The Story
Tammy Cheney experienced a near-death experience (NDE) due to a head injury that caused her to black out. During the NDE, she felt transported to a beautiful place filled with vibrant flowers, trees, and two bright beings. She felt overwhelming unconditional love and knew that this place was her true home. After the experience, she returned to her bed and struggled to communicate with others. Tammy underwent a significant transformation, becoming passionate about sharing her experience and the message of love. She lost many friends but continued to spread her newfound beliefs, feeling a strong purpose to help others understand the importance of love and connection.
“all the time, I felt like I felt peace for the first time ever in my life.”
