“I was around 5 years old when I almost internally bled to death from a bad virus. I experienced what I could only describe as maybe some weird limbo in between heaven. It’s weird because i don’t think I even had a concept of heaven at that point unless it something I saw in a cartoon.
I was transported to my grandparents house except there was no walls. Everything was hanging on the walls like normal but it was floating in midair. No one was home but I remember just wandering around the house looking at everything floating. Then it switched to me at my elementary school. Again, there was no one around. Almost abandoned. Except I saw another girl around my same age. My memory is a bit foggy of what she told me but I know she had passed away and I think she was trying to get to heaven. We ended up being in some beautiful area, gorgeous hills with green grass and beautiful trees everywhere with blue skies. I was standing next to a tree and kept rubbing the leaves, as long as I kept rubbing the leaves I wouldn’t pass away completely. I remember then being almost literally in the sky. There was a huge giant tree log that I wasn’t allowed to pass unless I was ready to leave earth. If I decided to go over it, I would basically be with “God” although I don’t remember thinking that word as a kid. It was just like you would be with some loving energy. I remember not wanting to cross because I didn’t want to leave my parents yet. And that was it. I woke back up from falling unconscious suddenly as I was hemorrhaging.” –shainajoy

“I had an employee of mine get very sick over a period of time, I won’t go into the details of his illness. He had been in the hospital for a week before I was allowed to see him. I was visiting him in his hospital room and his wife was also in the room. He kind of blanked out and then the equipment hooked up to him started beeping, alarms were going off. He flat lined. Many doctors and nurses rushed into the room and they tried to resuscitate him. We were eventually ordered out of the room. They came out about a half hour later and told us that they were successful in resuscitation. I wasn’t allowed to see him again until several days later. At that time he told me what he observed during the ordeal. He said that he observed the entire episode from a third person point of view, he saw the whole thing including me and his wife in the room.” –Hamfiter

“One of my best friends almost died giving birth to her daughter. She was bleeding out and the doctor and nurse had summoned the priest to perform last rites. She basically made a plea to god that if he let her live, she would make her life’s mission to save other people on the way to emergency surgery.
Says she blacked out and thought she was dead. She woke up with her Mom and doctor standing by her bed surprised she had survived.
She felt she had been given a mission and went back to school to be a nurse. She eventually got a job as an ICU nurse on the code team. In short, when people are dying, its her job to save them, which she’s done for more than 20+ years now.” –platinumgulls

“I heard a loud pitch noise telling me that I had a lot left to live for as it got higher pitched. Then I saw a bright light and woke up but I think that was the ambulance driver shining the flashlight in my eyes.” –Workerhard62

“I could not believe it. I thought I was just sleeping. It was creepy watching everyone around me gasp when I opened my eyes. Lots of puking an hour later.” –LonaDeOro

“I don’t remember my heart stopping cause it was during surgery but I definitely remember being in life support. I thought I was in some weird handmaid’s tale type situation and I was in the hospital for them to take my baby out of me. I wasn’t pregnant can’t get pregnant. I was in the hospital due to a kidney stone and I went into septic shock. They did a couple different surgeries for it and the 2nd one my heart stopped for a while. I’m going to edit and add that during my 10 days stay in the ICU. I was ready to die. Knew it was my time. It really didn’t click how sick I was until day 9 and I was up walking the floors and a nurse who took care of me in the beginning, got very excited and came and hugged me. In my head I was like ok I’m just out of bed. Then it hit me that she didn’t expect me to make it.” –Pretigee

“I drowned once, feel nothingness between being dead and resuscitated. However, the few moments just before dying and accepting that it’s happening were profoundly peaceful to me. It’s like you know when you’re doing something crazy and then mid-air/mid-action you know that if you get it wrong you’re just dead, or whatever happens it’s out of your control… It’s that feeling but more. Well at least to me it was.” –Fluff_E

“Tunnel of light, my grandfather and a ‘presence’ told me it wasn’t my time.” –fastandloos3

“I went to the “space place” twice. Every dead soul was just kind of orbiting around a bright light. Perfectly content, all connected with this weird and sudden understanding. Every fiber of existential dread was dissolved. Almost laughable. Then I felt the tug of a heartbeat, and a frantic pull of my lungs and I was back again.” –bmatthewi21

“I was pronounced dead but never resuscitated I think it might be why my family freaks out whenever I move something in the house.” –Prize_Language_8247
