Experience Description

I do not remember getting hit or two weeks before the experience. I could tell my brother all about the lady. I can tell details such as what the lady looked like, how she had her hair, and the look on her face as if I were standing in front of her car and looking at her shocked face. After I died 4 times in the care flight. I died once at the hospital, then came back to life, while on life support.

I was a depressed teen in 1996. I saved up my prescription drugs for two months. I cleaned my room, and then took a bottle of pills. As an afterthought, I felt I should go tell my mom. I did not tell her because she had cancer and I did not want to get into trouble.

The next thing I knew, I was in the top of the room of my bedroom. There was an angel on either side of me and they were holding me up. I felt AMAZING! I wanted to stay but I felt God was telling me it was not my time to stay stay there. Then I knew that my mom was crying while dragging me to the bathtub. I threatened her so she would not take me to the hospital. I still wanted to go back there. I scared her so bad with my threat, that she did not call 911. She told my brother to take me out of the tub and not let me fall asleep.

I have since then seen life very differently. Life IS eternal.
