My husband died twice after his heart attack but was brought back by paramedics. As a devout Christian I asked him: ‘Did you see the light?' His response shocked me... now I realise the miracle
It was like a scene from Holby City. The road was blocked off; there were two police cars and an ambulance, and crowds of people I didn't recognise.
