BTW, my grandmother did have a NDE, she was pretty much gone from us in an ambulance, they told us they brought her back.
When I saw her at the hospital, she wasn't the same woman that raised me... she was softer, and couldn't speak a word to me. She had a trachiotomy tube in her throat. Even her face, she was smiling when she wasn't actually smiling.
I spent many days at her bedside before she died.
There were a couple of things that struck me odd... before all this happened, she would be one you could have referred to as "a dirty little ole lady".
She would be the first with the crude remarks, sexual inuendo etc... that changed... she wouldn't partake and asked for others to stop.
When I was with her, I was talking to her, countless times this happened... I was talking away and I would look at her and she wasn't there. Oh she was in the bed alright but, not beyond her physical body... I was like Mom, Mom, where are you... she turned her head and smiled mouthing, I'm right here.
This was NOT the woman who raised me at all, her character, her personality everything I knew about her, was different....
She came to stay with me for months in the summer times, it was holiday for her and my time to give back to her too. She loved it. If I lived closer, she would have lived with me. So I did know her very well.
When she died, it was at the Nursing home, she wrote on a paper to me one day... when I go to the Nursing Home, I am going to die. She was not scared, sad or telling me to freak me out, it was a matter of fact thing she wrote and that is exactly what happened.
She was there less then a week and she just slipped off in her sleep.
I was NOT a born again believer at the time and struggled quite a bit with her death and trying to understand, it was still years off before I would have what I do now too.
I do believe something happened in that ambulance that changed her... and that is about as far as I can go with any certanty at all....
Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeppy time! Meds kickin in lol!
Blessings!
