Marilyn Y NDE

Experience Description

I think I already said everything. I passed out and emergency medical technicians carried me down from the second floor of my house. During that time, I saw a glorious golden light with a group of people standing there of all shapes and heights. I cannot remember faces but I felt happy and content. The emergency medical technicians were telling me to not tighten my arms so tight but I was unaware at the time. I can remember none of that. The emergency medical technicians put me on the gurney and shook me to wake up. At first, I didn't know where I was, but I felt sadness at waking up. Whenever I try to tell anyone, it's like disbelief to them, but inside, I know what I saw. That is why I'm trying to tell you. Maybe you will believe me. I even drew a picture to remind me. I can't forget what I saw.
