Your experience reminds me of the one Denise Linn relates in one of her books. Whereas the one that Anita Moorjani had, her existence in the next life was not of having a body or seeing anyone in a body, but of being pure energy and thought only. I know she's said her experience may have been molded by not having a religious preference or conviction in life, so her perception of death wasn't molded a certain way. Yet, even as I'm in a similar boat, I still don't know what to expect in my own transition. I'm sure I'll be happy with it, whatever the outcome 
Most people that have NDEs also can't put into words what the feelings are like. Unconditional Love has to be experienced to be known. I suppose if telepathy were common, then the rest of us would understand better.
The "pop" part is also common to people having OBEs for the first time or the first few times. It seems to go away after you have them more often and you just learn the vibrational feel to the beginning of an OBE. My thinking is that the "pop" is an uncontrolled release of the spirit from the body, and why those that have out of body experiences are able to control the release as they learn the best techniques. Makes me wonder if someone experienced in OBEs would get that pop in an NDE...
The "fears" I have toward death isn't the death itself, but of first, not wanting to leave right now, and second, any suffering I'll have to go through leading up to death. Sure, death is a release of pain, yet you still have to suffer that pain before death, and why I don't look forward to the end of my life, even if I'd been fortunate enough to have an NDE
However, the experience of an NDE would probably suppress pain and suffering more due to knowing what that existence will be in the next life. Or, you may find that you're healthier now and won't have to go through such suffering at the end of your life. Your body will simply "stop" and you'll be Out There again
