Experience Description

I was at home and about to play my favorite online game when I suddenly found it very difficult to breath. I just ignored it, but then it became more serious. I felt like there was no air and I tried hard to breathe forcefully. I didn't know what to do that time as my vision turned darker. So I lay down on the bed instead, but then felt the motion of my bowels and I smelt very bad. That smell was very different. Once I smelt it, I felt nauseous. I still thought not to vomit on the bed, although I knew I had already soiled it. I looked around and it was very dark, like night already, but I knew it was only 4pm. I chose not to vomit on the bed, so I forced myself to get up and go to the bathroom instead. At the same time, I wanted and needed to take a bath. I removed all of my clothes. I then totally blacked out, fell down and knocked my head on the floor. That's the last thing I remember before I returned to consciousness.

Suddenly I was in a very dark tunnel going up, up, up, way up above. Then came a very dark place, which I know was a tunnel. After passing through it, it changed to very bright light. I thought it was the sun, but it was not. I have no idea where that light came from. Someone spoken to me for a while, and that voice came from the light. You know what I felt when I saw that light? I felt that someone loves me very much, but I had no idea who it was. I was very overwhelmed with that bright light. While I was there, I felt the love, and that love I never felt before. That light welcomed me very warmly and loved me very much. My words to the light before I woke up were, 'I want to stay here, but I love my two kids'. With that, I suddenly woke up.

It was already 8.30pm that time. I was very dirty, and very smelly all over the place. I was still breathless. I was very confused and didn't know what to do. I panicked, so I opened the door and asked my maid for help. I opened the door, fully naked (I never felt shame after this experience). My maid told me that my face and my whole body had turned black, and when she touched me she said that I was very cold, like dead person. She started to clean my dirty bed. I told to my maid everything that had happened to me. I still don't know what an NDE was at that time so I didn't tell her the whole story. A few months after the incident, I slowly told her what happened to me.

I'm still asking myself what really happened to me that day of May 2, 2007.

It was very scary experience. I thought I wouldn't be able to see my two kids anymore. Was it true that the light was God? Was this the reason I felt very overwhelmed? I felt that only that light ever loved me, and no-one else does. People know only to beat me, hurt me, criticize me, offend me and much more. Nobody loved me in that way before. How I wish my two kids and me could go there and feel that love forever. I didn't like to leave my children behind and that's why I preferred to take care of them first. As a single mother/parent I have to love my children unconditionally. My mission is to raise them up in a proper manner and help poor people.
