What’s in Vital Signs Spring 2026?
In this season’s issue, Vital Signs Managing Editor Angela Harris takes us on an exploration of renewal after a near-death experience, and discusses the importance of support in the wake of an NDE. “Life after near-death is not a return: It is a revision”, Harris writes. “A story rewritten not in certainty, but in meeting one choice, one relationship, one moment of presence at a time.”
Also, grief guide and near-death experience educator Brian D. Smith invites readers through his wonderful prose to trust the quiet intelligence of their own becoming, to recognize the subtle signs of inner spring, and to allow renewal to emerge in its own time.
And be sure to read an editorial review of Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets by Vital Signs Editor-in-Chief Susan Amsden, who explores the highly engaging novel and invites you, as a fellow reader, to identify a rare mistake that conflicts with NDE research. If you spot it, please do contact us and let us know what you thought!
