Priscilla O NDE

Experience Description

I was in anaphylactic shock. I knew I was dying; I was in great pain, went blind and then deaf. Then I died. I went out through my body, down through the emergency room bed, and then flew up into a corner of the room. I didn't look at myself on the bed; I knew right away that I had died. It was pitch black, like a total void, and I felt wonderful. I felt so good. I had no pain. I felt light, and like I had no body. I knew God, or some higher power was there. I knew that He held the key to my going back to Earth. I didn't talk to God, and He didn't talk to me, it was all emotions. I insisted I return, demanded actually, because I am a single parent of four children, and they needed me. This went on, with my demands, and also for my mother who is eighty and has already lost one child. Then God laughed, not at me, but I believe because I was so mad, and so angry at him. He 'told' me that I could go back because my requests were all for others.

Then I had an out of body experience, where I saw my boyfriend outside the building, he had broken up with me the day before, and 'someone' told me, 'Don't be upset, he's not the one.' Then I was back in my body.
