Kathy A Probable NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            I was 41 and had my 3rd child.  After the baby was born I was diagnosed with an arterial vainus malformation in my brain.  I had to go through 3 separate embolizations and after that I was to have brain surgery.  I really didn't think about the actual surgery, I just knew I wanted this thing out of my head. 

When I awoke from the surgery I began telling my mother that I had been on a path made of light that was what appeared to be a night sky with stars all around.  The path zigzag and at the end of the path I could see a very bright light.  I remember just standing in the path and a small girl who was like bright light was standing next to me and also a very tall man dressed in a green suit.  In front of me were three beings dressed in black robes that had emeralds around their hoods.  I could not see their faces and I was not afraid.  I felt very calm and peaceful.  They spoke to me with their minds and told me that it was not my time yet.  That I had to go back and love Him.  I did not understand what that meant.  When I described the little girl in the bright light my mothers face just went white.  She later told me that I had described my grandmother when she was about 12 years old.  That white light remained very close to me even after I woke up.  I kept pointing to her and telling my family that she was right next to me protecting me. 

After I got home from hospital I continued to see other dead relatives in my home and was very tuned into other peoples feelings.  It was not until I had to go to therapy during my recovery that my therapist, who is Jewish, helped me realized the three beings were the Trinity and that I had to go back and love Him, was God.  From that love, love just flowed out of me.  It took me 2 1/2 years to recover from brain surgery and the whole time I was very close to God.  Since I have been back to work, I don't have that love and peacefulness that I once had and I desperately want those feelings back!
