My husband hallucinated and swore that he saw my mother’s husband sitting in a chair in his hospital room staring at him over his mask. He thought my mom was his nurse too.
I had a giant SAH rupture almost 12 years ago and still remember my NDE as crystal clear as the moment I am in right now. My husband’s convinced it was the drug induced coma I was in, but I feel in my heart it happened while I was on the table. It did feel like my journey lasted for days, though, so time was out of sorts.
I could go into a vivid description of what I saw, how it smelled, and what the light, gentle wind felt like and even tasted like. It was beyond beautiful and beyond description using the English language. I will continue to try…
So to answer your question, yes, I believe I went to the other side during my 16 hour brain aneurysm operation. I didn’t see myself on the table, but when it came time for my father ( who had died 8years in the past,) to escort me to the gate, we stopped just shy of it. I had asked him for a taste of the 50 yr.old single malt scotch he was holding. He smiled and said, " No dear, it’s not your time yet, there are your children that need you, you need to go back to them, plus there are things you still need to do on our earth."
I’m still trying to figure that last part out. Survivors guilt can come in various ways!
The strength and message I hope you all get from my shortened story of the other side is this: It’s there for each of us, it’s beyond words beautiful, and there is no reason to fear it. I hope the crystal clear knowledge of those three facts will help you when your time comes.

This is absolutely wonderful that people are able to share their experiences on this forum and I feel an important part of the healing process.
I also remember meeting a Devine being that I believe was Jesus. It didn’t have a human form but I knew instantly that my life was in its hands and that they would “take it from here”. It was the most amazing experience and has encouraged me to embrace my faith and forms of meditation and prayer.
I will also caution anyone that some Christians, I have found, are very turned off by these stories, so cherish your experience because in the end your moment with God is all that matters.
I’ve only recently began sharing my experience with people publicly and I’m amazed at the levels of relationships it can bloom.

People don’t always practice what they are taught or perhaps they are choosing to focus on one tree and not the entire forest, I’m not really sure. But we have always been and will continue to be a safe place for people to share their experiences, no matter their belief system.

Hi Alex lovely to meet you. First of all I am so pleased you survived and are doing OK.
I had a 3mm aneurysm which I didn’t know I had or how long I had it. One day it ruptured. It was certainly not a candidate for rupture as I had very low blood pressure and it was so small. I put it down to taking Gingko for a week before not knowing that Gingko causes bleeding (small print at the bottom of the bottle).
I died three times after the rupture. One minute I was on the hospital bed and the next I was in a large room like a hospital. Everyone was kind and a gentleman came and asked me if I knew the answer to the question I will be asked in order to enter Heaven. The next minute a door opened and bright light came pouring out. The next minute I am back on the hospital bed.
This happened twice more and the doctors told me that they had lost me three times.
That was 22 years ago and luckily I lived to see my young son grow into a man.
Good luck for the future

I did not see the other side and as far as I can remember, I did not go to the other side…. not that I recall. I’m kind of disappointed that I didn’t really “see anything.”
But the other side came to me.
I was laying in bed after my aneurysm had burst during the night and I went into cardiac arrest. They rushed me into ICU and revived me. (Not 100% sure how I feel about that.
)
But a day or two later, I was lying in my bed resting when the door opened…. And my mom walked in. She came over and sat next to the bed, and I started to cry. She stood up and hugged me tight and she said Patty, don’t worry, everything’s gonna be OK.
She spent what seemed to be an hour or more with me and we just talked. It was so comforting. But in the back of my mind, the whole time I kept thinking something’s not right here. But it was beautiful and it was wonderful.
After a while, she stood up and said I’m sorry, but I have to go now. She hugged me again and said “I love you.” I said “I love you too, mom. Thanks for coming to see me.”
The next day, my little brother called me. I said to him, “Tom I have to ask you a question and it’s gonna sound weird.” He said “OK Patty what’s up?” I said “Tom, where is mom?” (I was still confused and befuddled at this point in my recovery)
There was a long pause, and he said “Pat you were at her funeral three years ago. Why would you ask me that?”
I told him everything that happened and said “I knew something wasn’t right. And they’re telling me, I dreamed it. But Tom, she was here. She hugged me and told me everything was going to be OK.”
There was another pause and he said, “Patty we are Christians and believers. Who am I to say that God didn’t let mom come back for a little while just to comfort you because he knew you needed it?”
So while I can’t say 100% if it was real or not, one thing I can say is that I’ve never had a dream hug me before and be able to feel it like that. It was awesome. Thanks, God!

Hey there!! Sorry you had to go through all of htat! I hope you are doing well now! I believe all of that is real and I find it so interesting. I was just talking to a guy at work that this happened to. He said he had a leaking brain aneurysm and he was above his body and saw himself and the nurse working on him, etc. I watch the Randy Kay podcast on NDE’s at night. The episode that the man was dead for 44 hours is really good! Highly recommend. If you watch, please let me know what you think!! I think you will really enjoy it!!!
