As a child I was very ill. One particular night I was especially bad, and I remember seeing a brilliant light- but instead of feeling peace and joy it frightened me. My mother told me I cried out ‘It’s too big!’ ‘The light’s too big’. I’ve come to believe that the light I saw was what NDE people see, but why did it frighten me? I was an innocent child. I couldn’t have been headed for purgatory.

When I was about 12 I guess I had severe Pneumonia and the night before my parents took me to the hospital I was out of my head delusional. I live in a rural area and the custom is when someone passes the local church rings the church bell. I heard that bell half the night. I also was begging my dad to go to the spring beside the house and get me some water. Even ice water seemed too hot. I had a pretty high fever.

Not talking about clinically dead. I’m talking about dead. Totally dead. Dead beyond revival. Not near-death, but done. You don’t come back from that. and that woman didn’t. Also, as I previously stated, I don’t mean an after-life in heaven or on any other plane of existence.
