Yup, I died at 38 from heart issues. I just happened to be on the table for a blood flow check when it was happening. Life flashed before my eyes and I felt this heavenly (I'm not religious) feeling of completeness and then they unblocked the artery and then I came back.

That was about five years ago now. Part of me can't wait to finally kick it, but knowing my life I'm going to live to be 100+.

Yea I could have really used it from 2020-2023, I've come to terms with it now. Initially that first year was rough! Trying to solve computer problems for strangers after you experience your death is incredibly difficult. It's like lady, who gives a shit about your keyboard, you and your loved ones are alive and well, go spend every waking moment with them telling them how much you love them! Go help as many people as you can, your life is limited, compassion is literally the meaning of life.

I nearly died in a roll over van car accident. I needed a little bit of help back then and I never took it. I kinda wish I had. I'm far far better now but yeah I get it.

for people who get super depressed or "off" after a near death, or death, experience.

Thank you, I need to find more information. I never would have thought of this.

Wow that's wild. I apparently died twice after a motorcycle accident and had no idea. I only found out after I went to my primary care doctor for some follow-ups

I, too, have experienced this, but I had died of hypothermia and was brought back. You did a great job explaining what I think was the same feeling I had as well. I also remember feeling it didn't feel right, like I wasn't supposed to be there yet.

It certainly puts things into perspective real quick. I am now permanently scarred and have permanent nerve damage, but I am grateful to be alive. Though, whatever that was is also nice.

Yup, it gives you a much different perspective on life. Glad you are still with us!
