Brenda H NDE

Experience Description

I fell and the next thing I knew, I was in bed in a hospital room. But I was also up near the ceiling, looking down at myself in the bed. My Mom and my Grandma were at my Grandma's house, and I saw them there, crying. Next thing I saw was the Universe. Then I saw the light. It kept asking me to come to it. I saw my relatives in line. They told me to go to the light, too. I finally got to the light, and a voice told me that I have to go back - that they are not ready for me yet - because I still have some things to do. The next thing I remember is being back in my body.
