Amanda Weidman, from British Columbia, says a near-death experience (NDE) during a 2017 car crash changed her life and beliefs forever. While driving home from a music festival with her partner, their car collided with another vehicle on a mountain road and flipped onto a concrete guardrail. “In that split second, I 100 percent believed I was going to die,” Amanda recalled.

She described feeling her spirit leave her body. “I first experienced a vast blackness that felt safe and endless. I felt a presence — what many would call God — surrounded by millions of loving, non-judgmental presences,” she said. Amanda explained that the experience felt more real than life itself, giving her a deep sense of peace and clarity.

After surviving with only minor injuries, Amanda completely changed her life. “I started a trauma coaching business, do volunteer work, and focus on gratitude,” she said. She believes her NDE proves that life continues beyond death and encourages others to live with purpose and spirituality.
