Vanessa H Probable NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

When they took me to the hospital in the ambulance, I didn't think I would make it out the house. On the way to the hospital, I was in and out of consciousness. I don't remember the ride. When they  transferred me to the ICU, they put me on the ventilator and I was very heavily sedated. During the course of this they found out that I had double pneumonia and also I was suffering from a staff infection.

When this presence came to me in my sleep, it took me on a journey that I will never forget. I started to feel very peaceful.  Then I was gliding through this light it was so heavenly and the most beautiful thing I ever saw in my life. The brightness of it you can't explain. It didn't hurt it wasn't so bright that you couldn't look at it. I wanted to  stay because at that point a had no pain like most of the time in my life that I do. Then as the presence took me further in that's when a voice came out of this light and said take her back she is not ready to go yet meaning (Die). I wish I could make out who this voice was coming from, only to say that maybe it was my mother or maybe I heard the lord himself, I only know that it was a life changing experience for me and something I'll never forget. I only know now what other people are talking about when they themselves talk about the light.
