Yes I believe in them. I have been very near death twice as an adult and was in critical condition list for several weeks once as a child. I had an experience as an adult where I felt as if I was standing at the side of my hospital bed in ICU. I was actually looking at my name on the wall tag above the bed, and I recall thinking how am I looking at this? I might simply have dreamnt it in the state I was in, but I also knew things that where going on at that time, and I had been given only a half hour to live and my family had been told I wouldn't live through the night. I wonder about that now...if I was really there at the side of the bed in spirit. In any case I will say that every time I have been that ill; I was not afraid at all when it got to that point.

 

 

That is interesting, HJ.  I believe it could have been a near death experience or a dream God put into your head to comfort you. I believe we are given those comfort dreams and experiences when we need them. It is hard to share things like that sometimes because people will act like you are strange.

I don't believe we simply end. Not at all. I will tell you again that I have been very miserable at times... in agony and suffering; then as that level of illness gets to a point where you are near death you do not feel the fear or panic in the same way at all. It leaves you. At least it did in my case.
