IN RESPONSE to Mike Everett’s letter (ViewPoints, October 16) about life and death, from my own personal experience, death is nothing to be frightened about.

Between 2001 and 2006, suffering various major illnesses, I passed away three times and was each time resuscitated by the fantastic medics at our wonderful JR Hospital.

Strangely, on coming round each time, I had strong beautiful memories of the act of passing away, which was each time aesthetic and tranquil and proved to me that there is a spiritual world away from this earth.

While not ‘Bible-bashing’ or trying to persuade folk to believe in another life, I felt inspired to tell the world of my experiences, so wrote a book detailing what occurred.

The book titled Glimpse Beyond Death is free to everyone if they contact me for a copy. My email address is tayloradrian7125 @yahoo.co.uk.

Despite being physically disabled, I feel I am the luckiest guy in the world to have been given another chance of life.
