There’s only one inevitable thing for us all — death. It’s a grim, yet unavoidable experience. While we can’t know exactly what a person feels when they pass away, the mystery surrounding it remains universal.

Well, some people got a chance to experience such a thing when they died and were brought back. Since such incidents aren’t so common, they didn’t shy away from sharing their stories online. And so, we collected them and made today’s list, which ended up being both entertaining and kind of even educational.

I had a cardiac arrest and no pulse for 13 minutes. I was kept alive with CPR and eventually shocked back to life with a defibrillator. I woke up several times but kept slipping unconscious. There was nothing there. Just black blank spaces in time that were very short. A lady did the CPR for 40 minutes and it went by in a second.

But I did have a feeling of not wanting to die or leave my life.

I had a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism. The Doctor afterwards told me it was the biggest clot he’d ever seen. I can’t say for sure, but I know when it happened, in the moments leading up to it I heard a voice say “Sit down on the chair”. As soon as I did I was out. I can’t describe it other than saying it felt like my body was lifting into the air. I felt simultaneously heavy and super light at the same time. I woke up covered in cold sweat. I spent a month in ICU after that.

A yellow cottage surrounded by a wildly overgrown flower garden, in the midst of a green field.

Felt a presence behind me and a voice giving me a stern talking to for being there too early.

Woke up with a strong sense of duty towards my loved ones, including ones I hadn’t met yet. I must’ve been out for maybe a few minutes tops but it felt like I was out for significantly longer.

It flipped a switch in me. Still depressed, but [ending it all] is absolutely not an option anymore. It’s not my place to decide when I go, since my life affects others.

I choked when I was about 10. I had a dream where I felt this unusual disassociated feeling, I was swimming in the air with video game like characters.
When my father managed to unblock my airways I came back and I immediately said. “Why did you wake me up. It was the best dream ever”

At first panic, then I remember having enough time to think something along the lines of, “Omg this is how I die”. Then there was an overwhelming feeling of calm, peace, and acceptance, then nothing at all. It was just like sleeping without amy dream.

I didn’t have any life flashing before your eyes or anything like that. Just checked out for awhile.

When I was 10 I had a cardiac arrest was in the hospital for the remaining summer I don’t remember everything but I do know when I came back I was unable to talk for a while and I had to relearn how to live it’s been 10 years ago and I have a permanent back injury from lying in the hospital for most of the summer that year.

Not sure if this counts, but I died three times as a baby. I was born 1 lb and 9 oz, and my heart was just, well… not winning any races. Spent my first four months in an incubator at the Ronald McDonald House, and I’d flatline randomly out of the blue, just to keep things interesting at the hospital. The doctors had to resuscitate me like I was a broken phone on 1%. So, yeah. Just the perks of being an infant-sized potato.

People love to ask, “Did you see God? Did you see the light? Was there a tunnel?”

And my answer is always: no. I was a literal baby, for crying out loud. I didn’t even know I was alive, let alone what “heaven” was. My whole existence was basically just me existing in a warm plastic box, trying not to die. Heaven didn’t make the cut on the “things to think about when you’re 1 lb” list. I didn’t even know I had fingers until I was like, 3.

So, yeah. No great spiritual awakening. Just a really bad heart and a lot of resuscitations. Yep.

Almost dying was the most peaceful part of my life. its not scary when it happens, it doesn’t hurt. What I remember was a trippy experience, fade to the best peace I’ve ever experienced, fade to the next trippy experience. this happened in about 4 hours.

I can share my experience. I was giving birth, and it was going wrong. I was bleeding out and my baby was showing severe signs of fetal distress.

I thought I was on a boat. It was on a quiet lake, and I was drifting further and further out into the silvery white. I could hear voices off in the distance, but only just. It was very, very peaceful, and I was just drifting away.

Until I heard my sister’s voice saying, “We’re doing a caesarean” and I didn’t care, had no sense of it at all. Apparently the room was crowded full of people rushing about, but I honestly thought it was just me and my sister there.

There was a happy outcome – my beautiful girl and I survived. But I have often thought since that I really hope that all the women who died in childbirth back in the day – and there were soo many- had an experience like mine. They just kept drifting off into the silver, calm and content.

Honestly it was rather disappointing. Heart stopped for 9m in the military. I remember waking up in the morning, putting my feet on the floor, blink, and woke up in the hospital. I don’t remember anything about it.

#11

I woke up someplace that I didn’t understand. It was just like this plain. No structures. It was just off to the horizon in every direction and I was like: “Okaay, this is weird.”, and there was a noise, kind of like a hum in the background, like an irritating hum. I don’t know. Something. Then, I saw somebody walking up from a long way away. I thought I recognized him, but I wasn’t sure, and it took quite a while for him to start getting up to me, and, as he was coming, the hum, the noise, the scratchy, irritating hum, was getting a little bit louder all the time, and I realized that this hum was something unpleasant. I didn’t know what it was, and I knew that I didn’t want to know what it was. Then, I recognize the person that was coming up was somebody I knew. He was my old boss at work that was always nice to me, and looked out for me, that died. As he walked by he said casually: “Oh, that’s just Stephen. He’s okay.” and the noise went quiet ÷).

Nothing. And it was almost instant, no time to panic or think this is it.

Was here, was gone, then came back after approx 45 mins CPR (dont want to get into the details).

There was absolutely nothing.

CPR left me with chronic chest trauma, 2 years later I’m still in severe pain.

I don’t really know where I was, it was like a white void. I’m not explaining it well, it was pretty inexplicable. It’s all very fragmented and it’s like when you woke up for a dream where in the dream you’re doing fantasy stuff like flying or walking through walls but in the dream it’s all stuff you totally accept, well I had that feeling about life while I was there.
