I have not experienced a NDE myself. I have had the honor and privilege of being present for both beginnings and endings...birth and death. I appreciate the wisdom in your statement that , "There can be no endings without beginnings and no beginnings without endings." In my experience working/serving families in all stages of the Birth-Life-Death Continuum that statement rings true.
Have you shared your NDE, I would Love to read about it.
I thought about linking back to this post, but ultimately they are all so subjective and I feel like my understanding of mine has changed so much over time that I couldn't even describe it the same exact way anymore, but hopefully you find something interesting in it. :)

It is really interesting from the post that you linked here how with each NDE your view about life and death evolved, to the point of writing about it again in this post. Perhaps we will have a better way of understanding and describing these experiences in the future, but it was a real eye-opener to get an insight into what someone else who has gone through these experiences think!
TY for sharing it :)
