In my first experience, I remember opening my eyes and seeing my husband standing a distance from me. Suddenly I had the sensation of falling. I thought I was hollering 'No!' But, my husband said I made no sound. I was met by my mother who had passed two years earlier. From a distance, I saw family members that had also passed. My mother told me to come with her. We walked down this long sandy path. When I saw a clearing, I heard a sound from behind me that made me stop in my tracks. I was told that it was not my time yet - that my husband and I had a lot to do and that many people would be counting on us. I then woke up in the intensive care unit.The other time it happened to me was the seventh cardiac arrest I had. This time I had an out of body experience. I found myself going back to my house where the doctor had told my husband and sons to go and rest until morning. I touched each of my sons on the cheek as they were sleeping. When I went to kiss my husband, the phone rang. It was 5:02 am. Suddenly I woke up back in my hospital room with the doctor telling me in my ear that he was putting in a temporary pace maker and medical evacuating me to another hospital. I was in critical condition and not expected to make it.
Background Information:

Date NDE Occurred: 11-03-2003 NDE Elements:
At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event? Yes Heart attack had apparent mild heart attack within 4 to six month period prior and did not know-went to cardiologist for palpitation did not do any tests before collapse Clinical death (cessation of breathing or heart function or brain function) 7 minutes first time and almost 7 second-cardiac arrest 7 times within a9 hour period I have a heart condition called 'QT Interval Prolongation'. I now have a defibrillator. However, it has not gone off at all, and I have just recently had it replaced. Oddly, I have had a dream of being taken up in a ship, the device being removed and then me being brought back. I've been assured that I will be fine without it. My husband and I are supposed to lead many young people to safety when the chaos gets really bad. What began this year in the Middle East has something to do with it.

I have had folks try to tell me that my experience was just a dream or that it was somehow scientifically explainable. But I know what I saw and what I heard, and I am positive that what I experienced was real. I saw chaos, smoke, fire, and destruction all around. When the eruption in the Middle East started this year, I knew that it had begun. I know that the tribulation began last year and the quickening has begun.
