American author and realtor Claudia Edge shares her near-death experience that made her learn the truth about stars.

Claudia was 30 years old, pregnant, and due any day. Though healthy with a normal pregnancy, she felt an unshakable instinct that something was wrong and went to the hospital to be checked. Within minutes in the exam room, she noticed blood on the floor, which suddenly became a torrent. Her placenta had filled with blood and burst. An intern declared she had two minutes to live.

Pushed onto a gurney, Claudia heard there was no fetal heartbeat. With no time for an operating room or anesthesia, doctors held her down and performed an emergency Caesarian section. The pain was excruciating as her organs were moved aside. She saw a nurse wrapping her intestines around her arm. When they lifted her lifeless baby from her body, everything overwhelmed her. She mentally said, “I’m out of here,” and let go.

The transition to death was smooth, like muscle memory—as though she had done it before. Claudia floated through hospital walls, fully herself but free of her physical shell. At first, she explored playfully, then entered a man’s room, realized he couldn’t see her, and understood she was dead. Instantly, she was in another dimension—a vast, dark space beyond description. The darkness was total, yet alive and intelligent. She felt utterly loved, cradled, and held, completely content to remain there.

Claudia eventually heard a call to return, and woke in the hospital lucid, with no drugs that could explain her experience. As a teaching hospital patient, she was questioned closely. Her description of peaceful darkness drew skepticism, and fearing judgment, she stayed silent about it for 25 years.

Years later, as her children grew, the near-death experience resurfaced. Claudia prayed for understanding, wondering why she hadn’t seen gardens or rivers like others described. In dreams, a guide began appearing, doing odd things to catch her attention. When she noticed him, he held up signs that read, “Pay attention,” or “Come with me.” Eventually she accompanied him and began receiving “memory downloads” at what she called Spirit School, where answers to her deep spiritual questions came in layers, the whole truth being too vast for our “little brains.” She was shown that what she’d brought back was like droplets in a paper cup pulled from an ocean of knowledge.

In one memory, Claudia was in a clear sphere traveling through the Universe with her guide. Stars approached— conscious, radiant beings that recognized her. “Claudia’s back!” they called joyfully. Their colors were vibrant— yellows, pinks and oranges— leaving glowing tails as they passed. Claudia realized stars are alive and aware. In another dream, her guide pointed to a star and said, “Do you want to see your brother’s star?” She saw a star twinkling proudly like her gym-loving brother Jeff, and recognized it as his.

Later, she dreamt she was in a nebula with a group of fourth- or fifth-grade primary school students, reflecting her spiritual “grade level.” Each awaited their own star. A massive tube of swirling gases rose, forming stars. When each star was ready, the child decorated it. One girl made a pink star; a boy added toy log towers. Claudia woke before decorating hers, but understood the vision: souls have their own stars, their cosmic homes.

Claudia often tells people to look at the night sky with new eyes—the stars are not mere decoration; they are intelligent, they know us, and they are us (The Other Side NDE)
