We are also in the midst of planning the three-week trip to Croatia with her, her husband and two other couples that we were supposed to go on in 2020. I was hoping I would have had a plus one by now but I'm not too upset that I don't. I'm kind of used to being the odd person out so it doesn't really bother me anymore. I know I will have a great time regardless.
Maybe you will pick up some handsome Croatian guy while you're there?
NDEs are a fascinating topic. Once you start talking about it with people, it is surprising how many people have either had one, or had a dying relative who experienced "visitations" before they died. I'm not sure what awaits us on the other side of death, but I feel comforted that the experience of dying itself is apparently peaceful at the end, and I personally do believe that somehow we continue in some form. I remember many years ago, listening to a radio interview while driving in the car. The author had written a book about NDEs, and many of the people calling in had experienced their own NDE. He asked each of them the same question - how had it affected their life? And almost every single one replied, that they no longer feared dying.
