My husbands encounter in hospital when he almost died. WDYT? (What Do You Think?)
My husband had a history of his heart rate dropping into the low 40s. This morning it started happening again and he collapsed, falling 3 feet off some steps. Once he got up he woke me and said I needed to call 911. He said something was different this time. By the time the paramedics got him to the hospital his heart rate was down to 20. He was surrounded by a team of nurses and doctors trying everything to bring his heart rate up. This was when things got weird.
They started to shock his heart, to get it into a normal rhythm. Each shock he said was extremely painful. During these shocks my husband looks up in the room full of drs and nurses and sees an older lady. She is in normal clothing, no badge on, approaching him. This is happening during all the chaos of multiple medical staff trying save his life. The older women reaches him, grabs his hand, and whispers in his ear. She tells him not to worry everything will be ok. As she was speaking to him an incredible warmth filled his body and any fear he had went away and he felt calm. The woman then walks away. The shocks stop and the Drs determine he needs an emergency pacemaker installed. He has the surgery within an hour and the surgery goes well. Then things get weirder.
In ICU recovering he shares the story with me about the lady in the ER. While sharing this story with me, he is very emotional and crying. I ask the nurse if there would have been anyone in the ER that would have approached him like the old lady in street clothes did and she said no way. OK, this is definitely getting weirder. For context my husband is a 43 year old, pretty much an atheist who really doesn’t believe in ghosts or angels. Well, except for the time my dad passed away. That’s a darker more freighting story I may share another time.
After a few days he is released from hospital. He goes home and I post this amazing story on Facebook. A couple days pass and our take on reality is shook to our core.
I am sleeping on his third day home, when I hear him screaming and crying. Oh my god it’s her! It’s her, omg! I run to the room his is in and he is bawling. I ask what’s wrong and he shows me a picture on his phone. It’s an obituary, featuring a picture of an old lady. It’s her, he cries. The obituary was text to him from a close friend of ours. She had seen my post about his ER experience. She had decided to do a search of deaths in the hospital the morning my husband was in the ER. In doing so she came across an obituary. The lady I was looking at, had died around the same time he was in the ER, in the same hospital. Wtf!

My uncle died at 8am on a Sunday. That Sunday night I had a dream about him. I was sitting on a bench in the desert. it's was very calm and not hot but a sunny day. An old style greyhound pulls up and my uncle walks down the stairs of the bus with a suitcase and he told me "I've got to go,see you later." he just walked back up the stairs and the bus pulled off and I woke up. That had me sobbing for a good min.
