How can I help?

I was gravely ill and the doctors couldn't seem to find out what I was suffering from...
Let's start at the beginning...
I had a stent placed in my coronary artery to open a severe blockage...
The light was strong and somewhat unearthly at the end of a long tunnel...
I was in a beautiful space that was filled with light...
I was living with my parents at the time (failed marriage - tried to re-establish myself financially)...
I was eight and a half years old and was sick with viral hepatitis...
The most recent NDE occurred in the emergency room...
I went into premature labor with uncontrollable hemorrhaging...
I was rear-ended and confused, seeing my car drifting toward the stopped car in front of me when my foot was completely on the brake and I had been fully stopped just seconds prior...
Flat lined - went to a place that was beautiful lit - like the sunshine but much prettier and more golden (kind of like sepia tones)...
The first thing I see as I step out of the bright light is that I am a little higher than everyone else...
