Experience Description

I drank some alcohol, took a couple of pills and bought another pill from my friend. When I snorted, pill I'd bought, I sat back and within minutes blacked out. I didn't know there was fentanyl in the pill. My dad came in my room and found me not breathing. He called 911 and laid me on my back in the living room. He started giving me CPR.

I remember my entire life flashing before my eyes. Then, a Being took me to a garden. It was the most peaceful feeling I’ve ever felt; no depression, no anxiety, no worries. I felt just peace. The next thing I know, I'm standing over my body that’s being revived by firefighters. I was with the Being of light. It seemed feminine and almost like she'd had the presence of everyone I ever loved inside them. Every question I had, was answered telepathically. The Being told me, 'Everything is going to be okay' and 'It wasn’t my time yet.'
