Wade R NDE

Experience Description

I drowned when I was fourteen years old. According to the witnesses and paramedics, I was clinically dead for over fourteen minutes. I saw myself dead as I was looking down at my body and being joined by other spiritual beings. What happened after that is very difficult to put into words. Words just cannot describe what I saw and felt. I was told it was not my time. I was allowed to see so much. And then I was returned to my body.
