Alice NDE

Experience Description

During the brain surgery that lasted 8 hours, my daughter Alice (I am her mother as Alice unfortunately is no longer with us) claims that she entered into a marvelous light that emitted warmth and a sense of peace. She then saw Jesus sitting against an immense tree; He had a beautiful face 'like no other you see on earth', she (Alice) said. During this experience, Jesus touched her hand and Alice thought, 'I will die because He is taking me with Him'. Instead, the surgery went well, and Alice told me about this experience a year and a half after her surgery.
