Anne T Possible NDE

Experience Description

First experience:

I was in a car accident while driving with my four children.

I fell asleep at the wheel and hit the break too abruptly. The car hit the concrete side rails with such force that the car zigzagged and hit first in the front and then in back. When the car hit on the left hand side I remember seeing a light behind me, like a bright sun (it was nighttime), large and with a soft warmth. It was right behind the concrete side rail. I felt my seat belt and something that said 'Stay.'



Second experience:

In September 2010, I underwent surgery for sterilization. While I was under the anesthesia, I saw the same bright void and felt the same sweet warmth. I heard 'Not yet.' When I awoke, I remembered. Later on, the doctor told me that they could not perform the procedure because there were problems with scar tissue and the anesthesia. I was given a document to take with me along with my identification card. I would like to find out more from them about what really happened.

Was the experience difficult to express in words? No

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Uncertain Maybe. I was rather young when I had the accident. Nevertheless, when my grandfather died nine months later, even though I was not near him at the time of his death, I saw him lying in the sun; I felt his warmth and spirit around me. I spoke to him and then he left. The same thing happened with my grandmother. I knew that she was going to pass away, I felt it and I went to the hospital because I knew that she was alone and did not want her to die alone. She released her soul as soon as I opened the door.
