"I wasn't pronounced dead but from what I was told I wasn't far.

I experienced nothingness. Like when you black out from drinking. Or when you get home from a super long day to fall on the couch and just fall asleep. it was like absolute restfulness and peace, but in absolute darkness. It's not scary at all, and it's really eliminated my fear of dying. The only thing I worry about are those that love me after I pass - otherwise I could really go at any point and I wouldn't mind. It made me stop thinking about good and evil and made me think more that people are just human."

"I was somewhere else. I was warm and safe and in no pain. I knew everyone that I cared about was just fine. Somebody / something patted me on the back and whispered, "You haven't been here in a while. Would you like to stay or go back?"

My kids were toddlers at the time. They needed me to come back. Then EVERYTHING hurt, even my hair and the world was loud and blindingly bright and harsh"
