Romina D NDE

Experience Description

After my motorcycle accident, I suffered a severe head trauma, brain swelling, and multiple hemorrhages. I was in the ICU, in a coma, 12 weeks pregnant, and also dealing with several infections.

During that state, I remember feeling immense tiredness, like when you can no longer keep your eyes open. I thought: “If I close my eyes and never wake up, I will never get to meet my son.” That was the reason that pushed me to keep living.

I also had a very clear experience:

I saw myself sitting on a high terrace, in front of a small wooden door. From it came a very bright white light, with violet tones, that did not dazzle. Then a figure dressed in white appeared, similar to Jesus. He came closer, placed one hand on my forehead and another on my belly, transmitting a light to me. When that light reached my baby, we both became illuminated in the same way. Afterwards, the figure moved away and disappeared.

Since I woke up from the coma, I have felt a deep peace and a sense of being blessed. I never experienced it from pain, but from gratitude. I feel that it changed my way of seeing life, of valuing it and appreciating it every day.

And also, I want to tell you that my son was born without any aftereffects. Today he is 18 years old.
