The Story

nde medical crisis very_positive Significant Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The person experienced a near-death experience due to a severe lung infection while in Children's Hospital. During the NDE, they left their body and saw a glowing ceiling. They encountered a swirling mass of ghost-like people and then met a little girl named Penny who invited them to play in a beautiful playground. Penny told them they could not stay and asked them to tell her mother that she loved her. After returning to their body, they relayed Penny's message to her mother, who was shocked. This experience led the person to become a nurse and gave them a new perspective on life and death, feeling a strong connection to the spiritual realm and a desire to help others.
