Heather’s life journey took a profound turn when she was hospitalized with complications from Severe Ulcerative Colitis, leading to a three-month stay in the ICU at the age of twenty and leaving her ravaged body weighing 79 pounds. Over three weeks, Heather experienced dozens of near-death experiences. After leaving her body, she watched her nurses resuscitate her when she became septic and developed ARDS following a third major emergency abdominal surgery. She spent time with deceased relatives on the Other Side and met her unborn children and God. She visited what she calls the healing waters and the building of knowledge and traveled through the dark tunnel with a guide. At the entrance of heaven, Heather was told it was not her time yet, and she had to go back. Heather returned to her body and began the remarkable journey of healing and resilience that included learning to walk and talk again. Her experience reshaped her perspective on life and erased her fear of death.
