Felice's NDE (Part 2). Hit By A Speeding Pickup And Shared Death Experiences

0:00 Welcome to this bonus episode of Round Trip Death and part two of our interview with Felice DiMartino. After we finish up talking with Felice, I hope you'll stick around because we're going to talk a little bit about some ideas for the future of this show and I would love your input. So please be sure to stick around for that and to email any input that you might have to Eric at roundtripteath.com. Alright, let's finish off the interview. From the time that they pronounced me dead was a good 45 minutes. They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart, my heart had stopped and I could see people screaming and crying but I didn't realize that was actually my physical body because I was somewhere else. The only thing that I could feel if you could imagine absolute love and peace. There wasn't anything else to be felt. I was greeted by people I'd known in the past. I'm back home again. Incredibly safe and felt at home.

1:05 Shifting gears in a major way here. Tell me about shared death experiences. I find these fascinating. They're not talked about very much but I know that you've had some experience with it. Would you mind telling us about those experiences? Sure. So in 2006 I was with my grandmother. She had been in and out of hospice for like a few years basically. The night she passed I was there. I was by her bed. The first thing that happened was there was an I was there the hospice nurse was there and there was a knock at the door and there was something in me that knew that there's not going to be anyone at the door. We're not expecting anyone. It was like late it was 10 30 11 o'clock and it was late and sure enough we go to the door there's no one there. It's funny because it felt like the hospice nurse at the time was a little spooked and I was just like oh this is so cool right to experience this kind of stuff and I was open to this always. At some point we call my aunt and uncle they come over because the hospice nurse was like you know have them come over it could be any time that like tonight feels like it's going to be the night that she passes.

2:21 So my aunt and I are in the bedroom with her with my grandmother. She has a hospital bed. I'm sitting by the bed I'm holding her hand. My aunt goes to lay in the it was a big king-size bed and I'm holding her hand talking to her telepathically. My grandmother saying grandma it's okay you can go where I'll find you're so loved like I'm talking telepathically again and that's another thing. All of this and what happened in the near-death experience is telepathic. It's this telepathic energy communication and I'm holding her hand. I know that when I let go of her hand that's going to be it. So I'm saying you can go but meanwhile I'm holding her hand right. You're keeping her hand. Right exactly so the hospice nurse finally says get into bed I'll let you know when we're close when it's time. So again to bed I enter into a state that is not that that kind of theta state in between wakefulness and sleep and I go on this journey of my grandfather came. I was in this ballroom and I was looking down I was above I was looking down yet I was also a part of it and the relatives knew there were relatives there were old friends there were ancestors yet they were all in their youthful form they didn't look old and they knew that I was there and I was amongst them as I was existing and they were all dressed in these ball gowns and the men were dressed and

3:59 no one had feet. I noticed that they were all hovering no one had any feet and at some point the room parted and there was like an aisle was formed up the middle so they started to part an aisle was formed up the middle and I could feel my grandfather and another presence going up and there were two other presences with my grandfather and then as they walked or they sauntered or they moved up it was like walking up this aisle up to a platform and as they got up one of these angels I'm going to call this an angelic presence it was an imprint of there was an angelic presence there with my grandfather and as this reaching down there was a sense of my grandfather was there and there's this angelic presence right with him that reached down for my grandmother and I heard the words get up now and as soon as I heard that I shot up in the bed I looked around for half a second the hospice nurse had fallen asleep my aunt was laying in the bed next to me she was asleep I looked at my grandmother her eyes were wide open and she was taking her last breath okay so there was that that's part one yeah that's super interesting so so this this presence is reaching down and my grandfather is right there this angelic presence reaches down my grandfather right there when she crosses over I had my experience in 2015 in 2018 in March no that's not true

5:37 not 2018 a year and a half ago my dad passed on March 18 so 2022 2022 my dad he was at home and we had hospice care at home there was a nurse at home and we and the family was there the day that he passed we were in and out of the room and when he passed we all went in the room my mom's head was on his chest he took his final breath and I could feel him above the room I could feel him and oh in the morning of the day that he passed he was pointing up to the left at the corner and then as the day went on shortly before he passed he started reaching not just pointing you know he was pointing I would say daddy they're here to welcome you because he would point and then he would jolt back in his body like he would go out and point and look at us and then he would come back to his body so as the day went on and he started reaching towards the corner that's what happened there and when he when he transitioned and when he passed and my mom's head was on his chest I felt him above us and I knew from my own experience what that what that experience is to be out of the

7:08 body above the body to be able to hear everything that's going on so I entered into this space I had us all hold hands we were all holding hands around his body and I could feel him with him it was distinctly his essence his his imprint energetically looking down at us and I said daddy we know that you can hear us you can see us we're all going to take care of each other you know and really talking to him because they they can you can hear in that state and also the your soul's going to go off to soul school do its thing and we'll be here if and when you want to come back and communicate with us and for me what that that circle of love the reaching down for my grandmother and then my dad reaching up it completed the circle to have the experience from the other side reaching down waiting to welcome my grandmother and then on this side physically having my dad reaching up it was like this completion of what occurs for us and what's what's possible when we're with our loved ones to send them off because they're welcomed into love we're all welcomed back into the state of love you know we're not taught what to do when somebody dies yeah yeah or how did how to react how I think that was beautiful what you guys did thank you yeah I know there are people out there with a title of a death doula I haven't had any of them on the show yet but maybe one of

8:42 these days a few months ago we did have a hospice nurse on nurse Hadley she was awesome you might want to go back and listen to her and yeah some of the experiences sacred experiences I'll call them when people are passing over to the other side yeah it's a portal it's this sacred I mean it's this leaving your breathing form and existing they're still here with us you're just existing in another realm right and I have done my level one death doula training and I've studied I did some studying with William Peters who has something which you might want to look into the shared crossing project I have I have seen it I haven't really studied it or talked to him yet so you've had some of this training what are some of the things that you do as a death doula be fully present with and holding a safe space for the family to grieve to sit with the loved ones because a lot of times especially in our culture people don't want to talk about it the family doesn't want to talk about it to the person who's passing the person who's passing knows what's going on but it's like an unspoken kind of something that's hanging it's like the unspoken elephant in the room right so to sit with a person before they pass like is there talking with them about forgiveness or there is there anything that they want to share or if they're able to speak and share right at that point is it do they feel they have any unfinished business how can you facilitate

10:18 conversations you develop trust with the family if the person is unresponsive sitting with them holding hands hearing is the last sense to go so talking with that person because you know I know in the case of my daddy at alzheimer's and dementia and the body is doing what it's doing physiologically neurologically biologically the spirit the soul essence is pure and in an imperfection so the soul is still experiencing the purity of does that make sense like the body might not be like your loved one is still there the essence of who they truly are is still there and talking to the person and it depends again on what state they're in so any advice for someone who may be going through that soon with a loved one as far as the loved one who has a loved one who's going to pass yeah I would say to be in the heart out of the mind into the heart there's an opportunity to to kind of clear the air if you will so that soul can be freed and released without and the person could let go without feeling worried or attached or or guilty or whatever may arise to talk with the soul and to get really in touch with yourself you know it's okay we can grieve and be grateful

11:48 for someone's presence at the same time we can show forgiveness this is where forgiveness comes in really connecting out of the mind into the heart returning to that love all right here's something I asked nearly everybody near the end of an interview and that is what is your fear level of death personally so I do not have a fear of death at all I trust that it will occur as it occurs and the timing will be what it is and I trust in the divine timing of that and as a human there's a lot I still want to experience like I don't want to have I'm not worried about it happening tomorrow yet I want to be here for a while as you said to come full circle to be a grandma to my grandbaby's are we gonna happen are your girls gonna listen to this if so I've got a message for them police needs to be a grandmother I'm not trying to rush it but yeah let's not rush it let's not rush it we have things to do and also service I want to remind people that service is the highest expression of that love that you can be is service service service kindness service yeah absolutely if you're ever having a really bad day go serve somebody else uh huh uh huh exactly hey any last thing you want to share with our listeners what was shared with me before we came on is to listen

13:20 to your soul listen to the voice of the soul it knows the way and there's so many practices now that offer ways of connecting with the wisdom of your soul like for some people it might be what does that even mean right there's a lot of information now on the internet on podcasts such as this on youtube channels there's so much information now about accessing the voice of the soul yeah I think a lot of people are gonna hear that and say that sounds great I have no idea how to do that yeah look it up google it or get in touch with me yeah get in touch with me by the way police is at grounded illumination dot com yes did I get that right yes and there are easy practical concrete tips and tools to hear the wisdom of your soul it's it's it can be made very digestible and very pragmatic give me one then I'm gonna let you go okay so one way is is through the body listening and noticing where in your body you feel a yes and where in your body you feel a hell no and pay attention because your body is the vehicle through which the soul speaks to you and that that ties into intuition but is that helpful listen listen to listen to when you feel joyful and ease and excited where do you feel that in your body that's your yes and where you feel like heavy thud dense that's your no right and the voice of your soul is always connected with love

14:58 and it's always connected with your internal yes perfect police thank you so much for being with us today oh bye everyone thank you so much for tuning in and for accessing the remembering of our soul and that there's nothing to fear in transitioning there really isn't we're welcomed into immense immense love and there's no judgment there's no judgment coming towards you from the other side thanks for sticking around on this podcast we've tried to be hyper-nitched into near-death experiences but there are also a lot of related types of experiences that go along with them so the question I'd like to pose for everybody today is I watch your thoughts on do we want to keep the show just like it has been or do we want to expand a little bit into some other areas that may be related just to give you some examples irons in their most recent newsletter mentioned that when they incorporated the organization's main focus was near-death and similar experiences so the question is what are some of these similar experiences now today we talked a little bit about shared death experiences that's one let me read you a few of the others that irons has here ob e or out of body experiences telepathy after death communication past life memory precognition remote viewing
