I became interested in reading about life-after-death experiences after my brother was killed. From the books by authors Dr. Raymond Moody and people who have claimed to experience similar near-death revelations - including very small
children - I've become convinced that these experiences are real. In fact, after my overdose,
I awoke to feeling kind of disappointed that nothing "happened" to me while I was out, as I would have certainly died without medical intervention. However, because of prompt medical care, my heart did not stop - although I understand that there was some discussion of putting me on a respirator. Thank God this was not necessary.
I believe we were not meant to know too much about this afterlife because, if everyone was positive about entering paradise after death, suicide would become as common as tap water. It's wrong, and I am deeply shamed and regretful about what I did. We are all here for a reason, even if we lose sight of that reason. We have to keep on.
