I’ve endured two near-death experiences… and I’m finally revealing what actually happens in the afterlife
A Virginia woman who rose from the dead twice has broken her silence about what she actually saw in the afterlife.
Deborah Prum, a wife, mother and former research director at Dartmouth Medical School in New Hampshire, described out-of-body experiences she had during two traumatic events that nearly destroyed her family.
Her first near-death experience (NDE) occurred in the mid-1980s when Prum went into premature labor while pregnant with her eldest son.
He suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, low blood cell counts, liver problems and endured seizures.
Prum explained that she left her body during the emergency and entered a state without pain or emotion, looking down from the hospital ceiling as doctors worked to save Prum and her baby.
More than 20 years later, Prum and her husband were involved in a near-fatal car accident that sent her into a realm of bright yellow light, where she existed as pure energy.
Prum continues to wonder if he had a glimpse of the afterlife during the crash, and says that he does not want to return to his body before being sucked back to Earth.
She added that mysteriously, an unknown man grabbed her hand and held her steady until paramedics arrived at the crash, but her husband and first responders never saw the person or were able to identify who was there.

Prum said his first NDE was so shocking that he never told his friends about what happened in the hospital.
As his blood pressure soared, doctors shouted for Prum to be taken to the emergency room; Here surgeons were preparing to perform an emergency caesarean section to save her premature baby.
At this point, Prum described physically leaving his body and feeling hospital staff staring at him.
Her last memory of floating above the emergency room was as doctors wheeled her into the operating room for a C-section.
Prum would spend the next three days in a medically induced coma, and his newborn son would spend the first two weeks of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit.
‘I don’t remember telling anyone about my out-of-body experience except my husband, Bruce. “I didn’t know what to do about it and how to talk about it,” she said. Announced on HuffPost.
A study by researchers NYU Grossman School of Medicine showed that most survivors of near-death experiences recalled the awareness of entering what felt to them like another realm.
That’s exactly what happened to Prum in 2007, when she had a second brush with death after an SUV ran a red light and crashed into her and her husband’s car on Valentine’s Day.

Prum’s husband, a doctor, noticed that she had no pulse after the accident.
Although he continued to shout his name, Prum said he had already moved into an area where he lost all recognition as an individual and became an energy being connected to a greater ‘life force’.
‘Immediately following the accident, I had no awareness of myself as a unique being; I had no knowledge that I had a separate identity. Instead, I felt completely and deeply at peace in a way I had never felt before. At my core, I felt safe and at home,” Prum wrote.
The person who had the near-death experience described this happy land as filled with a bright yellow light that reminded him of being dipped in pudding.
However, she could still hear her husband calling her name in the distance, and she tried to block it out, as this energy field sent Prum into an euphoric state that she did not want to leave.
Shortly thereafter, Prum said, he retreated into the body, where a strange man, described as ‘in his 40s, with curly hair, a receding hairline, a button-up dress shirt and no tie,’ was waiting near the passenger-side door.
Prum said the man unbuckled his seat belt, prevented him from moving because of his injuries, and held his hand until the ambulance arrived.
Despite her vivid memory of this man and how he helped her, Prum’s husband never saw him at the scene of the accident, nor did the paramedics who rescued him from the car.
To date, no witnesses have been found who could confirm this mysterious good Samaritan was at the scene or who he was.
‘It took me having two NDEs to make me believe they existed. Would I be convinced if I hadn’t experienced these? “My guess is no,” Prum said.
