Francis M's NDE

Experience description: 

After running into the electricity pylon, I only remember the black existing around my body. I don’t think I was aware of what was happening but I remember the extraordinary feeling of well-being.  I did not feel any pain anymore. Nothing existed anymore, there was only my spirit and the voices surrounding me were the firemen’s voices who arrived a little after to take me to the hospital.  It is at that time that I saw my body from above. The electroencephalogram was flat.

I was impressed by the words used by the firemen "he is fainting, we are loosing him ", whereas it seems not to me, I was there but I was unable to say anything, as if I was dead and at this moment I felt some fear….  Then, I felt a heat, so soft, invading my body. I turned back and I saw one person who held my hand and who told me, without moving its lips "Come, don’t be afraid. I am here to help you and to go with you before you recover your place on this earth. It is not yet the time for you; you still have so much things to do”.

When I awoke, I was lying on a bed, in a hospital, with a perfusion of morphine because, in this accident, I had not been only dead for a while, but I also lost the use of my left arm, which will remain forever paralysed. On waking, I learned that I had been into a coma for three months and that family had ordered a tombstone in the small cemetery of the city (I reassure you, since that time, it has been taken out). What I keep from this experience is only one small part of my life that I keep without talking about, in a corner of my memory.
