Sonia M Possible NDEs

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

At the time of my first NDE my boyfriend and I had broken up and I was severely depressed (but not so much so that I was suicidal) but extremely distraught.

I remember the first time it happened. I was in bed and could not sleep and kept staring out my bedroom window staring at the stars. I head a slow roar, almost sounded like a distant train coming closer and closer. before I knew it I could see a glorious light and long dark grey tunnel at the foot of my bed. it had the most wonderful glow. from this light I could feel nothing but peace and love emitting from it. the light was so intense and I remember thinking to myself, why doesn't the light hurt my eyes because I have such sensitivity to light. any way, I was looking intently at this light when I saw an image slowly appearing from this light. I watched this image take shape and as it did it was moving towards me in a sort of gliding smooth motion. I could hear this GRAND VOICE that seemed to echo through my head and reverberate through my body as the person took form in someone I knew..my sister in law. but I could here a man's voice speaking to me through her, and as she placed her right hand on my left shoulder, she said ALL WILL BE OK. AND I ASKED HER, WHY CAN'T I JUST GO NOW. AND WITHOUT MOVING HER LIPS SHE COMMUNICATED IT'S NOT TIME. YOU WILL BE OK. IT'S NOT TIME. AND I BEGGED AND PLEADED...WHILE ALL THIS TIME I WAS SOBBING BECAUSE THE LOVE I FELT WAS SO IMMENSE I THOUGHT I'D BURST. SLOWLY THE IMAGE WENT BACK INTO THE LIGHT AND WHEN I WOKE UP IT WAS MORNING. I was very confused about this. I didn't talk to anyone about this.

I chalked it up to a dream and a few weeks later it happened again. the day it happened again I was in my room alone and it was just before dusk. I was still pretty heart broken and really not doing anything but sitting in my room as I had for the past few weeks. I sat on the edge of my bed crying with sobs that were unknown to me. I was truly grieving over my break up. I missed my boyfriend so much and was so sad. I was actually in physical pain and truly prayed to die that night. I prayed for what seemed hours. I was so tired of questioning my life, my purpose and asking GOD himself, why AM I HERE? WHAT PURPOSE DO I HAVE? I asked this over and over. still sobbing with so much pain in my heart. then it happened, I heard a distant roar..slowly the roar became louder and louder like I was directly over a train. then suddenly as if I was sucked into a vacuum, I was transported to my boyfriends condo. I was at the base of the stairs and a thunderous voice spoke to me and said SEE. and I understood....it was not a "questioning ...see?" but more like ...see? this is what will happen if you die. in one swift movement I was taken to the top of the stairs and I could see by boyfriends son's running past me and yelling and calling out loud to each other. and I heard one of his son's yell out CALL 911, DAAADD WHAT'S WRONG? DAD! the voice again said to me, SEE. is this really what you want? and I said no. I felt myself being sucked into the vacuum again and I woke up.
