(21,594 posts)Same situation in a different way.
I died in 2009 and came back.
I woke up in a hospital room hooked up to blood, lots of blood. I was dying of peritonitis.
And then, there they were! My mother and my father in their mid-50's looking oh so well, healthy and concerned!
I called for a priest to come and read me my Last Rites just in case, just in case it was true and that I needed to be forgiven for the wrongs committed in my life if I died . So came a priest who assured me I would not die!
The priest looked at me again and then remembered me and that I'd come to him a few months before this time and told him I thought I was going to die. He seemed shocked and apologized for questioning my reason for wanting Last Rites. It is not in my character to do things of this nature, believe me.
So I got them read to me and managed to eventually get home after weeks in the hospital and lots more blood.
I cannot say the after life was beautiful or anything like that. If anything, it seemed quite boring but , Mom and Dad sure looked good!
So much for my very boring "afterlife" and was sure happy to see my two cats!
Good reason to stick around.
