Experience Description

I would like to share the NDE of my father's aunt. She was very ill and at that time, she was in a coma. My grandma was taking care of her and one night she was sleeping with her. My grandma had a dream and in her dream, she saw aunt sleeping on her side. Aunt was sleeping on her back from many months as she was in coma so her dream indicated that she came out of coma. The next morning Aunt came back from coma and told my grandma that it was very nice up there and she met with her husband. Her husband was so mad because it was not her time and asked her to come back. After a few days, when my grandma asked her again, she didn't remember anything. She lived a long life after that. (I don't have much information about this as my aunt is not in this world and she didn't remember the experience after that day).
