See full show notes for Near Death Experiences - NDE's with Dr. Jan Holden Episode
NDE's (Near Death Experiences) are when someone is clinically dead (or close to it) for a set period of time before being medically resuscitated. During this time people report floating above their body, describe the hospital room and often details of what was going on, such as what doctors and nurses were saying or doing. But are these genuine evidence of what happens when we die or hallucinations with logical and material explanations?
Dr. Holden shares remarkable stories of "veridical perceptions" which is when what people see and perceive during NDE's turns out to be verified by the doctor or other credible witnesses such as their family members. People often report seeing deceased loved ones during NDE's, but when people also see loved ones who died suddenly and no one knew they were deadDoes that mean our loved ones who passed away chose not to be with us? As someone in grief, Liz finds that hard to face, and Dr. Holden discusses her thoughts on that topic. These are just some of the aspects of NDE's that Dr Holden, an expert in the field, discusses with Liz and Darren.
