Dear Friend,

- Does your child act mature for their age like a "wise old soul"?
- Get distressed by news or violence on TV and in movies?
- Is your child unusually loving, always interested in helping others?
- Has their personality changed after a brush with death or near miss?
- Has your child ever been in a life-or-death situation?
- Did their heart stop, even briefly?
- Did they ever say, "I almost died!" after an accident?
- Was your child ever found at the bottom of a pool but appeared okay?
- Did your child experience trauma during birth?


If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you need to read further.

Many children have NDEs and don't understand what happened. NDEs can occur in situations where life-saving measures are NOT needed. They can occur in infants or even during the birth process.

Children who have an NDE are FOREVER CHANGED!

I know. I had an NDE at the age of five when I almost drowned. No life-saving measures were needed, yet I still experienced the "loving light", a peaceful "knowing", a life "movie" (review), angels, and an out-of-body experience. After that, my world was never the same again.

Researchers now know that "aftereffects" always follow an NDE. Your child will remember the NDE their entire life, and the story will never change.


They may also be afraid to tell you! Will you believe them?
Think they're crazy?

These books can help your child ....

THE DAY I ALMOST DROWNED:  A CHILD'S NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
is about the day I almost died in my backyard swimming pool when I was
five years old. 
During my NDE, I was embraced by a loving light as I moved out of my body, watching the scene from above.  I was then shown my life "movie" by angels until I understood that how we treat others is our most important test in life.

Growing up wasn't easy as I experienced most of the "aftereffects" described below.  This book will help all children to know that being different is okay.  This humorous and insightful autobiography will also comfort children who've had an NDE by giving them coping mechanisms to navigate life after their experience.

RACHEL'S MAGIC SWING is a beautifully inspired book written especially for children who may have experienced an NDE. It was written with love and humor to ease a child's fears about death. (In many cases, even if YOU don't think they "almost died", they KNOW they did!)

Rachel
discovers she has a Magic Swing when Jonah, the angel, materializes out of thin air! He takes her on an "adventure to heaven" - described in a fun and truthful children's version, based on reports from hundreds of kids who had an NDE. Rachel longs for the loving light she felt in heaven. Life on earth is hard. Until Jonah shows her the Magic Book and helps Rachel realize how special she really is and how to be true to herself.

This book will also help children who face a serious or terminal illness. Rachel was "born sick" and often visits the Ronald McDonald House while she receives treatments at the hospital. Her sickness is not described so that all children can relate to Rachel. Healthy children will also empathize with Rachel's life and learn valuable lessons from Jonah, her best friend and angelic playmate!

These books will open the door by allowing your child to talk about their experience. 

Even if your child HAS NOT EXPERIENCED an NDE, they will enjoy these books. It helps ALL children with their fear of death, letting them know that there is a BIGGER PICTURE and that ANGELS WATCH OVER US ALWAYS! They will get a glimpse of heaven and know that death is not something to fear.

Every child wants to know they are loved by God. When parents nourish a child's spiritual needs, they feed the soul, helping to heal mind and body. Children are comforted by these books because they answer questions about the deeper meaning of their lives in fun and adventurous stories!

Your child depends on YOU for love and support! Give them books that show them you care....

I wrote these books as a way to advocate for the spiritual needs of children. Mind, body and spirit work together in harmony to create healthy
kids. 
If one of these pieces is out of balance, children won't thrive.

I also encourage parents to learn more about NDEs. You may have had one yourself....It can explain so much about the way you feel and the way you see the world.

If your child had an NDE, they will need you to understand how they may have changed.

Facts About NDEs, Aftereffects & Helpful Hints for Parents - A vast amount of research has been conducted on NDEs since the 1970s. Many organizations have been formed to help children and parents who have experienced an NDE.

  • 70% of children report an NDE after their heart stops. - If your child's heart has ever stopped, be alert to the fact that they probably experienced an NDE.
  • 4% to 5% of the population worldwide has had or will have an NDE. - This may account for 15 million people in the United States alone. 
  • Even babies can experience an NDE. - Children often report NDEs once they become verbal. They can happen to newborns during the birth process or to babies of any age.
  • No scientific explanation can account for all aspects of an NDE or their after-effects. - This includes lack of oxygen, hallucinations or the presence of certain drugs.
  • A childhood NDE has many common features: - These may include "a loving nothingness", a "friendly voice", an out-of-body experience, a "safe light" or "safe dark place", no pain or fear, ability to see through walls and hear the thoughts of others, a life review, moving through a tunnel, feeling grown up in a child's body, a heavenly experience, encounters with angels, cities of light, being told by an angel that they have something special to do or that it is not their time....
  • Aftereffects include many of the following: - Altered biological patterns (amount of sleep); interest in universal love (vs. specific people); a lessening of child/parent bond; distress from news reports and violence; increased interest in service to others; increased spirituality; hunger for knowledge; increased intelligence; more mature than children their age; sensitivity to medications and light; communication with spirits (labeled as angels or guides by children and imaginary friends by parents); increased intuitive abilities; more creative or inventive; no fear of death; synesthesia (smelling colors, seeing sounds, etc.); desire to eat less meat as an adult (the opposite with children); possible depression or isolation (may be increased suicidality among teenagers); being driven toward a life purpose....
  • Helpful hints for parents include the following: - Listen, listen, listen - be prepared to show receptivity if a child describes near-death-like features; gently ask open-ended questions; anticipate changes in the child and be prepared to guide them; encourage child to write about or draw their experience; become knowledgable about NDEs, volunteer with your child....

      P. M. H. Atwater, L.H.D., Ph.D. (Hon) and Dr. Melvin Morse who are pioneers in the
      field of childhood NDEs.  Atwater discovered the aftereffects and birth trauma of
      children NDErs described above.  Dr. Morse is a pediatrician and neuroscientist who
      has also done research on the "God Module" - a spot in our brains that communicates
      with God and the universe.  Both researchers have also written many invaluable
