The Near Death Experience of Ms. Monika Tresch
What Researchers Found
The Story
Monica experienced a near-death event during the birth of her first child. She had severe back pain and blood loss after her due date passed. The baby's heart rate slowed, leading to an emergency C-section. During the surgery, she received medication and felt like she was floating. She saw a bright light approaching with feelings of abundance, shelter, and familiarity. Monica followed the light, moving without effort and feeling free from thoughts. She looked down and saw the busy operating room and her husband leaving. She wanted to stay in the warm light. A male voice told her, 'Monika, you have to go back. You still have a task.' She resisted, but her baby's cry pulled her back gently like a feather. She felt pain again upon returning. After the NDE, Monica opened her spiritual practice to help others. She shares that death is not to be feared and counsels people on forgiveness and accepting loss. She believes souls come from and return to the light.
