Deborah G NDE

Experience Description

My sister and I were two and three years old. We climbed onto the sink into the cabinet and took out the St. Joseph aspirins. I split them up two for her three for me, one for her two for me. When the bottle was empty we ate them like they were candy (to this day I cannot take the smell or taste of anything that reminds me of these aspirins). My mom found us, saw what happened, and called my father and we went to the hospital.

In the hospital, I remember leaving my body. I saw doctors and nurses around my parents and me in the hall. I saw and heard the doctor talk to my parents and tell them for one of your daughters we were able to pump her stomach; but your other daughter we could not and she has passed. While this was happening, I left the area of my body and there was Jesus; he put out his hand, I grabbed it, and we start walking to this light. All communication between us was not speaking with our mouths, but with our minds. He said my child you have a choice you may come with me into the light and go home or you may return. We communicated like old friends, I said I would like to go home but I must stay with my sister and I still have things to do. At this time I saw my parents come into the room, (my father did not believe the doctors) and when they saw me they were crying and giving me a kiss then the heart monitor started to beep. They called the doctor back in who had a look of shock on his face and could not believe it.
