Beyond Dying

Dr. Pahnke: What else happened during the day?
Mrs. Proctor: I died.
Dr. Pahnke: What was that like?
Mrs. Proctor: Beautiful. It sounds vindictive, but it was beautiful. (chuckles)
Dr. Pahnke: How can that be?
Mrs. Proctor: I don't know. I felt like I was dying... I don't know how I came back.
                     I don't remember that. I think i called for you - did I?
Dr. Pahnke: What does it fee like to die?
Mrs. Proctor: You're just like the thin air, that's it. You have no pain. No fear.
Dr. Pahnke: Did that scare you?
Mrs. Proctor: No. No fear at all. Very relaxed. If it's unusual maybe it's me.
                     I don't know. Is it?
Dr. Pahnke: What?
Mrs. Proctor: Unusual to feel that way?
Dr. Pahnke: That it's releaxed to die? Other people have said the same.
