Missy B NDE

Experience Description:

In the late summer of 1994 at the age of eighteen, I was involved in a bad car accident where it left me with a head injury and a term of loss memory. It took me a whole year to finally gain most of my memory back. To be truthfully, there are some things that I still don't remember. I was told that some would come back later in time on its own. The most recent that came back and remembering one thing was several months ago.

On the top of my head on the left side, there is a 'Y' shape where it was stitched in total of fifty-three stitches. I went through what you can or could call it, a near death experience. It took me a long time before I finally felt ready to be open and more comfortable to talk or share about it.

When I experienced the near death experience was when I first saw a small white fluffy spot in the distance as it grew bigger and closer like some 'tunnel', but it was white and bright. The feeling during the near death experience is remarkable and is hard to describe. I only could tell in words, but it is not how it is to be felt while on earth. The true feeling was amazing where you don't feel any pain, anxiety, worry, suffering and any type of worse feelings that you experienced out in your lifetime. It was peacefully, joy, no pain and best feelings of all that you could even imagine - the best feelings ever! As the tunnel grew bigger and closer and I saw a small child in distance as the child was walking toward me. I recognized the child and her name was Teena.

Teena is a sister of mine who passed away years ago in the fire at our home at the age of five on the day of 21st of December in the year of 1977. Of course, it is impossible to remember her because I was only a year old when she passed away, but I have always seen pictures of her and would never forget how beautiful she was and even she looks a lot like me when I was a very young girl.

As Teena was approaching me and started to talk. The funny thing is that she signed to me the whole time. I was in awe because she never knew American Sign Language and she died before I became deaf at the age of eighteen months old due to spinal meningitis. It is amazing how 'they' really do know how to communicate when they never knew any other language while living on the earth. As the conversation went on, she told me it was not my time and that I need to return to earth to our family. At first, I wasn't sure why she said it and I felt that I didn't want to leave her. She repeatedly said that it was not my time and that I need to go back. I asked her why is it that I need to go back and why was it that I see her?

As her face glowed with the most beautiful smile, she had told me I was involved in a bad car accident and that I was severely hurt. She pointed down as I turned my head back to look down. I saw myself lying on the bed at the hospital in emergency room. It was shocking seeing my face was full of blood as my flesh was asleep struggling to stay alive. I could see several doctors and nurses were working on me keeping me alive. I turned my head back facing Teena and told her, 'No, I do not want to go back, I want to go with you.' Teena with her gentle smile said that I will one of these days, return back and those good things are about to happen in (my) life where I will have a good life.

Then she told me to tell our parents that she is okay, is happy and for them to stop blaming themselves for her death, and to our mother not to feel bad because she was not able to keep her promise and it was not her fault. (The promise that our mother made to Teena was that she will always be safe and that our mother would not allow anything bad happen to Teena.) She told me to tell them that she loves them dearly and not to be sad anymore. She told me to take care of my parents and that she loves everyone in the family. The time was running out and it was starting to fade away. We told each other that we loved each other and told each other bye as she started walking back to where she first came from, and then it fades away.

Here I come back to where I was at lying on the bed. I woke up screaming in a horrible pain as there was some confusion not knowing what had happened. At the time, my fiance was asked to come in the room to where I was at as the doctors and nurses did not understand what I was saying. I was saying where was my sister and I wanted to know where she went. My fiance thought I was asking for my other sister, Tammy (elder sister) and he said she is on her way. I went sleep as I was drugged.

When my sister, Tammy arrived, my fiance woke me up and told me that my sister was here. I reached out for her then I did not recognize Tammy and said that is not the little sister, the little girl. Tammy saw what I said; she burst into tears and knew whom I was talking about. Tammy had told me that everything will be okay and that our dad is on his way. A few minutes later, here our dad arrived and the first thing I told him was that she is okay, is happy, not to be sad and that it wasn't any of his fault. Our dad stood there and looked at Tammy. Tammy had told him what she had suspected what had happened then our dad burst into tears, cried for whole half hour and comforted me.
