Jean K's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            I was at a local state park lake with Douglas, my 4 year old son and a girl friend of mine.  I was walking back to our blanket and felt like I was gliding down to it - maybe passing out. Then my mind was blank. Then I remembered a man carrying me up to the Medical building, then going blank again. I felt being laid down on a hard bed and someone's voice asking if I was with anyone.  I guess my son had followed me and told them my friend was with me.  Then I went blank again but I heard everyone talking.  Mentally I was trying to talk to them to say I was okay but, I couldn't talk there was no voice. I felt as if the air/sky around me was a beautiful, light blue and so very clear, no clouds.  I then heard someone say;" I can't feel her pulse and there is no heart beat." And, then I heard a girls voice say the same thing. During this time I was trying to tell them that I was really okay but, yet I wasn't in the same level as they were.  I felt my body move up to a sitting position and saw a beautiful light or brightness in the sky and I felt so good and safe.  Then next thing I remember was being in an ambulance and the medics trying to give me oxygen, then it seemed like a few minutes later I was awake.  Years later in life I had taken a course "Death and Dying" for college, it was taught by Sister M.  I told her about my experience and her knowing Elizabeth Kubler Ross had me write down what had happen.  Elizabeth confirmed that I had a near death experience.
