The Near-Death Story of Mellen-Thomas Benedict

In 1982,1 died from terminal cancer. My condition was non-operable. I chose not to have
chemotherapy. I was given six to eight months to live. Before this time, I had become
increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. I came to
believe that nature had made a mistake-that we were probably a cancerous organism on the
planet. And that is what eventually killed me.

Before my near-death experience, I tried all sort of alternative healing methods. None helped.
So I determined that this was between me and God. I had never really considered God.
Neither was I into any kind of spirituality and alternative healing. I read various religions and
philosophies. They gave hope that there was something on the other side.

I had no medical insurance, so my life savings went overnight on tests. Unwilling to drag my
family into this, I determined to handle this myself. I ended up in hospice care and was
blessed with an angel for my hospice caretaker, whom I will call "Anne." She stayed with me
through all that was to follow.
