I am over eighty and I have never experienced peace, total peace until my near-death experience over 2 1/2 years ago. During that time, I thought I had truly died, entering into a realm that was completely unknown to me. It was a surreal moment, where I felt as though I was floating, detached from all earthly worries and burdens. I experienced peace, total peace—a profound feeling that enveloped me like a warm blanket, soothing every anxiety and fear I had ever known. It was a divine sense of tranquility that seemed utterly unreachable in my everyday life, an oasis I had long yearned for. Since that extraordinary episode, I’ve often found myself reflecting on that moment of blissful serenity, realizing I have not experienced it again since the medical personnel revived me, returning me to the chaos of existence and the challenges that come with aging.
I don’t believe I will find peace until my time on earth is done. Life has been full of challenges, causing moments of doubt and fear. However, I have let go of my worries about death; I accept that existence is what it is. I am prepared for the inevitable, knowing it’s a natural part of life. I trust that whatever comes next will continue my journey, helping me find comfort in the idea of peace, total peace beyond this life.
