My name is Dennis and I am a Canadian living in Mexico. On June 22, 2008 I woke up in the morning with a cough and a feeling that I had not sleep, I started to cough and felt a small pain in my chest, I thought that I had strained a muscle.

I got out of bed and went to the washroom and suddenly the pain in the chest become unreal , I started to panic but had no energy. I knew I was having a heart attack. I yelled to my friend downstairs that he should get up here something is happening to me. I told him to get an ambulance as I was slipping fast, the pain was unbearable and I slowly drifted to semi awareness, hoping that he could call as he didn`t speak any spanish. A call was made to our neightbour and the neighbour called another neightbour who spoke spanish and get the ambulance to the house.

Feeling terrified and so tired the attendants started their check up, little had to be known I was in complete heart attack situation..They rushed me to the hospital that was near by, I was put in emergency. the pain was hardy and at this time was hoping to die, this pain was awful.

I kept coming in and out not knowing what was going on Doctors doing tests and nothing being said to me, then after a short time they put me in a private room, hooked me up to machines, intervenous, then the pain slowly went away. I was so happy.

This is when what ever it was happened, I got out of bed or so I thought and looking back in the bed I say myself sleeping so peacefully. I have never felt so peaceful in my life. I turned to the left and there was many people I recognized but they were all deceased, my parents , brother sister friends it was so I just can`t describe the feeling, but there was a barrier between us, we communicated and said I wanted to be with them. they all said no. not in words, but I knew I must return. its not time yet. the next thing I remember were friends and doctors coming in the room to confirm that i just had a heart attack, I said calmly I know. Strange as it seems I am no longer afraid of death. it is so calm.
