What NDEs Teach

The Story
Deedra Dit Maltby had a near-death experience (NDE) after an auto accident that put her in a 12-day coma. During her NDE, she felt consciousness outside her body, experienced unconditional love, and met her creator. She realized there is a divine aspect to herself and a connection to the universe. After her experience, Deedra felt a strong urge to share her insights with others. She wrote a book titled 'While I Was Out' to express her journey and the lessons learned. Deedra's NDE transformed her life, giving her a new perspective and a deeper understanding of self-love and spirituality.
