From the Brink of Death: Amanda Wideman’s Journey Beyond the Crash
Amanda Wideman was moments from death—her car crushed and hanging precariously over a cliff’s edge. But what happened next has left doctors puzzled and skeptics questioning the boundaries of reality. Amanda didn’t just survive—she stepped into a realm so vivid and profound, it forever altered her understanding of life and what lies beyond.
In 2017, Amanda and her then-partner were driving home from a music festival in British Columbia. On a narrow mountain road, they swerved to avoid an oncoming car and collided, flipping their vehicle upside down against a concrete barrier, mere inches from a deadly fall.
“At that instant, I was certain I was dying,” Amanda recalled in a 2023 interview with The Other Side NDE. “I closed my eyes, let go of everything, and surrendered.”
Though Amanda believed the end had come, her 16-year-old girlfriend remained conscious, screaming after the crash. In that fragile moment, Amanda’s awareness slipped away from her body and into an extraordinary out-of-body experience.
A Journey Into the Beyond
Instead of darkness and fear, Amanda was enveloped by an endless blackness that felt safe and soft—a boundless, weightless space she described as a vast cave. “I had no body but still knew who I was. I was lighter than air, more awake than ever before.”
Soon, Amanda sensed a powerful presence—an overwhelming feeling of love and peace that she interprets as God. Surrounding her were countless other beings, a spiritual gathering beyond anything she had ever imagined.
When she came back to her physical self, Amanda found her partner had a concussion, while she herself had only mild whiplash.
But the crash had left a far deeper mark—her view of reality was forever changed.
“Life on Earth felt like a hazy dream compared to that other realm, which was dazzlingly clear,” she said. “It was like standing in the presence of every soul that has ever lived.”
A Life Reborn
Amanda’s near-death experience rewrote her life’s story. She left behind her career as a paramedic, sold her home, and ended her relationship. Today, she travels light, runs an online trauma coaching business, and dedicates herself to healing and spiritual growth.
“Material things no longer matter,” Amanda said. “I’m deeply connected to something greater and live every day with gratitude and purpose.”
In Closing
Amanda Wideman’s crash was more than a brush with death—it was a passage into a realm she believes reveals the true nature of existence. While some doubt near-death experiences, Amanda’s conviction is unwavering: what she saw was not a dream or hallucination, but a glimpse into eternity itself. For her, death was never the end—it was the beginning of a new, profound journey.
