THIS IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT

Eight years ago, I was in the Emergency Room secondary to a ruptured appendix.   I was septic with a very low blood pressure.  While in the Emergency Room, I had an out-of-body experience.  It was the most normal and yet, the most amazing experience.  There was this beautiful arc of light which was pure spirit.  I knew the answers to the universe.  I instinctively knew that life is not that complicated. 

When I came back to the Emergency Room, I was more interested in what was going on there.  With the out-of-body experience being so normal, I naturally just moved on.  I had surgery that evening and was on life supports until the following day.  It was after the removal of the life supports, when the reality of my experience hit me. 

It was only for a moment and, at the time, felt so normal, but afterwards I had so many questions of “What was this all about?   What was the purpose of such a profound experience?” 

During an admission visit today, I was touched and moved by the love that, “Dean” had for his wife, “Heather”.  Even though he tried to hide his pain, it was all over his face and emotions.  Dean and I had a private moment in the kitchen where he spoke about his wife and asked me, “Why is this happening to her?”  He believed in afterlife, but, like most of us, did not have a clear understanding about the reality of it all. 

I was guided from within to share my experience of crossing over.  His grateful comments brought tears.  It also brought the realization of the reason why I did experience being, if only for a moment, on the other side. 

“Thank you Spiritual Guides”, but also so strongly, “Thank you Dean.”

THIS IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT

 

It has been almost eight years

that I crossed over to the other side.

It was so profound, although lasting

               just a minute or so.

 

Immediate questions arose;

“What was that all about?

What was the purpose?

What do I do with it?”

 

He is grieving so deeply.

Her decline has been swift.

No longer eating much; becoming weaker.

Not much time left at all.

 

He had to leave the room several times;

returning with eyes moist and red.

He has no words; no understanding;

“Why is this happening to her?”

 

I am guided by my spirituality.

It never leads me astray.

I told him about my crossing over.

It was so normal and beautiful at the same time.

 

He turned to me and softly said,

“Thank you so much for sharing.

It gives me great comfort.

               It gives me peace.”

 

I crossed over for a purpose.

To share my experience when guided from above.

“This is what it is about.

               This is what it is all about.”
