Because of the fact that I believe anything really is possible, therefore probable, I cannot rule out the fact that perhaps it was the infamous "guardian angel" or, my "superior (spiritual) self" offering me a sense of security to provide me a means of "getting through" what was already extremely emotionally overwhelming.
Hard to say. All I know is, I woke to a bright light illuminating immediately in front of me, surrounding what appeared to be a human figure. "It" was just there....providing me a sense of reassurance and security. And I did hear it speak to me, (whether it was merely within my head, or not), I heard it tell me that "all will be alright".
Not a moment after that, I looked away, and back again, and it had gone.
