Hospitalized for ARDS (lung failure) in 1999, M.K. (Kathy) McDaniel was placed on a ventilator and into a drug-induced coma. A Disturbing Near-Death Experience occurred and, although mostly traumatic, the indescribable bliss of Heaven shifted her religious beliefs to a deep spirituality. M.K. credits the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS) members for sharing the tools to learn acceptance and an integration of her Disturbing NDE, allowing the joy of her purpose to emerge. She continues to share her comforting message of God’s mercy and unconditional love via Podcasts, radio programs and speaking engagements.
