The Story
Kimberly Clark Sharp experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after collapsing outside a DMV due to a malfunctioning ventilator. She left her body and felt a sense of peace. She saw a bright light and felt immense love, which she described as home. During this experience, she asked questions about life and was told that we choose our experiences before birth. She resisted returning but was ultimately sent back to her body. After the NDE, Kimberly felt lost and confused but eventually embraced change. She became a social worker and developed a new understanding of life and death, losing her fear of death and feeling guided in her career.
