The Story

nde childbirth very_positive Minimal Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Zelma Rota, a 39-year-old woman, experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after giving birth to her daughter. Following childbirth, she fainted in the shower and suffered a hemorrhage. During the NDE, she felt herself leave her body and entered a bright, light-filled space. She called out to God and expressed her desire to return for her newborn daughter and husband. A voice reminded her of a statement she made at 15 about dying in childbirth. She was then told to return to her body. After the experience, Zelma felt a strong transformation in her life, becoming more aware of the power of her thoughts and the importance of being careful with what she says.

and there was that light that swayed ... it was only one light ... in a well-lit tone ... and it swayed. A very beautiful voice ... then, a very beautiful voice said to me: "Do you remember what you said?"
