The Story
Kathy McDaniel was a 53-year-old business owner who cared for her dying ex-fiance in Seattle. She caught pneumonia, coughed up blood, collapsed, and had no pulse. Doctors hospitalized her, intubated her, and put her in a coma. During the NDE, Kathy entered a dark place where a voice said she was in hell. She ran to a bombed-out city, hid from shadows and demons, faced impossible tasks like cutting thorny vines with small scissors, carried aborted babies in a hospital, trudged a endless road, was denied food at a feast, suffered a mob attack where she got AIDS, and waited in a cold shack for customers during Christmas. She sang a carol, entered light and joy, saw her healthy ex-fiance who told her she had work to do and sent her back. After waking confused and angry, Kathy endured tough rehab, regained strength, married her boyfriend as NDE instructed, and shifted from Catholic beliefs to spirituality. She now sees life as planned lessons, rejects a vengeful God and hell, shares her story through IONS and a book to encourage kindness and empathy.
