Frank P NDE 4272

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I was on the table in the emergency room and I asked the doctors if they were giving me anesthesia. They said no but to try to stay awake. I suddenly fell back and was fully surrounded by a energy of a white light. I have NEVER seen this color white here on earth. It did not hurt my eyes to see it. I felt relaxed with no thoughts of my family or my past. I somehow knew I was in the place I have seen others talk about. I do not know how I knew this. I then had a male voice say to me "Frank, do you want to go with me or go back" With out hesitation I said "go back". As soon as I said back, I felt the shock of the paddles come in on my right chest and cross to the left. With this I popped up into a sitting position. The doctor asked if I was ok, I said yes. I then do not remember anything else till 24 hours later when I awoke in the icu. It took 2 days to remove ventilator. As soon as I could speak, I told my wife and daughter what had happened. I was afraid to sleep after this. I felt as though I would go again and not comeback.  I talked to a priest in the hospital about it and my wife. I soon realized the was no reason to worry. I realized it did not hurt to die, and when we do, we go a place that I was given privilege to see that is wonderful.
