The Story
Jane Thompson had her near-death experience (NDE) on August 22, 2008, due to septic shock from a kidney stone. During her experience, she felt herself leave her body while in the emergency room. She observed her body on the gurney and then floated away, seeing white balls of light connected by thin lines. She entered a dark tunnel, which led her to a bright light filled with love and peace. In this light, she felt healed and whole. However, she heard a voice telling her she needed to return to her body. Despite her protests, she was brought back and felt pain again. After the NDE, Jane dedicated her life to helping and healing others, feeling a new sense of purpose.
“the love that I felt in that light is pure than that. And I felt all this love”
