Kathy had a near-death experience at age 7 during an inpatient hospital tonsillectomy. During the surgery she left her body and looked down from ceiling level at the tops of the heads of the OR staff and onto her own body, which she recognized as herself, exclaiming, “That’s ME!”  In utter confusion, she then found herself “spinning up through a gray tornado to a cloud garden” where she met Jesus, who gave her loving comfort. However, thinking about her brother who had also been in tonsillectomy surgery, Kathy was instantly by his hospital bed watching him as as he safely slept. Kathy remembered nothing else other than awakening after surgery aware that she had a purpose in being alive even though her 7 year-old self had no idea what it was or even what it meant.

​Kathy’s purpose -- to promote faith, to lessen the fear of death and to be kind through service to others -- has been manifesting for a long time now, particularly in various leadership roles in Spokane IANDS and Seattle IANDS. In these capacities she has been able to help other NDEr’s navigate the myriad common aftereffects of an NDE and help them “connect the dots,” as she was able to do while assimilating her own experience.

Have you seen the Netflix series Surviving Death?
The inaugural episode includes footage at a Seattle IANDS meeting.  Heavily featured is Jose Hernandez who shared his NDE at that meeting as well as Kimberly Clark Sharp addressing attendees and counseling new NDEr Dannet Cramer.
Episode 1 on Near-Death Experiences features Seattle IANDS. We feel that our group was well-presented in that episode and encourage people to watch it for an introduction to our organization.  We have also had  inquiries about the phenomena covered in the other episodes of the series. Seattle IANDS is not affiliated with any of the people featured in those episodes and had no input regarding the content of the other episodes
