Julie D NDE

Experience Description

I was being strangled by my ex-husband. I tried to fight him off, but I eventually gave up and just went with it. I remember standing next to a male being who wore a grey cloak with a hood. He stood to my left. I felt my whole life up until that moment. I was engulfed with overwhelming sadness because my life had been empty. I didn't want to cry. I got the feeling or thought I had to resume living because I hadn't done or learned what I had come here for. At no time during this experience was I aware of my earthly body. I could not see it. I had no thought or feeling to what was or had happened.

I woke up on the back of the sofa. I lay with my eyes closed for a few seconds; my partner had just released his grip. I felt solid, strong, but very weak. The attack carried on for some time although no more attempts were made on my life.
