Every sound, every cry, every wave of despair cut into me with unbearable sharpness. It was as though my spirit could feel pain and hopelessness in a depth the body could never know.
Yet, when I was taken into Heaven, that same heightened sensitivity became a blessing. My soul was fully alive, saturated with peace and joy that words cannot describe. The atmosphere of Heaven entered into me, and I into it, without a trace of fear or sorrow. It was so perfect, so complete, that when I was told I must return to earth, I did not want to come back. My whole being longed to remain there forever.
