Died and Survived

WHAT IF OUR END WAS REALLY JUST THE BEGINNING? IT’S THE GREATEST MYSTERY OF OUR LIVES THAT NONE OF US WILL SOLVE UNTIL WE DIE. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE? British journalist and broadcaster Charlie Webster experienced life after death. After completing an exhausting 3000 miles charity cycling challenge from Europe to South America, she became critically ill and spent two weeks on life support in a coma. This is when she had her ‘NDE’—near death experience—she made a miraculous recovery that baffled doctors both in Brazil and the UK. After her close brush with death, she is now determined to open the conversation about the afterlife, and find answers to what she experienced in the moments doctors were trying to save her. In this captivating and inspirational 8-part series, Charlie will act as a detective, piecing together clues to build a bulletproof case as to how to approach death, and how to live in the here and now. She’ll meet with “experiencers” and hear their startling personal encounters with death and the beyond. She’ll also chat with experts - scientific and spiritual opinion leaders —who are using hard science and modern technology to gain never-before seen or heard evidence of the afterlife.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A fate that awaits us all - death. Despite a century of studies, we have only a fraction of understanding on what to expect when we stop breathing, living, existing. Or do we? It is estimated that around 20% of the population has experienced something that could be construed as end of life behavior. For some, these are not sensations triggered by night terror dreams, hallucinogenic drugs or a vivid imagination but clinical medical emergencies. They have been taken to the very edge of their body and brain's expiration boundary… seen and sensed what is behind that veil of mystery… but recovered to awaken with transformational effects on the rest of their lives.  This eight part documentary from Charlie Webster and Lionsgate Sound opens up on life after a near death experience in personal, poignant, painful or peaceful circumstances.  Listen to another Lionsgate Sound podcast hosted by Charlie Webster & Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson — Surviving El Chapo: The Twins Who Brought Down A Drug Lord: https://link.chtbl.com/survivingelchapo?sid=ds Follow Charlie Webster: https://www.instagram.com/charliewebster/ https://twitter.com/CharlieCW Learn more about your ad choices.

Fight or flight? NDEers share their own accounts of the circumstances where, why and what caused their experiences and assess the entities encountered and how and who they represented. NDE’s range between passive, euphoric dreamlike transcendence and horrific, malevolent traumas that leave a haunting legacy. With frank comparisons between lightness and darkness, play and pain, do we carry an array of sweet or sour memories into the afterlife?

The after life and how to prepare for it. A simple statement but, in brutal reality, is it a logical one? As they have done throughout the series, a wide range of respected opinion leaders - in medical, philosophical, psychological circles dissect the probability of an existence beyond this world. Is there something and someone waiting for us when we cross and is it actually to some ‘other’ place? Hopefulness or hopelessness? Science and faith regularly contradict each other, so will life after death push belief to a further boundary of acceptance?

Near death experiences aren’t always unexpected. For many, mental wellness and life traumas contribute to a deterioration in quality of life, an existence and little else. Whether a life long self doubt or a trigger based on abuse or any type, depression can push any of us closer to suicide, any gender, any age. Those who have sought to end their lives prematurely have also experienced NDE’s and those that remain, report a variety of impacts upon the version of themselves that survived their attempts to end life.

The simple truth. With immortality still unproven in modern science, we will all one day... die. But what part does the life we lead - and the length and location of our life - play in our belief that we can be carried to another - may be celestial - plain? Geographic and religious demography plays an important role in how we report our NDE’s and accordingly, how such declarations of near death encounters are received in the communities and family circles in which we live. During this episode Charlie takes the Greyson NDE scale assessment.

Making sense of it all - the opinion leaders heard throughout the series bring together a summary of how we can analyze the emotions and evidence of NDE’s and how we can promote coping and care in those who are affected and the family and friends that they share such soulful experiences with. Trust, acceptance and endeavor to learn more are key to gaining further understanding - because, whichever side of the opinion you stand, we will all face this journey one day in our lives. Whether that is our last day is open to further investigation.
