Misty G NDE

Experience Description

It seemed to be a usual day. I went to work, nothing special happened. My cousin had picked me up to give me a ride to my boyfriend's house (David). I had planned to stay the night. When I got there two of our friends were there to stay also. We were going to smoke some weed and hang out. Shortly after I arrived, David decided he was going to go in the bathroom and shoot up some of his prescription. Keep in mind he was only nineteen at the time. He had been doing it for at least two or three weeks. I on the other hand had never, and had always said I would never. I still to this very day cannot figure out what changed my mind. Curiosity maybe? David had been in the bathroom for about thirty minutes. Our friends were in the living room while I was in the master bedroom of David's trailer and he's in the bathroom. I decided I was going in the bathroom. I remember being angry at him for many different reasons as I was going in there with him. Well seeing as he had been in there for a while he was quiet high, drugged whatever you wish to call it. I remember asking him to give me just a small dose to see what it felt like. And he did. Then I asked for one smaller dose. That was all I said.

It hit my small eighty-five pounds hard. So hard, in fact, when I stood up I fell straight backwards. The friends and David put me in the bed to sleep it off. The two friends went back to the living area while David went back to the bathroom. I was told; later on one of the friends got worried and went to check on me. When she looked at me, she found David shooting me up while I am passed out from before. She threw in a rage at him and looked me over. The two friends determined something was wrong. They threw me in a cold shower to try to slow the drug. It did not work. This is where it gets hard to know what happened. Piecing things together here is what I got. One friend called 911 while the other did CPR, but I was told when the ambulance got there no one was there but David. I was taken to Rutherford hospital DOA ('dead on arrival') is what I was called coming into the emergency room. You know that time they give everything and then they say okay we tried there is no coming back and pronounce you legally dead.

I was told I made that mark and the female paramedic that picked me up refused to stop trying. She continued for I am not sure of the amount time - evidently she could not quit, and it worked I am here. I was stabilized and moved into the intensive care unit. The doctors said it was a miracle I am alive but I was in a coma and they could not explain me being alive. They said I could be in a coma for a few hours, days, years or forever. Also, if I did wake up I could have brain damage or worse for my brain being without oxygen and my heart stopped for an extended period of time. I spent three days in coma before I woke up then two weeks in observation and two weeks in the psyche unit. What I remember is standing up and the next thing I was in this pitch black void, all I could see was a slight appearance of my body with a yellow/gold aura. I felt this overwhelming sense of peace; I cannot find another word that fits better. Kind of like everything has been taken care of and you do not do anything but go along for the ride. There were no lights but my aura. No angels, stairways, friends, no sound at all, absolutely nothing to the point of fear only with peace. I know strange. Nothing but this black space with me right in the middle.

I remember thinking where am I and right when I did (keep in mind this void also had the feeling of no time) it is hard to put into words. I half-way woke up and caught a blur of a female and what appeared to be the inside of an ambulance. Then everything went dark again until I woke up in the intensive care unit and found out what had happened. I am not sure exactly when my heart stopped and I was in the dark place. While I slept in coma the doctors just kept giving me the antidote because they had no way of knowing how much he shot me up with. No brain damage or anything else to say I died and came back physically or mental. But IT HAPPENED. I am eternally grateful to the paramedic. Also, the boyfriend who tried to murder me is long ago out of my life. I also will never forget the feeling of peace; I carry it with me always.
