Have you, or would you share what she experienced
@escargot? I find NDE's fascinating.
Yup, I have indeed shared this relation's experience on this very Board.
Here it is, from the Dreaming of the Dead thread -
A relation was recently taken ill. I mean really ill, with a post-op haemorrhage. She was rushed to A&E.
As she was having a very big blood transfusion she saw everything go dark, even though her eyes were wide open, and then a man walked up to her. She couldn't see his face clearly but overall he resembled her late father in law, though taller and with spiky grey hair.
She can't be sure if he spoke to her but he wanted her to go with him. She said, 'I can't come with you.'
He seemed to accept this and walked away.
Later when the blood transfusion had done its job and she was sitting up, she told her husband what had happened and described the man she'd seen.
Her husband was a bit shocked: the description sounded like his cousin, who'd died suddenly only a couple of hours before my relation had been taken ill. She believes that if she'd gone with him she wouldn't have come back.
The woman's gastric band had gone wrong, causing the internal bleeding.
Her husband's cousin had died suddenly of heart failure in the same hospital shortly before she arrived.
At the time nobody except the cousin's wife and daughter knew he'd been rushed to hospital or died.
The husband heard about his cousin's death when he rang his mother to give her a progress report.
When he went back to his wife's bedside she was able to tell him about her
vision, while he was still in shock over the news about his cousin.
In fact, he said he blurted it out when he should really have been more tactful.
The husband told me the story himself. It had severely rattled him.
He only told me - after having been sworn to secrecy by his wife about the gastric band! - because we were close and he'd found it all so extraordinary.
I said 'That was a near death experience, you know that?' and he 'Yeah, it must have been.'
