Grace C's NDE

I had been rushed to the hospital early one morning hemorrhaging very badly.  My mom did not know what to do to stop it, so phoned an ambulance to take me to the hospital.  When I arrived there, I was taken in almost immediately and some doctors worked on me to get the bleeding to stop.  Some where I was floating out of my body because I could see both my parents in a waiting room, and my mom was crying.  The next thing that I saw was a tunnel with a bright light which I was being pulled into.  I was not afraid because it was all so very peaceful.  After a while I was stopped by a grand-mother that had passed on just about the time that I had this experience.  She was a grand-mother that I did not like as she was always very mean to me.  She was waiting for my and said that I must go back as I had a lot of things yet not done by me.  The next thing I remember was seeing the doctors still working on me and then I was back into my body.  One of the doctors some time later had asked if I had seen anything, and when I said that I had, he came to my bed after and asked a lot of questions.
