Gloria S NDE

Experience Description

I was told I had flown through the windshield of our truck, I had been driving, and it rolled. I was told I had my head buried in the sand, and I was not breathing. I remember none of this. I saw myself floating over my body, looking down at myself and my three children were leaning over my head area. I was lying face up. I can tell you what I was wearing and what they were wearing. There was no pain, I felt as though I were floating. No other memories, just what I have been told. Then waking up in excruciating pain in a medical center, which is all I can remember.
