Sandy M Probable NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I was admitted to the hospital hemorrhaging after a miscarriage. I had passed a lot of blood. The nurses in the ER slanted the gurney to have my head toward the floor and my legs in the air since I had lost so much blood. The nurse was marking off on my arm where I was warm and cold. They said they were going to rush me into surgery as soon as the doctor arrived whom they had already called. They told me they would have to perform a D&C and would put me out. In the Recovery Room I was speaking to a being that I had the understanding was the Lord Jesus Christ but he didn't say he was but I just "knew" who he was because of the comfort and peace I was in. I was conversing with the "Lord" and I said what I thought was out loud, "thank you for being with me during this" and I just had such a warm and cozy feeling, really calm and at peace. I then realized that I was awakening and I saw a nurse in the room and I said was I just talking and she said no. And I said you didn't hear me talking and she said no you weren't talking.

Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect, such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)?  Yes     It felt like I was in knowledge but as far as what I could actually "see" I don't remember what I could "see" it was more of a feeling of comfort and knowledge.

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?     Yes

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            I felt such a calm and peace and totally comforted (although I was sad about losing the baby) like my body wasn't really feeling - It was such an awareness of me feeling like one with the being that I was with - very connected and I knew that I was me and that I was with the Lord or Spirit of the Lord.

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          No      

Did you see a light?           Uncertain      I am uncertain about the color during my conversation

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     No      

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     I was scared to tell anyone at first then I questioned why it happened to me and thought maybe I was supposed to tell so I told within a couple of weeks. People looked at me like I was crazy. I still tell people about my experience every chance I get and they look at me like they wonder about me but I don't care I have decided to tell because I think there are others like me who have had an experience and I'm not crazy. I also want people to know that God is true to his word and he is (or his spirit or Jesus) is with us when we need him most. (I really felt that it was not God the Father but instead either Jesus or the Holy Spirit and it was just the feeling - I don't recall the "being" tell me its name it was just a "feeling" very hard to explain but I knew in my heart or head exactly who it was (if that makes any sense).

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    Yes     I had the experience after surgery when I was in the recovery room after I was in the hospital after hemorrhaging really bad at home for hours and then going to the hospital in shock and after losing a lot of blood.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    I felt it was 100% real and when I talk about it even now I just feel I want to share it. I wish I had written it down!

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            The most meaningful part was that the Lord comforted me and put me at peace totally at a time that was really awful. My family thought they were going to lose me and the baby. I knew that the baby was gone and I really was at peace about the whole ordeal since I had the experience with the Lord and it was like I had this special conversation which let me know that the Lord was in control.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real            Same as #40

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Yes     I realized that I had a special experience and that people are very special to the Lord and that he really cares for us as individuals. I wanted to be the best parent I could be for the child that I already had. I raised my children to know the Lord and to know that we would be with the Lord after life on earth!

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?            Yes     The experience made me certain that the Lord is real which to me would mean that the bible is real and the way to live is how the Lord wants us to. I can't say that I always live what I have learned though! But I do KNOW that the Lord is REAL because of this experience.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No      

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        I am so glad to share my experience!
