My grandma, Leola Curtis, felt sick one day and went to the hospital. Despite all the tests they ran, they couldn’t find the cause of her illness. Yet she worsened, unable to keep anything down.

Lani Leary went to the dentist (sad to say, after reading so many dental NDEs, I’m a little less comfortable now getting dental work done!), had an allergic reaction to the nitrous oxide, and died. And floating over her body, rather than feeling sad about her death, she felt compassion for the poor dentist, who …

P.M.H. Atwater is both an experiencer and a near-death researcher.
