Experience description:

My father was seriously ill in the hospital. My mother had called me to tell me that my Dad was asking for me. I wasn't able to get to the hospital until the next day. I was very anxious about going to see him the next day. I went to bed shortly after putting my two young children to sleep.

I fell asleep as usual and woke up to see a shadow walk around the room. I knew it was my father. I looked at the clock and it read 2:30am. I then drifted above my body and noticed I wasn't afraid. I then traveled through a tunnel with a bright white light. It was nothing that I have ever seen. I felt Love, pure Love. I saw my father and a beloved uncle that had passed years before. No words were spoken but I understood everything. I knew my father and uncle were fine. I felt love like never before. I also knew nothing was judged, just the purest love. It's hard to put it in words because there are no earthly words for it. I wanted to stay where I was, but was 'told' I couldn't and that I had children to take care of. It wasn't in words, it was a telepathic knowing. I begged again and was 'told' again, I couldn't stay there now. I quickly went back through the tunnel.

I remember waking up to the telephone ringing. I started to cry because I knew my father passed. It was my mother saying what I already knew. I was crying so hard and I asked her what time it was when he passed. She said about 2:30 in the morning. I cried and cried that day, I was remembering what happened during the night. I knew my father wanted to let me know that he was alright.

Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you?
Knowing that there is something more after death, and to make my life on Earth that much better!

Yes A day or two after I told my husband. He didn't seem too interested.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience? Yes My relationships have more depth and I know when people are being real or not.

Have your religious beliefs/spiritual practices changed specifically as a result of your experience? Yes My spiritual belief stronger. I absolutely know there is something more after earthly living and that Being is so far beyond anything we will ever know while here. No words can explain the peace we will someday know, and the purest, most unconditional love ever known.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? I would just like to reiterate that the love, understanding and knowing is something I have never known before or since. I get little pieces of 'knowledge' randomly. I pay attention to those. Sometimes they are overwhelming and can't quite 'hear' the total message. It happens a lot.

Did the questions asked and information that you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience? Yes I did my best to put my experience in to words. How do you describe something that has no words?

What could a national organization with an interest in near death experience (NDE) do that would be of interest to you? More research so that more people would come forward and share. Also, my experience follows a NDE to a tee, but I was in no emergency situation. That's one reason why I've never pursued it before.
