Gina R NDE

Experience Description

It was 103 degrees outside and I was lucky to be wearing jeans this 25th day of June, 2003. I was leaving a friend's apartment and planned to cut across an eight lane road. It had dividers so I wasn't that worried. Apparently, my timing was off and so was the driver that hit me. All I remember is that I had gotten to the middle divider and stepped halfway up before I felt a force pull me into a direction leaving me in the dark momentarily. A car going forty-five mph struck my body and I could sense the projection occurring before it happened. I could protect myself throughout the accident while learning I could see myself being pulled to a safe place. I don't know where I went just before I got hit. That is why I feel an angel of some sort was also involved.

While lying on the hot burning pavement, some people tried to help me and all I could see was how my life flashed in front of me an image of me not walking and of dying in the hospital. While in the hospital, I felt I was in a deep sleep from the exhaustion and impact of the accident but really the morphine was working too. I developed pneumonia in one lung and was getting worse. I was in an unconscious state and then in and out of consciousness. I was without food too. I managed to connect my broken cell phone and call out for help. I thought that I'd heal faster at home and did. The doctor said I might not walk for at least three years and I was walking by one year.
