Lana's Experience
Experience description:
I'd a had a bronchoscopy
(I believe
the day before) and was in
pain.
I tried to sleep but couldn't. My dad
read the newspaper sitting
next to me. I closed my eyes and without thinking I went into a ....
sea of blue with light under behind and in front...all around me.
My pain left as I drifted toward a bright light and saw his hands stretched out
to his sides. I knew I had left my body behind. He had no face I only saw a silhouette, and knew it was Jesus. I knew I was with him, but remembered my
mom. I felt I couldn't leave her back on earth and Jesus said "Everything
will be okay". I was in my body again and was so cold. The pain was so
unfriendly and ever
since I feel all bound up in an
uncomfortable body. It's so cold here even in the hottest month. .
