Experience description:

I just want to share the experience of my daughter who died shortly after this. If I could comfort even one parent who lost a child, I would be very happy. My daughter was killed in a traffic accident, she was in a coma for 13 days prior to dying. About 7 days before the accident, she woke up and ran into the living room where I was with her stepfather, and asked "Mom, why didn't you tell me that heaven is this beautiful?". I want to mention that we never had such conversations, and that as a teenager, she was not interested in topics like these at all. She was only interested in getting good grades and spending time with her friends, she liked taking care of her looks and being the center of attention. Nevertheless, she was very emotional, cared about the animals and everyone who was sad or suffering. I answered her "How could I know what heaven is like?". I asked her to describe what she dreamed about, she said: "I was in the house with you and stepfather and I walked out to the most beautiful place. Those colors, that music and that air doesn't exist here on earth and I've never felt it before. There's no pain, there's no sadness, it's a very nice feeling and everyone is happy". I laughed. She talked about it with a lot of emotion. I asked her what happened after. She told me that a woman in black clothes came up to her when she saw how happy she was, and asked in amazement "My child, don't you know that you died?".

My daughter got scared and woke up, at least that’s what she told me. Two days after that she told me that she's scared to go anywhere, to school or training, because she had the same dream again. Unfortunately, I didn't ask her anything and I didn't believe. I really didn't believe that something bad could happen to my child, now I hope she is in the kingdom of heaven.
