Experience description: 

I heard the sound of the impact, like an explosion, my daughter was in the passenger seat, my granddaughter was in her car seat behind me, all of a sudden I was in this bright light, the feeling of complete inner peace we seek for so much in this life, was within me, I had no fears or wish to return.  Then I was told, the baby must not die.  I still refused to return, and again I was told , the baby must not die.  All of sudden I was back in the drivers seat in my car.  It took me quite a while to be able to speak about this experience.  Eventually I did with my family and only one of my therapists that is helping me now from the last accident in 96, which I haven't recovered. I am a chronic pain patient, but when I want peace I bring myself  back into the light.
