A 7-year-old child living in suburban Chicago experienced severe asthma attack requiring hospitalization. After unsuccessful treatment with inhaler and prednisone, they were given medication causing anesthesia-like sensations. Despite nurses wanting them to stay awake, they drifted off and stopped breathing altogether. The child experienced looking down on someone in a bed with doctors working, then tried to get family's attention at home through a sliding door but couldn't be seen or heard.
They met others in a dark void, all trying to understand their situation. A distant light appeared and they became part of it while wanting to bring others along. The experience included overwhelming love and complete acceptance, with presence of other beings communicating in a strange language. A comprehensive life review showed moments from multiple perspectives simultaneously - their own and everyone affected by their actions. This proved deeply humbling. Meeting a feminine guide/counselor figure, they had to decide whether to continue this life or start over in another. They were warned this life would be very lonely and might not reach full potential. They were shown future decision points, their career, living location, and various challenges. They remember choosing their parents before birth from what looked like Seattle's Space Needle, selecting them for their kindness. Despite the guide suggesting starting over would be better, attachment to family led them to continue this life. They were shown a future scene with a blonde woman on a plane with sunrise above clouds, feeling "it was all worth it." Upon return, they were intubated and unable to communicate telepathically with the nurse. The experience left them more serious and mindful, noticed by a friend years later. Thirty years passed before meeting someone who embraced their story. They maintain hope for the future while attending IANDS meetings.
