This was such a gripping read, MK and you express yourself so very beautifully. Debra expressed here my own feeling that I was right there with you when your father died and you struggled to process the enormity of what happened. How very sad that your mother was not there for you when you most needed her to be. Your description of the NDE is so comforting to me. I have read the work of others who describe similar feelings of acceptance and love. Thank you for sharing this deeply impactful story. A🙏💚
