In 2001, Dr. Lynda Cramer collapsed in her bathroom and was declared clinically dead for 14 minutes. But what felt like a brief moment on Earth became, in her experience, 5 extraordinary years spent in what she could only describe as "heaven." Not a religious heaven with a God, just a beautiful place of pure love.

She remembers floating above her body as paramedics worked below, then suddenly finding herself in a realm of vivid color and boundless beauty, fields of flowers, crystal lakes, and mountain ranges stretching far beyond anything on Earth. She said she could move instantly from place to place, talk to people, even become them, as if she were part of everything at once.

In that realm, Cramer says she met an ancestor who guided her through a review of her life. There was no judgment, only deep understanding. She felt a profound connection to everything and everyone, realizing that thoughts, emotions, and intentions create ripples across all of existence. She describes this other side not as a separate heaven in a religious sense, but as a higher dimension of consciousness, a place of pure awareness and love that has always been here, just unseen.

It was there, she says, that she learned the truth about reincarnation. It isn’t a linear cycle of dying and being reborn, but a vast network of simultaneous lives, each one an expression of a single, multidimensional soul. Every life, every experience, is chosen for growth and understanding. Time, she realized, doesn’t flow the way we perceive it, it unfolds all at once. “We never really die,” she later explained, “we just change channels.”

When Cramer returned to her body, her perspective on life completely changed. The experience left her certain that consciousness continues beyond death, and that love is the binding force of everything. What she once called “heaven” now feels to her like home, a reminder that this world, too, is part of something far greater and far more beautiful than we can imagine.

Movie Review: Eternity
A widows perspective on this new movie in theaters now.

Why It Matters for Widows
- Here’s what makes Eternity worth your time: it takes seriously the question that haunts many of us in quieter moments. Not “will I love again?” but rather “how do I honor what was while living what is?”

The film shows Joan frequently visiting the “Archives,” where she can relive memories of her earthly life. She becomes almost addicted to rewatching her moments with Larry, losing herself in what was. It’s a beautiful metaphor for how grief can trap us in memory, even when we’ve chosen to move forward.

The movie’s resolution—which I won’t spoil—suggests that the deepest love isn’t found in perfection or passion alone, but in the accumulation of small, imperfect moments that make up a shared life.

Joan’s struggle isn’t really about choosing between two men. It’s about choosing between two versions of herself: the woman she was at 20, full of possibility and untested love, and the woman she became at 80, shaped by decades of ordinary moments, arguments over dinner, grandchildren’s birthday parties, and the quiet intimacy of growing old together.

As widows, we know this tension. We honor the memory of young love while also recognizing that real love—the kind that survives mortgage payments and sick kids and disagreements about whether to remodel the kitchen—is built in the everyday.

When my beloved father passed, I didn't realise there would still be a faint line on the paramedic machine. It upset me.

I pray he had his 7 minutes.

Your brain replays your happiest memories in your final moments

For years, people have spoken about seeing their life “flash before their eyes.” Now, science suggests there may be truth behind it. Researchers studying brain activity at the time of death discovered something remarkable, in the moments after the heart stops, the brain doesn’t immediately shut down. Instead, it lights up.

For nearly seven minutes, waves of activity sweep through the brain, resembling the same patterns seen during dreaming, memory recall, and deep reflection. It’s as if the mind is replaying your most meaningful moments, your childhood laughter, your first love, your proudest achievements, one last time.

Scientists believe this final surge could be the brain’s way of processing the story of your life as it fades, giving you a last, vivid sense of who you were and what you loved.

Even in death, the mind finds a way to hold on to joy. Maybe the end isn’t darkness after all, but a beautiful replay of everything that ever made you feel alive.

“I’ve had to ask myself if I was in clinical depression, if I was psychotic, if I was manic, if the way that my consciousness was expanding … I’ve been part of teams that have locked people up and had them injected with stuff against their will because of things they were saying that’s not that dissimilar to things I’ve experienced in the last four years.”

Dr. Tara Swart is a name worth looking into to learn her journey.
