Miguel NDE

Like I said above, I can't remember all the details, but I'll try to do my best.

I am a member of a family of ten. My older sister and I have always been real close to each other. We used to play very rough. One time, we were a little carried away during our games. She grabbed me from the neck and started to choke me until I passed out.

All of a sudden, I started to fall into a deep dark hole. I remember the wind blowing all over my body. As I went through, I saw a whirlpool of light, with a bright light at the end. Somehow, I knew if I go through the light, I won’t be able to return. I started to think about my brother, because at that time we shared the same bed, and he would be alone at night time. But the light still attracted me.

At this point, I heard my sister calling me, and I got into a bright white light and I felt a presence of somebody. I didn't see anyone, but I felt He was around me, full of love and joy, and I wanted to stay, but it wasn't my time yet, so I was sent back to my family.

I remember in the following days I felt a great sadness inside me. I still miss the place where I've been. I know that when my time comes, I'm going back.
