The Story

nde surgery positive Major Transformation 8/10 Intensity

The person was 14 years old when they experienced an NDE due to severe abdominal pain caused by intussusception. They went through a lot of pain before being taken to the ER, where they had a CAT scan and learned about their condition. During surgery, they entered a gray void that felt warm and safe, where they felt a connection with an energy of love. After waking up, they felt a healing pain and began to recover. The NDE changed their perspective on life and death. They no longer fear dying but focus on living fully and learning love. They also became more open to different spiritual beliefs and practices.
