Michele C NDE

Experience Description

I experienced my soul leaving my body. I was in an absolute state of serenity, never before felt on earth. I distinctly saw my body and all my loved ones, or rather the ones who were part of my nuclear family. I had the gift of being everywhere at once. I saw my mother, my grandmother and my sister, all in despair. I would have liked to tell them to not worry since I was feeling wonderful. At the same time, I saw my father at work. He was being advised by someone running beside the ambulance. I saw my father who ran and left his briefcase on the stairs as he rushed into the medical unit. I saw the doctor who shot me with a needle in my veins. As soon as the medicine went into my system, I reentered my body and later woke up in the hospital after several hours.

After coming to consciousness, I recounted everything and when I described the specifics including how the medical office looked, which I had not ever seen before, and the fact that I saw my father leave his briefcase on the stairs, my parents were astounded. Since then I understand that death is a rebirth in a different dimension.
