Angelia D Probable NDE

Experience Description

I passed out at home Friday night, the ambulance came and took me to the hospital around 11 pm. I have no memory of anything between approximately 10:45 pm and 3:30ish the next morning.

The actual experience:

I was just suddenly in front of several people, none that I recognized at first. There was no background or foreground. we were just together. Then, my husband (deceased for two years and two and a half months) spoke to me and said only three sentences but he said them to me repeatedly in his patient tone (he always knew how to talk to me):

I am here.

It's not time my little white teddy bear.

Where there is love.

Others were around that seemed familiar but none were as familiar to me as my husband. The others would sometimes echo what he said but never in the same order.

My husband stopped speaking then they all stopped. At this time, something really strange occurred. I saw a movement from the bottom of my vision and as I looked down, my husband was slowly moving his hand away from inside my body. At this time, a noticeable heart beat started and it was as if I hadn't even noticed it wasn't beating beforehand. I looked up at him, startled, and his smile became even broader. As always, I felt comforted and safe just being in his presence and the experience was over.

I woke up distressed, yet exhilarated from seeing my husband again, angry that I didn't say anything in return, and relieved that I received this message at this time in my life.

I arrived home several hours later (I was severely dehydrated and was discharged after receiving three bags of normal saline). When I arrived home, I located my cell phone but the battery had died. When it came back up, I checked the phone for missed calls or text messages. The 'notes' application was open (which I don't use too often) and the following was typed onto the page:

io sono qui

non 'e il temp piccolo orsetto bianco

dove c''e amore

This was also sent to my boyfriend in a text message ...at 12:12 am. I wasn't even HOME at this time and my phone was NOT in my possession. In addition, there was note in the kitchen where this was roughly written also.

Additional info:

The nicknames my husband and I had for each other was big brown teddy bear and little white teddy bear (we were an interracial couple; he was a larger black man and I was an average sized white woman). Whenever we had issues come up between us, he could always calm me and bring me comfort by saying ‘Where there is love,’ and then he'd finish by relating to the subject we were discussing.

My husband spoke some Spanish and he knew I was, at one time, learning Italian but never really even got beyond a beginners knowledge. I had to look up the translation online because it's been two decades since I studied the language and I actually thought it was Spanish, but it wasn't.
