EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

Oct 9. Friday . It was already 10 pm when I started experiencing my asthma attack. I thought it was one of my attacks that could be prevented with self medications so when my husband ask me if I am okay I said yes. It was in the dawn of Oct. 10 when I started to feel a lot different from the usual attacks. I can no longer breath so I tried to wake my husband and ask for his help. When he saw me He said that he was going to take me to the hospital and I said yes. During the trip to the hospital I'm starting to lose my consciousness because the trip seem to take only seconds. When  we arrive at the hospital the only thing I can remember is that I  walk few steps and then collapse. All I can recall at that moment was that I was lying in an empty space, everything seems to be dark except the constant flashes of a tiny white light that connects each other. Every flash connects to the next light as it goes to the next light I saw an experience. A past experience. I know at that moment that I am going to die. its really a strange feelings because we always fear death but when you experience it, there is this feeling of compete surrender, a kind of peace that you forget the people who will be left sad when you are gone. Before I woke up or become conscious again the flashes of light stops then I saw a man standing waiting and say " do you want to go back? And I said I am tired of breathing. He wave his hand and I saw  a lighted candle and start hearing my husband voice at my side and the voices of nurses and doctors who were attending me at that moment. God gave me another life.
