Another woman felt alone and empty while floating as a ball of light in space. A man was surrounded by blackness and misery as he floated in nothingness.

    Near-death experiences: ‘A light came into

    view’
    Today.com
    Excerpted with permission from “Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of
    Near-Death Experiences” by Dr. Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry (HarperOne,
    2010).

    A life review experience accurately reflects real events in the person’s life,
    even if those events have been forgotten. Fragments of life may be seen, or the
    review may be fully panoramic with a comprehensive review of most of the
    prior life. Here is one such example, from a young woman from India who
    nearly died from a complication of anesthesia:

    My entire consciousness seemed to be in my head. Then I started seeing


    pictures. I think they were in color. It was as if someone had started a movie
    of myself and of my entire life, but going backwards from the present
    moment. The pictures were about my family, my mother, other members,
    others, and it seemed that the most meaningful, loving, caring relationships
    were being focused upon. I could sense the real meaning of these
    relationships. I had a sense of love and gratitude towards the persons
    appearing in my flashback. This panoramic review of my life was very
    distinct; every little detail of the incidents, relationships, was there — the
    relationships in some sort of distilled essence of meaning.

    Distressing Near-Death Experiences: The Basics


    Nancy Evans Bush, MA
    There are also distressing experiences. A woman collapsed from
    hyperthermia and began re-experiencing her entire life: “I was filled with
    such sadness and experienced a great deal of depression.”

    Another woman in childbirth felt herself floating on water, but at a


    certain point, “It was no longer a peaceful feeling; it had become pure
    hell. I had become a light out in the heavens, and I was screaming, but no
    sound was going forth. It was worse than any nightmare. I was spinning
    around, and I realized that this was eternity; this was what forever was
    going to be…. I felt the aloneness, the emptiness of space, the vastness of
    the universe, except for me, a mere ball of light, screaming.”

    A man who was attacked by a hitchhiker felt himself rise out of his body:
    “I suddenly was surrounded by total blackness, floating in nothing but
    black space, with no up, no down, left, or right…. What seemed like an
    eternity went by. I fully lived it in this misery. I was only allowed to think
    and reflect.”
