Malina B NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

First I have to explain I'm a type 1 diabetic. I was going to go out to dinner with my parents and took an insulin injection to counter act the food I was going to eat.  My father got off work late so we didn't go to dinner as soon as I thought we would.  I was at my parents sitting on the couch when they said I begin acting funny almost drink which is an indication of diabetic hypoglycemia.  I remember standing up telling my parents I wasn't feeling well and then collapsing to the floor.  When I first fell to the floor I was still conscious.  I remember laying there looking at the carpet but my eyes weren't blinking.  I remember in an echo type noise my parents shaking me and my Dad calling and talking to a 911 operator. 

I remember I began to have seizures then I was gone.  Everything was very dark but in the center there was a very bright light.  In the center of the light my Niece was dancing around very happily.  It was a good feeling and my niece looked very pleased and happy.  She looked like she was far away and I remember I felt like I was smiling at how well she was dancing. She was also singing.  I felt very emotional and begin to cry.  Next thing I remember I was waking up to a room full of EMT's and firefighters.  They had an IV in me and were giving me sugar water.  Later on I talked to my parents and they said my eyes never closed and I had tears streaming down my face. The experience felt very real and as if I was passing away or being prepared to leave my body.
