When Death knocks at your door.... (59)
PeachesandRay: Yes as bizarre as it may sound sometimes a "near death" experience can be a "blessing" for it really teaches us who & what is "truly important" to us
I am happy for you Serenity that you were given the opportunity to stay alive and with all of us your CS family , as you share your experience with others, you will make a difference in their lives that no one but one who has walked where you have walked could share.... ok, enough philosphy

Thank you Shelia
I never considered that it would happen, at least not like this. It has definitely given me a lot of new perspectives on life.

To all of you!
To all of you!
Glad to hear it doll....
I have only been near death as a kid...so I don't know what really happened as far as being critical because I was only 4 when it happened so I only have the odd memory of it...BUT when I got in my car accident...which was head on and had my kids with me....yet walked away basicly unharmed...well it sure made me stop and think and appreciate how short life can be just from the what if's....Even the cop said that we were lucky we all survived let alone walk away and the nurse who also spoke with the cop told me the same and she also said...you probably shouldn't even go look at the car...So yeah it was bad...yet someone or something had to be with us all that day....and it was soooooooo hard for me to think of the what if's...that everything for me or my children could have ended that very minute on that day...from something that we didn't even see coming...it made me an emotional wreck for awhile....especially when I thought of one of my kids being injured badly or worse.....So I think I might know a bit of what you're going through...and it is hard to process and get through...just the emotional part alone!!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell you how many boxes of tissues and rolls of paper towels I've gone through in this last week or so. The emotional upheaval and roller coaster has been quite a ride. I'm just very grateful in more ways than I could even say right now.
It's hard knowing that I could have left and never saw my children or my Granddaughter again, but I now can look at it as an opportunity to change the things that I haven't as of yet.

I died two times, once when I was a child and again 5 years ago. I had gone for surgery and complications arised and my heart keep on stopping. I went through alot of blood tranfusions during the surgery, I remember the doctor telling me some of it but got what happened from my daughter.
As a child I always saw a angel talking to me and telling me everything was going to be alright but as a adult nothing.

I do understand this, though it hasn't happened to me. All I can do, honey, is wish you great success and joy with the changes you are making in your life. I do hope that all goes smoothly and know that you are in my thoughts. I'm sending positive energy to you, too.

Galactic_bodhi: I had a similar episode in 2003.
I was given a choice. I could enter Nirvana, or come back to teach.
Despite what hard heads people have, I chose to come back and teach. Sometimes I kick myself, but being a teacher is not something you really choose, its something you are.
Hope this perspective gives you some hope. Everything happens for a reason. I hope you find your reason, and soon, so the bad karma can go bye bye...(Had I known how much the hospital visit was going to cost, I might have made a different choice. : )

Good for you, Bodhi and thank you for coming back. We need good people like you teaching in this world that we live in. I honor your decision.
