We all wonder what happens in the afterlife, but one woman experienced it for herself.

Amber Cavanagh from Canada has claimed that she saw her husband "weeping" over her body after having two strokes at age 43.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, she added that in what felt like an of out of body experience, she visited the "meeting point" of heaven and earth.

She told the outlet: "It was horrific. I heard the nurses tell my kids: 'Say everything you want now to your mom, as you probably won't see her again'."

Mrs Cavanagh went on to describe how she felt as thought she had crossed to the 'other side' - into another dimension.

"I could see my physical body beneath me, but I could also see my kids being driven by their grandparents to the hospital. I could see my husband weeping over my body. 

"There was no going toward the light, or people calling me – I was just watching over everything and everyone."

She continued: "I went into what I can only describe as the 'meeting point' of heaven before officially passing over. There was no fear, only love.

"I looked like the best version of myself and had everyone I had ever loved that was no longer with us around me – including my childhood dogs.

"Then, I saw all my loved ones to the right," she added. "Every version of me, past, present and future to the left, and my guides stood right in front of me. 

"I spoke telepathically to everyone, including my nan and grandma... there was such a deep-rooted feeling of pure comfort."

Luckily for both her and her family, it wasn't her time to die yet. She closed her eyes and suddenly, she was back in her own body again.  

"Knowing I had to leave this place that had an overwhelming glow of loving light was so difficult," Amber added.

Whilst what the afterlife entails will never truly be known, new research has shown that at the point of death, the brain can experience a "storm" or "surge of activity" - even in those who had been on extended life support.

As reported in The Guardian - most of those researching near-death tend to believe that consciousness can exist beyond death in some form, and outside the brain itself, but that is the organ through which humans receive it.
