I'm wondering what you would do & think .... I'd esp love to hear from moms of children who also had near death experiences
My oldest dd had strep pneumonia at age 2. When they were wheeling her back in from laproscopic lung surgery, her heart flatlined. They revived her and stabilized her. She went home within a week. The next year was really rough as she had to re-learn sitting, walking, talking and using the potty.
She is 8.5 now and is probably a year behind her peers (which makes sense with the recovery time). So there's a bit of history
Now, she had an imaginary friend at age 3 until age 5 or so. Her name was Janet. Turns out my great grandmother's name was Janet but people called her Jane. I've never met her as she died before I was born. I mean this was full on for her....she made room for her in the car, at the table, played & talked with her in her playroom etc.
About 2 weeks ago, my daughter matter-of-factly told me about the people ("Indians and bald people with lots of fabric around their bodies") who come to her room at night and just before the sun comes up to pray with her. She described in full detail what they look like and where they sit in her room. She spoke their language and translated it for me "we come in peace" and various prayers they say. She said they make loud footsteps before they come into her room so that she knows they are coming and doesn't get scared. She told me she can see them even when the lights are off. She said they look in on her brother when he is sleeping.
I was waiting for her to laugh, giggle or something but she was totally serious. I know kids have an active imagination and she has been through some trauma. But, I wonder, yk. I wonder if it's true and then I wonder if she is schizophrenic....so then I worry. She has been speaking this "other" language for at least 3 years. It's bizarre but I never paid any attention to it. She is a spacy kid....living partially in her own world and partially in the one we all share.
Then, a few days ago, she said they were there the night before. She then told me before they started coming, the my husband & I used to come to her room. I asked her what she meant...I said "but I'm sleeping!" and she goes..."when we sleep, our spirits come out of our heads like this (points to the back/top of her head) and they float around our bodies. Sometimes your spirit would float to my room and talk with my spirit.
I don't know what to think. I'm remembering all the times she fully described this other place.....talked about the different languages, different people, different food.
We don't travel. We don't go to church or expose her to any religion. I don't know how/where she is getting this from.
