This feeling persisted as she navigated the challenges of building a career and raising her children. Life was never easy, before, during, or after her Near-Death Experience (NDE). In 1999, Kathy became critically ill with a deadly flu that left her hospitalized, placed on a ventilator, and in an induced coma for three weeks while she fought for her life. The doctors told her that the coma-inducing medications would put her into a deep sleep with no memories of the experience. However, her experience was anything but forgettable. After everything went black, Kathy found herself in a hellish realm filled with deep anguish, before the heavens opened and she was lovingly greeted by her former partner, who welcomed her "home." Since her NDE, Kathy has worked to integrate this profound experience on the other side. Her involvement with IANDS (the International Association of Near-Death Studies) and the people she met there helped her understand what happened and why. Today, Kathy lives with the mission to bring joy to others through her daily interactions, always striving to embody the heavenly instructions she received: to be loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, encouraging, grateful, non-judgmental, and useful.

In the aftermath, it was coming home to her 2-year-old son, Morgan, who helped her heal her broken heart. Many years later, in 2008, while Morgan was studying in China, he and a group of friends decided to travel to Tibet and visit Mount Everest. Upon arriving, they immediately boarded a bus toward Base Camp. However, as they journeyed on, Morgan and several friends began to experience severe altitude sickness. Despite this, they pressed on and arrived at Base Camp that night. Morgan, however, continued to show worsening signs of illness. The following morning, when Morgan’s friends tried to wake him, he did not respond. They quickly loaded him onto a bus in an attempt to descend to a lower altitude, but it soon became clear that Morgan was slipping away. One of his friends called Elizabeth, informing her of Morgan’s grave condition. She asked them to hold the phone close to his ear. As she gently spoke to him, expressing her love, Elizabeth suddenly felt his presence, even from thousands of miles away. In that moment, she felt Morgan’s love and his embrace, and she knew that he had transitioned. A deep sense of peace and love filled her heart. In the days that followed, Elizabeth began attending grief support groups.

This led to the founding of Helping Parents Heal, a worldwide organization that supports thousands of parents who have children transitioned. Through this foundation, these shining light parents find healing by connecting with each other and their children on the other side.
