This is a subject about which we can only speak in metaphors. It is another kind of reality, beyond words.
It is easy to dismiss such experiences as you have had and shared with your family because the rational mind works overtime to normalise everything. By normalise I also mean contextualise. Our little minds work very hard to make the extraordinary, ordinary. Such experiences though leave an indelible imprint on the individual.

I think this is a nice metaphor.

“To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes, is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird…if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased…”
