On Sept. 23rd, 2015 I was in a motorcycle vs. auto accident. We were hit head on and my girlfriend was killed. I flat lined on scene for 6 minutes and in the trauma center for 8 minutes. At this point I had no idea of what had happened.
I went to the Dentist to have a tooth pulled. I was given gas and left alone in the room. I felt the effects of the gas as I have received gas before. It began to create the "wa wa's" in my ears and I just relaxed and listened to the music.
On August 7, 1979, just seven days after my son was born, I lifted myself off of the couch and said to my husband that I didn’t feel right as I made my way down the hallway to the bathroom. I felt faint and light-headed as I sat down on the toilet to urinate. All of a sudden massive amounts of blood clots the size of softballs began pouring into the toilet. I didn’t understand that this was clotting. When I looked into the toilet, I honestly thought my insides had fallen out of me and I knew without any doubt that I was going to die! I was so frightened by that knowledge that I immediately closed my eyes and “let go.”
My NDE occurred 3 years ago in December. I was hospitalized for high blood pressure.
There are certain aspects of this story that started way before my enlightening experience. When I was 14, I started to get chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Absolutely terrifying, feeling of impending doom hanging over me every day.
