Experience Description

I went to the medical clinic with my 12-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter for a checkup. My son took his test. As I was holding my daughter for her test, my body became very hot. I felt very weak and couldn't walk. So I asked my son for a wafer. Then I lost consciousness.

Then I entered a very relaxing space with colors similar to green and orange. I realized the presence of my deceased friend, from 20 years ago, who was by my side. I was on a winding, mountain road that I went up a bit. As we walked, I was told that I should go back for the sake of my children since I am raising my children alone.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw a nurse hitting me in the face. She was saying, 'You are good, sir.' I felt a very heavy pressure on my shoulders. I was really sad with all my being. But when I saw my worried children, I hugged them and calmed down.

I tried to tell a few people, but most of them didn't believe me.
