Do you believe there is life after death ?

@SandWitch I recovered fully within a couple of months of the experience, and have not had a relapse. But it was basically a coin flip whether I lived or died.

@SandWitch I was given a choice to live or not, and was told that both choices were the correct ones. But there really was no choice--I had young children at home so I chose to be with them to help them grow up.

@SandWitch That's a hard choice for a child to make. But you made the right one. Did you see your angel(s)?

@SandWitch Our experiences have many similarities. I developed a massive blood infection, and my body tried to filter out the bacteria and wall them off in abscesses in my liver. But eventually the bacteria took over and the only avenue left to my body was to try to kill them with heat, so my temperature spiked above 105. The bacteria would release toxins every six hours like clockwork, and the chills were bone-wracking and painful. I was close to death when I went to the hospital, and the doctors had no idea where the infection was. While laying in the ER, a benevolent energy told me that I did not have to bear the pain and I could simply pass on. Or I could endure the pain and return. I chose the pain. As soon as I made that decision (all non-verbally, by the way), two luminous beings appeared and "worked" on my physical body. I knew they were what people called angels. Every time I was sleeping over the next week or so, they would be present and continue to work on me. With heavy duty intravenous antibiotics, a drain in my liver, and their help, I improved to the point where I was discharged. My liver has been normal ever since.

I'm glad you stayed on too! Interesting that the turning point for both of us was the work of our angels when we decided to return. The result of the experience for me is that I know I will see them again when it is time, and I have absolutely no fear of death at all.
