The near-death experience as status passage

Shared near-death and related illness experiences: Steps on an unscheduled journey.

“…First, these steps are similar to those required of NDErs themselves (Kellehear, 1990). However, as the case material in this paper demonstrates, we need to recognize that occasionally NDErs and near death visionaries take temporary "passengers" or companions on part of their journey.…”

Exploring the integration of near-death experience aftereffects: Summary of findings.

“…Linda Morris and Kathleen Knafl (2003) found similar effects among nurses in critical care units: Nurses who encountered patients who reported NDEs or who had an anomalous experience themselves reported feeling more compassion and understanding, were more comfortable talking about death, and felt a closer relationship with God. Allan Kellehear's (1990) findings supported this effect, but from a different viewpoint. He believed that the NDE is a social status rite of passage with the possibility to create social change in those who hear and learn about the NDE.…”

Neurochemical models of near-death experiences: A large-scale study based on the semantic similarity of written reports

“…This suggestion is supported by the evidence that dissociative NDEs at the time of trauma may provide some therapeutic benefit in reducing the risk of full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder (Greyson, 2001). NDEs are known to produce long-lasting effects, some of which are deemed positive by the experiencers, such as changes in their personal understanding of life, self, and personal relations, modifications in their social customs as well as in their religious or spiritual beliefs and their interest in material possessions and social status (Bianco, Sambin, & Palmieri, 2017;Dougherty, 1990;Greyson, 2006;Kellehear, 1990;Parnia, Spearpoint, & Fenwick, 2007;Royse & Badger, 2017). Increased psychological well-being and self-worth have been linked to NDEs (Noyes, 1980).…”
