'I've died, twice, and
been sent back with the
same important
message'
[ copied from "mirror.co.uk"]

Norma has seen what is
on the other side and
now works with people
near death to offer her
perspective
A woman who saw the life
she was living and the one
that was planned for her
while flatlining three times
has explained the
important message she
was given to return with.
Norma Edwards says on
two of the three occasions
she has died she crossed
over into another realm,
where “otherworldly”
beings greeted her – and
sent her back.
She says she was given
one message to return
with: life is eternal and that
death isn’t the end; it’s a
new beginning. Norma
said: “I found myself in a
very dark tunnel, darker
than anything you can
imagine. But I wasn’t
afraid. I was travelling at
the speed of light, and then
I saw what looked like a
rainbow with colours I had
never seen before.
“As I got closer, it shifted
into crystal clear white
light. It was so brilliant, I
thought it might hurt my
eyes – and then I merged
with it.”
Norma’s first encounter
with death happened when
she was in her 20s. She
was on her way to work
when she collapsed and
flatlined. Norma said:
“The doctors told me I
had a dead foetus inside of
me that had been
poisoning my body.
“Then I passed out, and
the next thing I knew, I was
on the ceiling looking
down at my body on the
operating table. The pain
was gone. I wanted to tell
them I was okay, but no
one could hear me. As
doctors and nurses fought
to revive me, I was
propelled into a journey
beyond death.
“There are no words to
describe the joy, the bliss
and the love I felt. In
merging with the light, I
became love itself. I came
to a huge television screen
– larger than anything built
on Earth – and my life
began to scroll across it.
“It showed three columns;
the first was the life I
planned before coming to
Earth and the second was
the life I actually lived. And
the third was the result.
Each time, it said:
‘Objective not
accomplished.’
“I laughed at the sight of
my life literally flashing
before my eyes. But, once
the visions faded, I was
transported to a river,
where hundreds of familiar
souls waited for me on the
other side.
“Among them stood my
beloved aunt. She stepped
into the water to meet me
– and I did the same –
but just before we touched,
she stepped back and
said: ‘I’m so sorry,
they’re not allowing you
to say. They’re sending
you back with this
message.’ It was that
there is more to life than
meets the eye – and that
it’s eternal.”
Instantly, Norma was
pulled back into her body.
She said: “It was painful.
Like trying to pour a galaxy
into a teacup; my spirit is
huge, so when you force
that energy back into a
small body, it hurts.
“My senses were
heightened, and coloured
appeared as music, with
radios pulsing with light. I
could see inside people’s
bodies – I thought I was
going crazy. When I
walked under bulbs, they
would blow. I couldn’t
explain it.”
Her second brush with
death happened in
November 2024. Norma,
who lives in Maryland, US,
had suffered a cardiac
arrest early in the morning.
She urged her husband to
call for an ambulance
immediately, where she
flatlined.
The 80-year-old said: “I
knew exactly what was
going to happen. The
tunnel, the other side, I was
about to reach Heaven. But
they brought me back just
before I got there. And then
I flatlined again.
“This time, there was a
female presence; I think
she was an angel. She
guided me just in case I
got into my head that I was
going to stay. Of course,
when I arrived, I thought it
was all over.
“But they gave me the
exact same message I had
the first time.”
Norma said: “I was told
that half of my mission had
only been accomplished.
We’re stuck, locked in
fear. It’s my job to release
that, so people can be
rebirthed into awakening,
raise frequencies and get
on with life.”
Now, she works in senior
communities, offering
comfort and perspective to
those nearing death.
Norma added: “I don’t
fear death, because I know
it’s not the end. That’s
something my near-death
experience taught me; the
soul doesn’t die.
“It’s impossible to put
into words the joy,
radiance and peace I felt
when I merged with the
light. In that moment, I
wasn’t just surrounded by
it; I became one with it.
After my first experience, I
was overwhelmed with
grief.
“Not only for the loss of
my baby, but also for the
aching separation from the
divine light. The wholeness
I felt on the other side
made my return even
harder, leaving me with a
deep longing for what I
had once touched. For
years, all I wanted was to
go back.
“I saw my loved ones
there, I know they’re
waiting, and I know I’ll e

“I’ve found my greatest
blessings in the lives of
those I’ve served. Their
struggles and triumphs
have offered me invaluable
wisdom – and have
shown me a glimpse of
God’s grace. I tell the
people I work with to give
thanks for breath each
morning.
“As long as you have
breath, you have the
greatest gift in the world.
And when the time comes
to leave, know that there is
no death – you are just
leaving the body behind to
live a more expanded life
on the other side.

fear but fear itself.”
