The Story

ndeaccidentpositiveSignificant Transformation⭐ 8/10 Intensity

Mikey, a social worker in her 20s, had a near-death experience after a severe car accident while driving between clients. She entered a coma lasting about a week and a half. During the experience, she left her body immediately and entered her light body, feeling like an orb of light that was comfortable and warm. She floated above the hospital, viewing herself, the doctor, and events from an aerial perspective. She also sensed being in Virginia with her mom and grandparents, feeling vast peace, happiness, and presence in multiple places at once. A voice told her, 'You can't stay here. It's not your time yet. You have more to do.' She then woke up with a ventilator. After the NDE, Mikey felt depressed about returning to life. She left social work, moved, and made major life changes. She now values each day, feels grateful to be alive, and has no fear of death. This led her to become a death doula, where she shares her story to comfort others.
