Experience description:  

My mum and dad had just been hit by a car , it was horrific and my mum died the same day but dad survived and was in hospital. A few nights of it happening i remember having a bath before I went to bed and crying and asking out loud 'mum, were are you? I don't understand we're you have gone' I guess in hindsight I was suffering from shock as we were a normal family and this just happened out of the blue so I didn't really know what the hell was going on. Anyway I went to bed and fell asleep.  

Next thing I knew I was with my dad, he was ok and walking next to me on my left hand side. We were in a massive brilliant white space but it didn't hurt my eyes and it had no walls or ...anything! it had no ending just seemed to stretch on forever. but it felt solid to walk in just like normal. There was a white small round table in front and to the right of me. It looked like garden furniture type table and there were two chairs on our side and one on the other side, again all white and like plastic garden furniture. I saw some color off to my left and quiet far away I saw my sister stood with her boyfriend, both had their backs to us and they were looking at something on a shelf, they were mesmerized! But I couldn't see their faces or what they were looking at I just knew what it was. Also although they were so far away from me I could see them with such clarity like they were right up close to me. I knew that they were over there because they were not 'ready'.

My sister has mild autism and her boyfriend is a bit of an idiot so I just knew they were not to experience this. As I looked back I saw my mum!!!!! She looked beautiful, I have tears in my eyes even now as I right this. She looked healthy and slim and a bit younger and her hair was shiny and she just looked like she was in control and happy. ( my dad was an ex paratrooper in the army and had suffered multiple strokes from the age of 50 and mum had relentlessly loved and cared for him until it took a big toll on her looks and health)  I was not shocked in fact I felt nothing. I knew all emotions had been banned as we would not have been able to talk properly if the tears started. I just was in wonder! Mum smiled a beautiful smile and sat down so we sat down. I also noticed she had on a light brown wooly cardigan that I had not seen her in for years. I wanted to hug her but knew I wasn't allowed. I just knew we had our own sides to sit on. We talked for such a long time, dad asked loads of questions but strangely I cannot remember any of his questions or answers he got. I asked so many as well, this is what I remember: q. what are you doing now? Mum laughed a bit like she knew how weird it sounded and said 'I'm working'. I asked 'can you see us'? She said 'yes, all you have to do is call my name and I will hear you and come but please stop crying as it makes it harder for me to leave'. She also said time is different over there so she had been there for our equivalent of hundreds of years so had been fine for ages now. And she said about not being alone when it first happens but the exact words are a bit vague. No words were ever spoken, it was like telepathy. Please bear in mind I am a very level headed person so putting this down into text for the first time is hard as I sound like a nutter but feel 100% confident that this was not a dream and I remember it with such clarity. The reason for my confidence is this: a lot more personal stuff was said but I then 'saw' what looked like a dark pair of shoes and I just 'knew' they were bad news and somehow connected with what happened to my mum. Mum put the images into my head it was like speaking but with images. Anyway I woke up at 07:30 am cried my eyes out then made my way to the family home. My sister answered the door and the first thing I noticed was what she was wearing. Our mums brown cardigan I couldn't believe it! I asked her were she got it from and she seemed confused and said she found it so thought she would put it on. It had been packed away for YEARS. I know I had something to do now so started looking. Then as I found myself in my sisters wardrobe I found a plastic bag at the back (I never went through her wardrobe ever but just knew it was here) I opened the bag and inside was a pair of black shoes. I called my sister upstairs and asked her what they were and she put her head down and told me ' mum was wearing them when she died, the hospital gave them to me but I dint know what to do with them so I hid them'. We hugged and after a few minutes got rid of the shoes just like mum wanted.
