almost suffocated when i was born.

I went through the ice once, when I was eleven. I spent three days in a comatose state. And I don't remember any of those three days. No 'tunnels to the afterlife', no 'angels', no nothin! I also haven't gone out on the ice since!

Once. Nearly died in childbirth. I just floated up above, watching the baby being born and myself bleeding. I knew it was me. Then I was back in my body looking at the ceiling, screaming, terrified, in tremendous pain.

Several...not what these idiots say...peaceful, qiuiet, lovely colors, But you come back to pain, fear, etc.
Not ready to "save the world" (oh, or write a book, either.)
