Near Death
My mom’s heart stopped last month. It was an accident. They were testing to see if a pacemaker would help her. She says being dead is nothing. Just nothing.
They shocked her with paddles. They gave her a double dose of adrenalin. She says it felt like they were bringing her out of a warm, bright, peaceful place. Like a beach in Hawaii. Something was happening there. A woman’s voice was saying, “Wake up Carolyn. You’re alright. Wake up.”
