Experience Description


I lay down in my bed, I was very sad, I ate little and slept little. Several months earlier, my husband had left the house and I thought that I didn't have anything to live for on Earth. My children could live with their father and his new spouse. There was nothing to keep me here. I had decided to leave this life without remorse, without looking back. I didn't ingest, drink, or take any medicine. Only the will to leave guided me.


I closed my eyes, I was in the blackness as in a train, then suddenly as if the train had gotten in movement, I crossed rays of light, more and more accelerated. Then I am myself. I tried to raise my small finger, nothing happened. It was a stage of consciousness. I chose to continue. The train vanished. In the decor, there was soft light. I floated, like an immense sea; I felt water, the sand, the sun, as if I was on the side of a beach. Just the sensations, heat, humidity, light, very pleasant.


There was my cousin, my relatives and full of other deceased people. They told me, you are where you wished, we waited for you. It was gorgeously good. Then far away, I heard a voice very far away. I didn't want to hear it, I wanted to ignore it, but it persisted. I recognized my son's voice, first like a buzz then it got clearer, and then finally he repeated. 'Mom don’t die, you know you want to live, you know you like life,' he said repeatedly to me.


I thought 'no' in my head; let me be where I am. Then as if I had not accomplished everything before leaving, as if I had forgotten a precious baggage before taking the plane, I made the decision to come back.


My son had wakened up in middle of the night, he entered into my room, he thought that I slept and he told me these words.


After being back in my body, I heard what people thought and I felt their suffering that hurt me everywhere. I was not afraid of anything, nor of anyone. There was not any more limit to anything, to what I could accomplish; my son began to drag me, to come back in my body little by little.


I worked out of the home and my son watched over me; he had saved my life. Then a friend entered in my life that gave me back my taste for life, a soul sister. Since then, I have developed quite a lot of intuition, I live life and I pay attention to my body as if I was going to live to be very old. Several people told to me that I changed a lot for better. That is my history.
