The following is from an account of the experiences of a thirteen-year-old girl named Lynn. It is hoped that this will give some comfort to some who grieve at the loss of a beloved pet.
During open-heart surgery, Lynn had what is called an NDE, or near-death experience. Like some others who have had NDE's, Lynn experienced being in something like a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a light.
"From the light came two dogs of mine. One was a collie named Mimi who had died three years previously from an in- fection, and the other was a box named Sam who had died two years before af- ter being hit by a car. The dogs came running and jumped on me and kissed my face with their tongues. Their ton- gues weren't wet, and I felt no weight when they jumped on me. The dogs seemed to glow from a light that was inside them. I recall saying to myself, 'Thank you, God, for letting my dogs be alive.' I hugged my dogs as tight as I could."
While on the operating table, Lynn was almost lost to us. Fortunately, she revived and lived to tell amazing things about her experiences.
One of the things Lynn learned was that her dear pets were waiting for her in a wonderful place. |
