A deep, unshakable calm — so profound, she said she misses it.
And that feeling didn’t vanish when she woke up.
It lingered — for weeks — like a gentle afterglow.
“It wasn’t a dream. It wasn’t a hallucination. It was real — to me.”
🔬 What Science Says About Near-Death Experiences
Lauren’s story is not unique — but it is rare.
Thousands of people who survive cardiac arrest report similar experiences:
A sense of floating above their body
Moving through a tunnel
Seeing bright light
Feeling overwhelming love and peace
These are known as near-death experiences (NDEs) — and they’ve been studied for decades.
What’s the explanation?
Scientists have proposed several theories:
Oxygen deprivation in the brain may trigger vivid hallucinations
Surge of neurotransmitters (like DMT or endorphins) during crisis
Temporal lobe activity — the brain’s “spiritual” region — firing erratically
Or, some suggest, consciousness may not be fully tied to brain activity — a controversial but growing idea
Yet, no one knows for sure.
And for people like Lauren, the experience isn’t about science.
It’s about feeling.
💬 “I Miss the Peace”
What stands out most in Lauren’s account isn’t the drama of death — it’s the longing.
“I miss it.”
Not fear.
Not regret.
But a deep, emotional yearning for that moment of pure stillness, safety, and serenity.
Many NDE survivors report the same:
They return to life changed — less afraid of death, more present, more compassionate.
Some say they’ve lost their fear of dying.
Others say they’ve gained a new purpose.
Lauren, too, seems transformed.
❤️ A Message of Hope — and Humanity

She didn’t claim to have seen heaven.
She didn’t preach.
She simply said:
