Sharon Stone says she was met by a white light when she passed away from a brain hemorrhage. Stone remembers the internal bleeding in her brain feeling similar to being shot in the head. She says that she was taken to a place far and beyond where she became reunited with her friends. The 56-year-old actress said in an interview with Kate Couric that her life has not been the same since and ”I get to be not afraid of dying and I get to tell other people that it”s a fabulous thing and that death is a gift.”
Near-Death Experiences of the Hollywood Rich and Famous extracted from Jean Ritchie's book, Death's Door.
Stone's NDE occurred after the doctors performed an MRI on her. She was unconscious in the MRI tube, and when she came out, the doctors were talking to her. Then her NDE happened:
"It’s sort of like passing out but you sort of pass up," she said.
The experience started off with an explosion of white light.
"It’s just a lot of white light and you see people that have passed on, and they talk to you, and then you pop right back into your body," Stone said.
The experience, however, did not leave Stone surprised; instead she felt an "incredible sense of well-being," and described the feeling as beautiful.
"It’s a very near and very safe ... and loving, and gentle, and OK [feeling], and there’s nothing to be afraid of," she said. "I had a real journey with this, that took me to places both here and beyond that affected me so profoundly, that my life will never be the same ... I get to be not afraid of dying and I get to tell other people that it's a fabulous thing and that death is a gift. And not that you should kill yourself, but that when death comes to you, as it will, that it's a glorious and beautiful thing. This kind of giant vortex of white light was upon me and I kind of -- poof! Sort of took off into this glorious, bright, bright, bright white light and I started to see and be met by some of my friends. But it was very fast -- whoosh! Suddenly, I was back. I was in my body and I was in the room."
