Hi John and La Nell,
Thanks for setting this discussion forum up...a welcome change from the daily grind of internet marketing...
I don't quite know what I should call this experience...paranormal or spiritual?. anyway, here it goes...
My husband had been into rampant alcoholism during the first few years of our marriage. Almost ten years ago, one night after a bad bout of what every alcoholic and his family faces, I was into a deep well of self pity and frustration. It was just a thought and the next moment I was racing upstairs to the terrace. I think I wanted to jump down. It all happened so fast! But as I neared the edge, someone held me back as if, holding me by my shoulders. I got back to my senses. There was no one around! I looked up at the sky and saw it was deep blue and studded with stars that twinkled, filling the sky with a white light that was so very heavenly! I felt it was GOD with me, I really felt and I wept to the realization I hadn't ended my life after all. My child's face and my husband's flashed on my mind and I came down the stairs with a new-found belief. And trust me, I developed an inner strength thereafter with which I stood by him to help him get totally sober.
I feel it could have been God or my father who had passed away earlier on or kind spirits who watch over mankind and help them out in dire moments?
I have no clue...
God Bless,
Aparna
