<p><strong>She died for 45 minutes... and saw nothing but darkness. So why did it feel like Heaven?</strong></p><p>In this episode, Claudia Edge recounts the most harrowing night of her life — bleeding out from a placental rupture while giving birth to her fifth child, as doctors raced to save her baby while her own heart stopped. </p><p>What followed wasn't the typical tunnel-of-light NDE. Instead, Claudia floated through the hospital watching her own resuscitation, then crossed into an infinite, pitch-black space she insists wasn't a void — it was <em>absolute love</em>, a feeling so complete she calls it being "swaddled" by the universe. </p><p>No tunnel, no relatives waiting for her — just overwhelming peace, until a nurse's voice pulled her back.</p><p>Claudia also shares things she's never discussed publicly: encounters with benevolent extraterrestrials, ongoing afterlife communication with her late sister and mother, "pre-life planning" of our hardest struggles, and an intimate vision of Jesus as a playful big brother rather than a figure to worship. </p><p>Skeptic or seeker, this is one of the most unconventional NDE stories we've featured — and barely scratches the surface of her new book.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/i_3m8sL6rTM">VIDEO VERSION</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://RoundTripDeath.com">RoundTripDeath.com</a></p><p>Donate to this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/">https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://claudiaedge.com/">https://claudiaedge.com/</a> </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Dying-SPIRIT-SCHOOL-Curriculum-Teachers/dp/0999463551/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DL6RK10WBYN2&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HSVYyuBr1b-GJo0Ckg4qfO1qdQypHIFWHemFAFXg8rjGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.uUdTEwKLHIB-mwrhUYIYZ5TiO9Qfaf44LvaO43DpbiY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool&amp;qid=1782757102&amp;sprefix=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool%2Caps%2C276&amp;sr=8-1#">https://www.amazon.com/Dying-SPIRIT-SCHOOL-Curriculum-Teachers/dp/0999463551/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DL6RK10WBYN2&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HSVYyuBr1b-GJo0Ckg4qfO1qdQypHIFWHemFAFXg8rjGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.uUdTEwKLHIB-mwrhUYIYZ5TiO9Qfaf44LvaO43DpbiY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool&amp;qid=1782757102&amp;sprefix=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool%2Caps%2C276&amp;sr=8-1#</a></p>
