The Story
Kathy was a six-year-old girl in 1964. She fell backwards off a fallen tree while playing in an abandoned apple orchard, slamming into the ground on her back. This knocked the wind out of her, and she struggled to breathe. She gave up on the third try and surrendered. She traveled into a dark space. Two tall, lanky beings in brown robes approached her quickly. One told her to stop and go back. She said she could not because she could not breathe. The beings consulted each other. One said they would help her. She hesitated but agreed. She returned to her body. She felt a spirit give her breath until she could breathe on her own. She woke up as the other children panicked. After the NDE, Kathy became more introspective. She worried about mental illness due to her mother's schizophrenia but later embraced her psychic abilities, especially telepathy. She became a nurse and worked in hospice, using her gifts to help patients transition. She joined NDE groups, lost fear of being called crazy, and pursued healing through nursing and astrology.
