The universal story I hear is of being "embraced by the light", as Betty Eadie put it.

And I had not considered the "Jesus" part of it so strongly, but you seem to have a point.

I remember a story of an English rock star, Robert Plant, who wrote a blues number called "In my time of dying", in which at one point he sings, "Oh my Jesus!" over and over. Years later, he was in a horrific car crash. He testified that as the vehicle tumbled down the embankment, the only thing in his mind were those words.
