The Story

nde medical crisis positive Moderate Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Isaura, a retired teacher from Portugal, experienced a near-death experience (NDE) at 17 due to high potassium levels from eating forbidden food while on hemodialysis. During the NDE, she felt her body go dark and lost her senses. She saw figures that seemed threatening and a point of light in the distance. She was approached by two kind beings made of light who asked if she wanted to stay. She declined, expressing a desire to live more. They told her it was not her time and guided her back, after which she woke up on the floor. After the NDE, Isaura gained a new appreciation for life and a desire to experience joy despite her health challenges.

I saw everything black, everything black, everything black, well, I ate that, I shouldn't have eaten it,
