Experience Description

I was doing my household chores, when I choked and couldn't breathe. I felt my head getting heavy. Then it was light and was going to fall down. I fell onto the bed and passed out.

I felt like I was floating. Everything was colored sky-blue and white. I felt like I was sliding upwards on a water slide but it wasn't water. Rather, it was bright, white light. At the top of the slide was a room like a doctor's waiting room. My mother and her sisters, who had passed on, were all in the waiting room. They were all wearing white jackets. I couldn't see their feet as it looked like clouds beneath them. I was so happy to see all of them and they all looked so young and happy. My mother was sitting closest to a gold door. There was a small space next to her on the bench. As I moved towards her to sit next to her, she spread arms out as if not allowing me to come sit next to her. Her smile turned into a cross-face, telling me to go and that I shouldn't be here.

I felt like I dropped back into my body and then started coughing. I was so happy after that and was smiling the whole time.
