I have always been curious… like when a person dies and as the soul immediately leaves the temporal body…do you think whatever the person was suffering from and whatever unfulfilled desires the person had would vanish away as well?..

When a person dies they’re not going to be experiencing bodily and earthly sufferings any more because they’re no longer on earth in their body.

I have no idea what you mean by “unfulfilled desires”. If you mean earthly desires, like the person was hungry and wanting to go eat a hamburger and got hit by a car crossing the parking lot at McDonalds, obviously their desire to eat goes away upon death as it’s a bodily and earthly desire. They might still have a desire to go to Heaven and be with God, which is not a bodily and earthly desire.
 
Oh ok good answer. By earthly desires I mean just like lets say a person really really wanted to go to the prom but missed it bc she was sick, so thats always been her unfufilled desires something like that!
 
My mother had a NDE. When it happened I was far away. She said she saw the angel and he was guiding her to the light. But she had an overwhelming thought to see me. She came back and then I arrived at the hospital, she was like a different person, totally at peace.
 
Hopefully, the regret of not being able to go to the prom, as well as other earthly regrets, will pass with time before one dies, as one begins to realize all the things one has experienced in life.

I don’t think that a person is likely to suffer from “gosh, I wish I hadn’t died before I got the chance to go to the prom” regrets, but perhaps more “oh, wow, that’s all the time I had, huh? I wish I had done x, y, and z before I died” as they go into their review.
 
Dr Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon, had an out of body experience due to a brain disease which shut down his cerebral cortex. Being a scientist, his experience and testimony debunked the idea that the brain creates consciousness. Instead, consciousness exists and the brain serves as a check valve to help us function in this life.

Anyway, you can listen to him yourself…

Well, speaking as one who never got to the prom (other dances yes but missed out on prom, long story), I’m still mildly annoyed that I didn’t get to experience prom and if there’s prom in heaven you can bet I will be there with bells on.

Having said that, if the person is dying at a young age, then these things like prom, or the football team, etc are still front and center in their lives and msy not have had time to fade away into some minor past thing.
 
This is what I think:
Small desires like that I believe vanish away. What remains is their sins. The more sever that worse. Imagine somebody who has lived 50 years just grabbing money like a madman, cheating people in process, and all the other vices. He become so number, so hard hearted and now when he dies - no more physical, all that weighs him down. I f he had a little bit of light in him he might realize and repent, but is not he will be damned for sure! You know how angry people when they are angry and others trying to help them say “leave me alone!”.
Now he might get maybe in the presence of the Loving Lord, but His Love the sinner cannot bear, it’s too much for him for his soul is so damaged by the sins…
That’s what I think, something in those lines

Sorry but I did not follow that at all.
 
I knew the person that had and Neard death experience.She saw her body and doctors around her and she was walking trough the tunnel.There was light at the end of the tunnel.And She heard a voice:You need to go back beacuse the family needs you.And she was back.
I am sure this is True experience.
But did you ever hear about Muslim NDE?What are those kind of experience?

I do not believe NDE’s are real.

The soul does NOT temporarily leave the body. That would contradict Church doctrine.
The Church clearly teaches that the soul only leaves the body at death and that is permanent with regard to our earthly body.

God could certainly bilocate someone who is near death and show them whatever he wants to show them while leaving the soul in the body.

I’m not going to worry about it since it’s pretty clear many of these NDEs bear good fruit in terms of the person becoming much more calm, peaceful and holy.
 
There are thousands of stories about the near death experience. Most of them see their lives on earth and they realize they are not finished. It is like looking at a vessel that is not full. They feel drawn to come back so they return.
 
So for some people in here, that’s OK, but let a person have a NDE and it’ can’t be true because they weren’t shown the hell they were heading for. 😃
 
A lot of NDEs are contradict to Catholic Church.
I am cuorious what about muslims who had NDEs
