I died and came back to life after a car crash - angels showed me my future husband... now I'm married to him with kids
When Jeanette Hedström was asked to make the biggest decision of her life the stakes were high—it truly was life or death.
The 42-year-old was involved in a head on collision in Jönköping, Sweden, in July 2004 when a car driven by her sister was in a head-on collision.
Ms Hedström's seatbelt pushed all of her internal organs up under her heart, with her intestines torn out, diaphragm ruptured, and both lungs punctured—she should have died on impact.
But, as she watched her 'smashed to pieces' body being worked on by paramedics at the roadside, she found herself floating upwards, where she was greeted by two angels and the ghost of her dead godmother.
Ms Hedström, from Gothenburg, recalls hearing a voice whispering, 'Let go, I've got you', as a bright beam of light transported her to a 'loving and peaceful' waiting room.
She said, 'I couldn't breathe and everything hurt. I kept yelling: "I'm dying" over and over.
'All I wanted was to go home - and then I left my body.
'I saw everything unfold, like a movie scene, where I couldn't even comprehend that my physical form was still in the car and I was just a soul floating above.
'I didn't want to die - my body was fighting with every ounce of strength to survive - but then I surrendered when I heard that voice.
'[In the waiting room] immediately, I decided I was going to stay there.
'It felt perfect; I had such a deep sense of belonging.
'But it was made clear very quickly that this was just a step in my path, and that I had to return to my broken body to heal it.
'It felt like I was there for an eternity.'
Here, in this mysterious chamber which traversed two realities, the trio of benevolent energies showed Ms Hedström her future if she returned to Earth—including her future husband and their unborn children—and what would happen if she chose to stay dead.
She said: 'I saw how I would extinguish the lights and vibrations of my children I had yet to meet and create.
'The angels showed me how important it was for life to carry on.
'The voices of everyone on Earth praying for me - my friends, mother, father and sister - all asking me to survive and fight played in my ears.
'I knew I couldn't let them down.
'I had to explore my future as the angels predicted; so I made the decision to return.'
She woke up three days later in the hospital, where she had been undergoing emergency surgery to save her life.
As the damage was so severe, every organ in her abdomen had been removed, and her body was filled with fluid, so they could float freely when placed back to ease pressure.
Medics believed she wouldn't survive, but as she began breathing on the ventilator, they were left in disbelief.
She said, 'It was called a miracle the way I healed.
'I only remained on the ventilator for three more days.
'In that time, I had my eyelids stitched back together, a titanium rod put in my arm, and three vertebrae in my back fused.
'They didn't know what the outcome would be; if I'd ever walk again or be without chronic pain.
'But all it took was one month to heal. The speed at which I recovered was beyond explanation.'
Ms Hedström—who now runs a creative healing centre called Seven Lakes, deep in the Swedish woods—has no lasting injuries or complications from the incident in 2004, even though on paper she's classified as disabled.
She believes the place she entered was a portal into the rebirth of her soul.
And for her future? The angels were spot on.
She added: 'I never saw [my husband] physically, but I felt his energy so clearly.
'It was like I recognised his soul long before we met.
'And yes - it turned out to be the right man, the one I knew deep within I was meant to meet.
'I also felt the presence of our children; I sensed them before they came.
'There were three distinct energies I connected with.
'Today, we have two beautiful children - but one is missing.
'I lost a son in pregnancy, and maybe he was the third one I felt; or maybe there's still a surprise waiting for us.
'When [my future] all began to unfold, it felt like a deep remembrance, rather than a surprise.
'It was as if life was confirming what I had already seen with my inner eye.
'I carry a completely different relationship to life now.
'I want to live, and I know it's important that I'm here.
'I experienced the death of my false self and the rebirth into my soul's path.
'It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen - and yet, the most painful.
'Almost dying is one of my biggest gifts and taught me such valuable life lessons that I guide others with now.
'I wouldn't want to go back to how things were before - I'm no longer living out of fear, but out of love and courage.
'Death isn't something I'm afraid of anymore because I know what's waiting for me on the other side.
