Dr. Diane K. Corcoran\, RN\, PhD\, Col (Ret) Army
\n\nExpertise in Validating\, Educating\, Supporting Near-Death Experiencers
\n\n&ldquo\;I came to believe that many soldiers were having near-death experiences as bombs exploded and gunfire nearly took their lives. But many were uncomfortable sharing what happened\, and felt they had no one to talk to. I knew they needed an outlet &ndash\; someone to share their life-transforming experience with &ndash\; who wouldn&rsquo\;t be dismissive or think they were crazy.&rdquo\; ~ Dr. Diane Corcoran
\n\nNDES Are REAL Experiences \;A Near-Death Experience (NDE) is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death or\, if not near death\, in a situation of physical or emotional crisis. Because it includes transcendental and mystical elements\, an NDE is a powerful event of consciousness\; it is not mental illness. \;A person who has had a Near-Death Experience (an NDEr) often has mixed feelings. A person may express anger\, grief or relief. Some will remember their NDE immediately\, while others may have aftereffects but not recall the experience. Some reactions are fear that the NDE signifies a mental disorder\, disorientation because reality has shifted\, \; euphoria\, feeling special or &ldquo\;chosen&rdquo\;\, withdrawal to ponder the experience. \;In &ldquo\;Nearing Death Awareness&rdquo\;\, dying people may become aware of\, for example\, the presence of deceased loved ones who are there to reassure them.
\n\nIf you had an NDE\, you are not alone and have NOT lost your mind. \;When NDErs own their experience and have somebody who really knows about it\, understands\, and gives them the information they need\, then those men and women combat veterans can begin to heal.
