A Johns Hopkins ICU nurse with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology shares her profound near-death experience after a sudden cardiac arrest on December 15, 2008. Deborah King takes us from her early days saving lives at Hopkins — including a miraculous resuscitation she fought to complete — to the moment she found herself outside her own body, experiencing colors that don’t exist on Earth, hearing deep harmonic vibrations, and feeling completely limitless. She returns transformed, on a mission to help children and healthcare professionals understand that the soul is immortal, light is indestructible, and love without expectation is our highest purpose.
“The soul is immortal and intact. Your light is yours and nobody can take it from you.” – Deborah King

This woman was born to be a nurse. She has the most calming, comforting voice!
Deads is the end ..is nothing after ….if u believe this lady she definitely clown 🤡..who comercial Her lies.
It feels so comfortable listening to her
I don't think you died.And I think it was just a dream on the edge of consciousness.
Nonsense. Enjoy your fifteen minute.
She has such a lovely voice
💖
Love this.
What makes this story truly special is that she is a healthcare worker who understands the human body deeply, yet she was also exposed to the spiritual side — and chose to share that experience with the world. Thank you for doing that.
Thanks dear soul friend for sharing your story 💖🙏
I believe this lady and actually shedded tears from her conformation of somethings I thought. Glad the ICU patient told her to share her story as if he knew
I get very skeptical of stuff like this when it is posted on YT.Why do they need to talk about it in public? This is personal, & not to be shared in my opinion.
Your video is amazing. Thank you for sharing it has open my eyes. I believe in God and the afterlife. My daring husband died in December 2009, it was such a shock he was extremely ill in intensive care, I had talked with his consultant who explained that he was doing better than expected so I felt I could leave him for an hour and go home freshen up for my afternoon visit however as I went through my front door my phone started ringing it was the hospital He had died. I turned around and drove the 30miles back to be with him. As a couple we believed in God and the afterlife but that call rocked my world. Listening to your and other videos have helped me so very much even after 17years these stories they are a comfort to me I will show my son your video as he is still struggling after losing his little four day old daughter-then his dad even after 17 years he struggles I feel this video will help him thank you so very much.
so beautiful ❤❤❤🙏
Guys I've watched multiple NDE stories. They are all similar and so reassuring and beautiful. One thing they all have in common is no mention of religion. I'm not saying that to taunt, I'm saying that to bring attention to the fact. It's not about religion guys. We are pieces of something bigger that is experiencing life through this human experience. We are smaller portions of Source and so therefore we are Source/Creator/God/Creator. That is so amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this… ❤
Does one retain ones hearing and deep brain thought before the brain dies?
If the brain is dead then can one survive?
Is the reading the prelude prior to the excitement?
Do you have a belief in God?
Who's watching near death experiences with the supernatural in 2026 ?
I'm watching a video
I’m just wondering how this woman can tell us so much about the spirit world without even looking into what the Bible has been saying for thousands of years.
She may have been allowed to see a little glimpse of what is to come, but the truth is, until we reach the end, we will never know the whole truth.
The Lord Jesus died and resurrected, and I would rather believe in His testimony and put my full faith in Him, because His testimony has witnesses. This woman is sharing her experience based on what she personally saw, but there is no other witness who can testify that everything she experienced is truly what she believes it to be.
I’m not saying her experience isn’t real. But I wouldn’t take her claims as the foundation of my faith or use them to convince myself that we are all going to become nothing but light and have a happily-ever-after ending, especially when the reality of justice and the sinfulness of this world tell us otherwise.
I believe in the testimony of Jesus, where justice will ultimately be given. The Bible speaks of eternal punishment for those who reject God and continue in wickedness, and of the everlasting fire prepared for the devil, who does nothing but lie, deceive, and destroy lives.
My prayer is that this woman will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, if she hasn’t already, and truly search her heart to understand why the Lord gave her another opportunity to live. May that experience lead her not merely to speak about the spirit world, but to seek the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 🙏✝️
Jesus is never mentioned in this interview. God is mentioned once or twice. Deb isn’t a Christian. It seems as though this is a new age type of experience for her. Jesus is left out of this interview.
You don't really die is the lie from Eden, ye shall not surely die. The Bible is clear about death:
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
King James Version
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
AND
1Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
❤
Praying that my son is in the hands of the Lord.
Очень утешил и вдохновил Ваш рассказ! 🙏💕спасибо, всего доброго Вам желаю🎉!
I lost my Mum 3 months ago 💔 I pray God to bless her and receive her in His kingdom🙏
My Bible tells me the dead know nothing
Buddhists and Hindus get it right. When we die, our energy goes to replenish other life. Since everything is in a state of constant change, there can be no eternal states.
Profoundly spoken.
GOD IS LOVE ❤
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL THIS WOMAN IS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The spirit lives on and the body never returns permanently, just read the word of God. Jesus made it final (not near) on the cross. He's the only one who has bragging rights 🙏🙏😇😇
I just had this thought about how I’m feeling right now, how I feel there is something missing, I’m not whole, love is missing everywhere in this world… and the love and wholeness I need with all the cell of my body is actually the feeling I would be feeling from where home is… it made me think that all souls are sick because they know this place is not home and we want to feel the feeling of being there once again… even people who take their lives, they are very sensitive and have the instinct to know the world is way too worse than the heavenly place we are from…
After watching this video, I came to realized that shouldn't fear death.
I'm in a real situation right now where I am in a limbo because of my present health condition. Uncertainty always struck me. And yet this video gives me a sense of peace and deeper understanding how life should be.
Thank you Debbie for sharing your beautiful story. You came to life because your mission is not yet done. And that is to touch many people's lives through your journey in heaven.
People go for regression therapy for primarily experiences That directly involved them but she should and others should also to see if there was More to those feelings,,, feelings so different you remember it always
Is this what the 100 billion land animals we slaughter every year get to experience when their throats are slit? I just can't make sense of the scale and senseless of their suffering, it's hell on earth. Can only bear to be here praying their brief time on this earth is not all there is
This man is a MANIAC 😮
Incredible story!
You are so sweet. Thanks for sharing. I just wonder how the hellish NDE come forth.
I enjoyed no ads interrupting. Thank you so much 👍
