Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? Questionnaire is the best under the circumstances. Only other suggestion is to let the NDEers know that those who have not had an NDE wish (even greatly wish) to understand with the best words possible the wonderful or even fearful aspects of NDEs. One of the reasons they happen and are remembered is for the benefit and uplifting or possibly warning of those living who have not had one.
