Experience Description

After my son's death, I took epilepsy medication.

During this time, I had several visions of a beautiful yard with blue tinted colors. I was enjoying perfection with nature. I had another vision of standing in a street of an old western town. I saw a Being in a run-down house.

I was brain dead for 4 minutes and in a coma for 8 days. I was back to almost normal within a month. This has changed my whole outlook on life, but I still have so many questions.
