Kathleen B NELE 2/2/10 I began telling my grandfather that it was okay to let go and God would take care of him and to go toward God when I felt like I was being pulled toward a great bright light.  Not a harsh light but a light filled with warmth and peace.  I remember feeling and seeing my grandfather's had in mine and him telling me he was scared and he needed me with him.  It was bizarre as I was not dead or dying but I was having this feeling as if my spirit/body was being pulled toward the light at the same time as my grandfather was.  The light got brighter and then enveloped us. We were standing in a place that was illuminated but not with regular light or lamps or candles and there were other people there but I could not make out who they were nor was I frightened or surprised to see them.  My grandfather was on my left and we were still holding hands.
Exceptional experience of transitioning with her dying grandfather into the afterlife.  These types of experiences, along with shared NDEs, are among the strongest evidence that what happens in NDEs is what happens at the time of permanent, irreversible death.

Rose E Experience 2/2/10 My husband passed away on 050107 due to pancreatic cancer.  In the early morning of 050107, The time was 3:30am, I hadn't slept for more that 24 hours, and was really tired and sleepy.  My husband was dying, I fell asleep and 30 minutes later he woke me up.  I saw him in my dream, he called my name, I saw what he was wearing, and I woke up. I ran to my husband bedside and he was already gone.  It had just happened. 
ADC dream at time of husband’s death.

Kim B Experience 2/2/10  I received a call at 2:00 am that Heather had passed away.  I was very up set and sobbing.  I remember crying very hard my eyes shut and then suddenly feeling, (and this is so very hard to describe) a very peaceful calming feeling.  It slowly started at my feet and made its way up to my head.  It was the most beautiful feeling, as if to say "its alright, I'm fine!" Words cannot convey that feeling, I had never experienced that before and have not since. I looked up, because I was feeling so at peace and comforted and noticed a small ball of light hovering above me. It was somewhat stationary yet poised to move very quickly at any second. It hovered shortly and then zoomed out of the room.  I don't know what this was, but I definitely got the message that Heather was fine!

Karine P Experience 1/30/10 From France, Original in French translated to English by Jacqueline. I saw myself walking in a lovely garden, a pebble path of light gray (amazingly, they did not sound under my feet). The brightness of the place struck me. The light was very bright, intense but not at all dazzling, pleasant. The colors were indescribable, as we do not see on earth, green grass, blue sky, flowers, everything seemed much more beautiful and almost alive. There were people away, who were  talking quietly,  with a pleased look. They greeted me with the head and a smile and kept on with their conversation. They wore white robes without belts, to the feet. I felt at peace and safe. I saw a small white stone bench (like volcanic rock, but white), without back, on the edge of the road (I did not walk in the grass because it was so beautiful that I did not want to damage it). I sat and waited, certain that someone was coming to meet me, but I did not know who. I heard the birds sing a song similar to those of birds down here. They seemed aware of singing and being appreciated, even if I did not see them.
NDE-Like dream where she meets a recently deceased friend.

Amy D Experience 1/29/10  Next thing I know, I am standing outside the nursing home where Josie lived. The most beautiful golden light was shining above and I was in amazement as I looked at the trees the light emitting from every leaf and it was Autumn; the colors had a vibrancy and brilliance never seen on earth. Next I heard my grandmother's voice "This place is not-ting but corridors!"  My heart again felt so heavy and I told her I understand and I am so sorry!  I did not see her physically, but felt her next to me. She then told me she was" leaving" and wanted to tell me how much she loved me.  Instantly, I felt what she meant and understood the Light.  I stood in awe. Everything conveyed was telepathic and was felt in emotion more than the words. The love exuded was felt full bodied and consuming
Shared Death Experience (NELE/ADC)

Cassie Experience 1/23/10  As I kept praying I was standing at the railing at the hospital and all of a sudden about 5 min. After he passed I felt this strong force, I knew it was him next to me and I sat down when I sat down I literally felt his arms wrapping around me, hugging me. It was the strangest yet most awesome feeling.
ADCs from step-grandfather.

Jessica B Experience 1/14/10  I rolled on my side facing the back of the couch, suddenly instead of seeing the couch like I should have I could see the stairs the lead up to our bedroom. On the steps was my husband who had passed away just under 3mth ago. He was wearing the tuxedo he wore for our wedding about 6mths ago. He had his full beard and hair (when he passed he had lost just about all of both due to chemotherapy. He appeared solid and in full color and had a soft glowing aura that was a whitish gold in color. He walked down a few steps and sat down. I immediately began to cry and told him how much I loved and missed him etc.

  Joel J Experience 1/14/10  My Mother and father had come to contact me, I felt their presence and I knew somehow that they had come to communicate with me. They let me know that they were alright. My father said that I was doing well and they would not visit again. I got the feeling that was the reason for the visit, to check on my welfare, and to give me a message. My father said emphatically "Enjoy your life!" This was his message from beyond and he said it so strongly, I knew that was the most important reason for the visit.
ADC from deceased parents.

  DB Experience 1/14/10  I woke up a little while later and heard rushing, loud, bubbling water. I sat up trying to figure out where the water was coming from because it wasn't like water you heard in the pipes, or after someone flushes or anything like that. It was everywhere. It was big, like it was in the air. Also heard what sounded like a new car engine right next to my head. As I lay back down (because I was too tired to get up and check it out) I heard Helene's voice. She said "Der r r r r " Her voice, or the word trailed off. I don't know what she was trying to say but it shocked me. I never thought I'd hear her voice again.
ADC from friend.

Moira C Experience 1/14/10  I sat in my father's chair, still sobbing, when a picture frame with a photo of my father's mother, fell of a shelf and landed on the floor a couple of feet away from me. The photo had been in the shelf for 2 1/2 weeks so my father could see it from his bed. Nobody had touched it. When this happened I immediately stopped crying and the feelings of panic went to be exchanged for feelings curiosity and almost disbelief this could have happened. I put the photo back on the shelf and tried to get it to fall off and land in the same place -- and it wouldn't happen. If it fell off the landing position was always much further away than had been the case when I was crying.
ADC shortly after father’s death.

Robert N Experience 1/2/10  My son found her in the backyard.  Then he came running inside the house yelling "Dad, mom hung herself!"  She was a drinking that night.  I thought this can't be???  I ran out the back door.  The rope broke and she was laying on the ground.  Looking at her neck and the cuts from the rope.  I knew she was gone and I started to scream.  She was all I had , my love for her is beyond words.  All I knew is she was gone [darkness].  Then the most pretty light and she was under the that light.  My grandma was to the right of the light and my dad was to left of the light with his hands in his pockets.  My grandma was holding a handkerchief over her mouth looking down at me.  They were all looking at me, like when you break down at night and some one walks to you with the car lights behind them.  She was o.k. She's ok!!!!
Dramatic ADC shortly after he found his wife dead from suicide.

  Jeff K Experience 1/2/10 The next day I went to class at the University and cried on the drive in, but I wasn't too distraught because I believed in life eternal and was thankful she had not suffered.  When I got home I was standing in my bedroom when I felt/saw a white flash shoot across the room from my upper right to left.  I knew immediately it was her sending me a message.  Then I laid down to take a nap and was in that state between sleep and awake when I had a vision of my grandmother standing behind and slightly above a figure dressed like a monk in simple brown vestments.  She had her hands folded in front of her and head bowed.
ADC from Grandmother.

Erika H Experience 12/20/09 I had just qualified as a state swimming official. This was my first experience of being the official announcer for a state swimming meet at an Olympic pool. I was anxious. I saw the deceased in the spectator stand for a few seconds. He was looking directly at me, nodded slightly, his body seemed to say, it's OK you can do it. I announced the event calmly. Looked back to the spectator stand and he was gone. The seat he had been sitting in was vacant. He appeared again to me about one month later while I was swimming laps outdoors.  No visual appearance. Just his voice spoke. "Tell Elaine" (his wife) I told his wife about the experience and she fully  believes me.

  Lynn R Experience 12/6/09 The last time I went into the closet and came out the room was filled with what I can only describe as a golden warm light, there isn't really a word to describe it exactly.  I felt caressed by it, almost like being inside warm oil.  It was warm and comforting and seemed to eclipse the light from the bedside lamps.  I sat down on the foot of the bed.  While no words were actually spoken I felt like I was being told that everything was all right, and that I was to help my mother all I could.  There was a strange white shimmery light in the doorway to the hall, and when my brother came to the door he asked me if I thought he could come through it.  I told him yes and he sat with me on the bed.  He asked me what was happening, what the light was, and I told him to just let it comfort him and he did.  After about five minutes it began to fade away slowly.  I was left with a feeling of peace and the firm belief my Dad was in a better place.
ADC from deceased father.  ADC was also witnessed by brother.

  Rene' S Experience 12/6/09 At some point, I found myself hovering in mid-air above a glorious river, across from a gushing waterfall.  Above the waterfall, was my son, Carson.  He was surrounded by the most luscious, thick, green Ivy I've ever seen.  Carson was glowing.  I felt so warm and secure.  We began to communicate with each other, but not by mouth.  It was mind-to-mind.  I knew enough to realize that I was no longer in my earthly state but a whole new spiritual state and that I could comprehend what he was saying in this spiritual state, but not in my earthly state.

  Kumar A Experience 12/6/09 From India. One night soon after her death, I got up from my sleep and turned around to see some thing pale grey harrowing up near my bed. I sleep sound and very few things frighten me. I am a smoker. My first thought was did I leave a cigarette burning? I looked for the ash tray and found no such signs. I turned and saw the smoke like thing still up there. Turned my back to it and went off to sleep again. O yes I put the light on to check the ashtray. Turned the light off and went to sleep.  Later I realized that it could have been her.
ADC from deceased wife.

Margaret Z Experience 12/6/09 From Egypt.  I heard of my husband's death in Alexandria. He had to be buried before sunset same day. I spent the night with his sister. The next morning I forced myself to come home because we had two cats to feed and I also wanted to go home. He had died alone at home. When I entered our home I was numb and shocked. I walked into the bedroom where he had died. I stood beside the bed he had died in, and the two cats stood outside the door. I stood beside the bed, I felt a breeze (warm) it was March and reasonably hot in Egypt on my left hand, suddenly I felt a much stronger, for want of a better word, movement of air, to my right, and much, colder. I was startled and said 'what's that'. I (regret now) pulled my hand away. I hadn't expected that. I checked everything in the flat was closed, no windows open, nothing.

Karen N Experience 12/6/09 After mom's funeral, when I returned home, I checked her guestbook on legacy. I saw and entry with my mother's name on it, When I called Legacy and had them look at it. The had no record of anyone making an entry, When you make an entry, you must provide an email and no email was found. I believe when I asked mom to let me know she reached heaven, and she promised me she would, this was her word made good, and God's gift of reassurance to me.
Two ADCs from mother.

  Kay C Experience 12/6/09 I thought about the dream I had of dad. Then suddenly I turned and looked, about 20 yards away from where Ray stood and smiled at me, and there it was. The same exact rounded bench that dad was sitting on in my dream! Dad had come to me in a dream and now he had come to me in my life.  Dad wanted to get many messages to me and he did just that. He wanted me to stop being bitter, and to let go of all the pain and the hurt I had buried deep down inside of me.
Multiple dramatic ADCs from father.  The TV show ‘Unsolved Mysteries” wanted to do a show on this, but she declined when the TV show wanted to embellish the experiences.  We commend Kay’s decision.

  Debbie C Experience 12/6/09 It was the day before my birthday, April 12, 2008. My sisters, brother, mother along with my daughter and son, treated me to a dinner at my sister's house. I had requested for them not to sing "Happy Birthday" to me. Dinner was great, we had dessert and my two kids were headed out to a party. I decided to head home. My husband was working the midnight shift, so I didn't expect him to be home until 7am. I left my sister's at 11:00pm and arrived at my house around 11:35pm. I decided to shower. I was feeling the sadness and the pain of the loss of my son and didn't feel like watching TV or doing anything else, so I decided to go sleep. As soon as I laid my head on the pillow, I felt a soft kiss on my temple and my son's voice say, "Happy Birthday, mom." As I looked at the clock on my nightstand it was 12:00 midnight (April 13).
ADC from deceased son on her birthday.

Melanie K Experience 11/21/09 I could feel his thoughts and emotions, we could communicate through our minds. I instantly knew he'd just died and told him through my head that he wasn't to worry, he had just died. I told him that everybody was waiting for him on the other side and go towards the light, I told him he needed to move on and not to be afraid (I just didn't know what else to say, I wanted him to calm down and give him some words of advice on what to do). He then just disappeared, although I couldn't 'see' him, I knew where he was in the room before he 'went'. I felt quite comforted. I then turned round to my friend and told her my granddad had just died and he was just here in the room in front of me. Next day, rang mum in the UK because of this, she said he had died the day before. I knew he was ill but not on his death bed, we weren't even close! He died the same time this happened to when working out the time difference.
ADC from Grandfather at the time of his death.

Robbrina A Experience 11/21/09 I seen my friend sitting at the end of the couch by my feet. His name was Adam & was a good friend of mine. He had died months earlier suddenly,...after being released from a long prison sentence he came home & died 2 weeks later as a result of a overdose. He had decided to try heroin again after being clean for years, & died alone in his room. I was overcome with joy by seeing him by I suddenly had a rush come over me...like a feeling & I received the explanation that it was Adam doing these things to me for the past 2 weeks. I got annoyed with him & said, "It was you? You were doing this to me? Why??" It felt like I was moving my lips but the question came inside my mind. He answered," Because I am mad at all of you. God made me die for a reason, so you all would stop getting high & you ARE ALL STILL DOING IT!" I knew he was talking about the circle of friends we had, which all of them used heroin…
