Barbara C's Experience

Experience description:
I
was in final stage of delivering my baby, the Dr kept telling me to push. I was
pushing and I heard the Dr say, "She has done all she can do." Immediately I was
floating up at the ceiling. I saw the light fixture from up above and there was
dust on the top of the brown light fixture. I looked out of the Hospital window
and saw a Coca Cola truck pull in and a man got out and started unloading
cartons of Coke and putting them on a dolly and started walking into the
hospital. The entire time I was aware of my body in the bed below and the
Medical staff all around it, but It did not concern me. I was at total peace. I
had never before and have not since felt the love, peace I felt during that
time. All at once, I noticed a round black hole in the ceiling and I was
swished threw it at high speed. After going into the tunnel, I don't remember
anything until I seemed to land back on the bed with a thud and the pain was
back.

Uncertain I have had dreams of what is going to happen before it happens.
Have you shared this experience with others?
Yes I never told anyone for years, because in 1968 people did not talk about
out of body experience and I did not wont to be labeled as weird. The people I
have told say they believe me. My experience seems to help the people I talk to
about it.
Did
you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?
Uncertain Can't say for sure, but I don't think I had heard about an
experience like this before it happened to me. That's why I never talked about
it, even though it was very real to me I did not wont to be labeled as weird.
How

happened:
Experience was definitely real I knew it was real and I did not need anyone
to verify it for me.

significant to you?
The
sense of not a care in the world. It was total peace
How
do you currently view the reality of your experience:
Experience was definitely real It's still just as clear today as it was in
1968. I have never doubted if the experience was real or not. It was a very real
experience.
Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Uncertain
Don't know about relationships, but I try to treat people with respect and
fairness, because I believe there is Life After Death and we will be judged. I
don't wont to miss out on the Peace that I know is waiting.
Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
No
Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life,
medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
Uncertain Not really sure what you mean, but we lost our second son (not
the one I was giving birth to when I had this experience) in 1977. Two weeks
after he died, I had a Vision (I suppose that's what it was.) I was walking with
Gary in a green field by a river, and we were talking but it was like reading
each others mine. Not really talking out loud. He told me I would have to go
thru rough times, but I would make it like he had.
Did
the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and
comprehensively describe your experience?
Yes
