Episode Description from the Publisher

Is this an NDE? You Decide...What if you spent eight and a half years trapped inside a body you no longer recognized—and then, in a moment when doctors thought you were gone, something brought you back? Elena’s story begins with a devastating head injury, years of unexplained symptoms, and a family desperately searching for answers. Then, during a medical crisis, everything suddenly changes. After an unexpected response to treatment, Elena begins remembering things she hadn’t been able to remember in years—and tells her daughter about an experience that she insists was not a dream.During her NDE, she heard thunder. She found herself in complete darkness. Then a voice spoke to her, telling her, “I am your Father,” and promising to wake her up. What happened next left Elena convinced she had encountered God—and that she had been given another chance for a reason. Was it an NDE, a dream, a neurological event, or something far more mysterious? In this unforgettable episode, Ricky and Elena share a deeply personal Near Death Experience, the strange details surrounding it, and the remarkable journey that followed. It’s an NDE Experience that raises some big questions about consciousness, faith, miracles, and what might happen when we reach the edge of life.VIDEO version now available on Apple Podcasts and YouTubeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Rikki Jo Neyer: https://www.rikkineyer.com/
