Thank you for the reminder of how we are so much more and especially in sharing the ever so personal details of your NDE. Stories such as yours help people meet....and hopefully come to honor their souls and ultimately their full circle connection to all souls in their experiencing life. 🙏💖

How would you talk to a child who this happened to ? Talk to yourself with that same grace and compassion.
You have a beautiful heart. To shows.
