I was 10 in 1963 riding my bicycle home from a Cub Scout meeting when I was struck from behind by a car...my head met the car's bumper. I was unconscious for 26 hours and in intensive care for 6 days. I have no memory from the time I turned my bike onto the highway (a country road) to go home and just before I was wheeled out of intensive care. My odds of survival were grim for the first day. I have no memory of this but my Mom shared (later) that I kept speaking (while unconscious) "But I want to live in this world" repeatedly for a time. She thought I was on the edge of leaving.

Yikes. At first it sounded as though you were going to teach us to bite the enemy. But I'd have had to spit it out. This was all terrifically interessting. What we can't see that we do see, especially.
Thus isn’t a near death experience, but I do believe in them
When I was a teenager, my mom died after suffering thru several years of multiple surgeries.
In high school my locker-mate ( how old is that term? - I graduated in 1968) was kidnapped coming home from studying at the library. Her body was found many months later under a metal sheet brutally raped & mutilatated
Later when I was in college a friend of mine’s mom was REALLY into reading palms & fortune telling, etc. I told her of a dream I had that I remembered so clearly upon waking & still do to this day. I was visiting heaven, I was with my mom, walking around, we were talking- I saw Connie, my locker-mate, pointed her out to my mom & said “Look, she’s smiling, just like she always was!”
My friend’s mom was convinced I actually visited heaven in my dream
She also read my palm that day& said I wasn’t a believer in palm reading but she ‘saw’ ——-
And 2 very very distinct things, far reaching in my future have been proven to be true
For all who have interest in the NDE’s that people have experienced, do a You Tube search for “Near Death Experience Stories”. There are a number to choose from. Take your pick. I’ve always had an interest since first reading about one man’s NDE in an old Reader’s Digest Condensed Book. Lord knows how old that volume was as I was 12 when I read the story. That was 68 years ago. Dr Raymond Moody wrote LIFE AFTER DEATH in 1975 just two years before my grandmother died. We had a lot of conversations about what he had written as we both had the time for it then.
As for shark bites, I know when I was SCUBA diving in the Bahamas with my first husband, it was barracudas that we would hurry out of the water for.

Interesting topic. I would like to read more comments about these types of experiences. I think most of us want to know about life after death.

THIS: "...be more on the lookout for other unusual ways to connect. It’s one of the most important things we need right now."
