** trigger warning, death, near death experience and childbirth **
This time 14 years ago I had a near death experience during childbirth. What happened will forever affect the rest of my life and I will always be grateful for the extra time I have been gifted.
During labour with my 4th child I experienced a placental abruption and both myself and my son nearly didn't make it. I'm sharing this because in the lead up to his birthday every year the memories come back and I think about what could have happened and I am thankful for an extra year with those that I love.
The part I want to tell you about though is what happened during my NDE. I was in excruciating pain, my husband was holding my hand, the alarms were going off, babies heart rate was dropping, people were rushing into the room and then it happened, one by one my sense shut down, my sight, touch, the pain went away, the only thing remaining, my hearing!
I could hear everything, my husband telling me to wake up, come back but I couldn't feel any more pain, in fact it was the opposite, what I felt was just pure bliss, warmth and an overwhelming feeling of love, it was just beautiful. I felt like I was in that space for a really long time but it was only a couple of minutes in total. I saw a light but I didn't go towards it, I just remained in that void for a while.
When I came back, life had changed, I used to fear death, I no longer do. When I see clients with loved ones who are close to the end of life, I tell them to talk to them, even when they feel that their loved ones can't hear them, they can! They know you are with them, supporting them to cross over. They feel no pain at the end, just pure bliss and love. 💚 If you've ever wondered if your loved ones heard you at the end, they did, they knew you were there!
I hope this helps someone who sees this, I always trust there's a reason when I share things like this.
Hoping you all have a beautiful, blessed day
