my brother  died suddenly  of  a heart  attack.  I have lost   loved  ones  before but  never lost someone so suddenly  and  so  unexpectedly  so I  was having  some  trouble with closure  things  I  would have  liked  to  tell  him but  never got  a chance to. anyways like a lot of other people I started  going  to various web  sites  and  reading books  and  articles  on the subjects  on NDE in the  hopes  of  convincing  my self  of an  afterlife even though  I had  strong  personal faith  in god for me at least I could never be 100%   sure  of  what happened after death if anything  at all other  than total   lights out for lack of a better term  so id say for a couple  weeks I was reading  NDE on this  website hoping to at least get an idea  what  it was like for him  and others when they passed never even thinking about ADC then one mourning it happened  I was sleeping but not fully out u know when your half awake half asleep and  dreaming  when suddenly  it happened  I awoke in  what I would describe as a waiting room of sorts  all white and bright and sitting on a bench just sitting there looking around thinking  this is strange I knew I was just sleeping and now I'm fully alert and in a place not sure how I got here I'm not scared I'm more in wonderment of this room I am in.  looking around the room and how bright it is at this point I'm not even  thinking  about my brother  NDE or anything like that I'm just looking around checking out this room. the room had  windows all around  I was looking  out the windows when all the sudden I see my brother walking by  and he  opens up a door and walks in the room  I realize what is happening and I yell out very excitedly his name what happens next is hard to explain he   looks at  me and  when he does my body  fills from head to toes with the most powerful electric currents very very powerful but it didn't  hurt it was so powerful  that it  woke me up instantly.. I mean the most intense sensation now without a doubt  I was fully awake but for five to ten seconds I couldn't move while this energy coursed through my  entire body. at least at that time I was saying electricity now as time has passed and I reflect on the events it wasn't electricity but when I saw him its like every atom in my body all of me was vibrating at an incredible level.  I truly believe that god knew I was thinking about him  and took me to a place where I could see my brother and let me feel this amazing  feeling so I would know for sure this was not just a dream but true if brief  visit with my brother. this will stay with me for rest of my life and I consider it a very special gift from god and my brother.
