My NDE happened when I was 7. I was playing with my dog in the back seat of the car while my diseased stepdad was driving. He took a sudden turn and somehow the back door opened and I fell out, with my head first, where I got blunt trauma.
On May 3, 2012 I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 20 weeks pregnant. I went through chemo pregnant until 4 weeks before I had my son. Two weeks after he was born I had a mastectomy, five weeks after that I started 12 weekly chemos then went for 37 radiation treatments. Four weeks after ending treatment I dropped dead in the middle of a residential street.
When I was 11 years old I was swimming in a lake in Wisconsin while on vacation with my family.
I was ten years old when, one winter day, my family (two parents and one older sister) and three or four other families and many friends went ice-fishing in northern Canada.
I became very ill with spinal meningitis when I was 19 years old. I was in a coma for 5 days. I was told that the priest came in to read me my last rites, as I was unresponsive and dying.
