There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Submitted by mendedheart on Sat, 10/03/2009 - 7:24pm.

I experienced CA - was in the hospital sitting up in bed when my face got hot & I was feeling icky. I pushed the button for a nurse & that was all I knew for awhile.

I hovered over my body, saw my self lying on table with white sheets. Saw the doctor & nurses came running when Code Blue was called out. They worked the paddles & doctor starting to intubate  when nurse called  the words, flat line, she's gone - call the time.

I went  threw like a tunnel very fast with a whoosh sound & became in front of the most brillent white light. I knew two things. One, time was very swiftly there &  second, communication was by thought form.

A question by thought came to me, would you like to stay or go back? I had to make a split decision. I heard my own voice say out loud, I don't want to die yet for I want to see my two granddaughters grow up.

Where ever I was on the other side  it was so calm, floating, peaceful lovey feeling that words can not explain.

The doctor said I came back at that point. I would never be afraid to die for its a wonderful feeling there.

I can close my eyes after eight years & go directly to that brillant white light & experience a warm feeling.

It was a life changing event that no words can explain.

I feel my experience & stay in hospital was like a written script & I just played the part.

There is more to my story the whole ordeal was planned in every way.

I am enjoying my two granddaughters & my great granddaughter, Sarah. That is another story...
