Observations placeholder

I had this experience when I was giving birth to a child.  The delivery was very difficult, and I lost a lot of blood.  The doctor gave me up, and told my relatives that I was dying.  However, I was quite alert through the whole thing, and even as I heard him saying this I felt myself coming to.

As I did, I realised that all these people were there, almost in multitudes it seems, hovering around the ceiling of the room.  They were all people I had known in my past life, but who had passed on before.  I recognised my grandmother and a girl I had known when I was in school, and many other relatives and friends.  It seems that I mainly saw their faces and felt their presence.

They all seemed pleased.  It was a very happy occasion and I felt that they had come to protect or guide me.  It was almost as if I were coming home, and they were there to greet or to welcome me.  All this time, I had the feeling of everything light and beautiful.  It was a beautiful and glorious moment.
