Experience Description

Until my 11th year, I was living with my mother and her boyfriend. My mother was always working; I hardly have memories about her of that time. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, was lazy and not ready to work! He remained at home, as it was his pleasure to mistreat my brother and me. He beat us and sexually abused me. Even my mother was not spared from his abuse.

During this time, my biological father and my stepmother (a great mother, still today) had been searching for us using detectives. They found us four years later in Lorraine, France. My daddy then contacted the police and youth welfare office to take us with him to Germany. I was traumatized by my horrific childhood between the ages 4 to 11. Of course, I missed my mother and it was very difficult being without her. One day, my father and stepmother had been prince and princess of carnival between 1982 and 1983. They had an obligation to participate in all carnival performances, in which I wasn't interested in at all. I stayed at home, when my parents left the house that Tuesday in February. I liked to watch the TV series, 'Dallas.' The particular episode on that day showed Sue-Ellen Ewing who was an alcoholic. She said, 'Everything is so terrible, I have to get drunk, in order to bear it!'

THERE MY EXPERIENCE STARTED. 'Oh yes,' I said to myself, 'Everything is also terrible with me. I miss my mom so much, despite my really nice alternative mother.' I thought 'I also have to drink something' while grabbing the bottle of 80% straw rum. I drank first one glass; then the second glass, and eventually I didn't notice anything anymore. Then completely drunk and without any memory about it, not until today, I grabbed medicines in the cupboard and took between 10 and 15 different kinds. My parents came home early that day. They saw me lying there in my own vomit and called emergency services immediately.

Suddenly, I saw myself from a corner in the emergency ward and I was fully conscious. I could see my own body down there in this room, sitting in a bathtub. Doctors and nurses were pumping out my stomach, calling my name and slapping my cheeks. I saw myself from above, in the room, and found this somewhat funny. I didn't feel anything physically, but felt unbelievably well where I was.

Suddenly, I noticed an unbelievably familiar presence with me. It was as if somebody was behind me, covering me with a coat of love and security, to protect me. It was so unbelievably BEAUTIFUL and RELIEVING. I communicated to this presence, without words and only in mind, that I wanted to stay there. But this person made me understand that I had to return anyway, as I still had a lot to do and that my time was not yet 'ripe.' I didn't want to go back, as I felt so very secure. Everything was so free of pain and anguish. It was unbelievable; I will NEVER forget it.

I suddenly woke up in a hospital bed. A male nurse told me that I was very lucky, because had it been five minutes later, they would not have been able to save me. In my youthful naivety, I told the nurse, that I had been watching from the ceiling in a corner of the room. I told her what had been done to me and that I was sorry that I vomited on his pants and shoes. He looked at me astonished and said that I should not know that. But, it was correct.

Shortly after this, I had a psychiatrist by my bed who was trying to persuade me that this was a dream. I resisted this idea, as my mind was NEVER before more clear as in that short, but unbelievably beautiful moment. If that presence would have told me what was waiting for me in my future life, then I wouldn't be sure if would have children.

Last year on May 8, 2013, I lost my first son to suicide, my most beloved child. I miss my Kai (26) so much! But I still have another son, our Sven; he is now 20 years old. For him, I have to remain strong. Sometimes I believe that this experience someway opened a psychic door in me, because with the pregnancy of my firstborn (Kai, 1986-1987) I got dreams, in which I know that somebody will be dying. My second husband Pauli is a witness since 20 years, and a girlfriend of mine! Though I cannot say in advance who will be dying, but only that somebody dies.

This is a never-ending story that I don't want to have you go through today. I also believe in transmigration between living and dead souls. Anyhow, 'this experience' helped me in my grief about my son, as I not 'ONLY BELIEVE' like most, but could experience it myself. After our passing 'here', there is a going on, out of the body, and I was allowed to experience how beautiful it is there. I also believe that my son was appearing to me in my dreams to tell me, that he now 'FINALLY' is alright!

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No I really do not understand this question.

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? I wish this feeling of love and security could spread over the whole humanity, so that the world, in which we live, would not be so full of war, hate and coldness. The mere premonitions, since my first pregnancy, that if somebody is dying I will have dreams about it, and my out of body experience. All this could not happen if there wasn't 'something' that makes it possible for me to know it. It's very clear that it's not a 'blessing' for me to know that somebody will be dying. But yes, there surely is a life after death. I had the unbelievably great feeling being wrapped in security and love. That's what I believe: a universal connection exists. I believe even having met an angel, when I was very sick at one time. Since this experience and being an older age, I try to have more understanding for everything and 'everybody'! I also do not judge, but try to get my own picture of everybody and everything. Telepathic conversations, without words. That after our passing here, something 'WONDERFUL' is waiting for us. Life after death is in existence really! I remember the experience more accurately than other life events that occurred around the time of the experience I so clearly saw and so intensely felt this experience, that even today I still can remember it with the complete feeling and a clear mind.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? Up to one question everything was alright. THANK YOU
