The Story

sde illness positive Moderate Transformation 7/10 Intensity

The experiencer's grandfather had a brain tumor and was in hospice care. During a visit, the experiencer felt a strong voice telling her to go home. After returning home, she had an NDE where she felt herself and her grandfather being pulled into a tunnel with a guide. They moved quickly through the tunnel, but she realized she could not follow them further. She felt lonely and cold when the guide's light disappeared. A phone call then informed her that her grandfather had passed away. Later, she followed the same voice to visit her parents, and she had a vision of her stepdad dying, which later happened. After the NDE, she became more attuned to her intuition and premonitions.
