What an amazing woman! And such an amazing story she has – overcoming such undeserved negativity in her life that would have understandably caused most people to simply give up.
I'm just going to put this out there: in many respects, I had a terrible childhood – suffering severe physical and abuse at the hands of my 'religious' parents – and then despicable sexual abuse as an adolescent at the hands of my grandfather – a high C of E priest, and WW I flying ace. I was fortunate to be referred to a psychiatrist that had a 60+ year career – he was a brilliant man with a Ph.D (topic: PTSD) who had recently entered private practice after retiring as head of psychiatry at a major hospital in a nearby city. This really came in handy after I developed chronic PTSD in the mid-2000s, following my near-death at the hands of the gastroenterologist that removed some pre-cancerous polyps from my colon during a colonoscopy he performed on me. His 'work' (he not being a qualified surgeon*) resulted in a massive GI bleed two weeks later, that both he and my GP denied until I nearly died at home three days after it began.
My psychiatrist told me I was the second-worst case he'd had. He diagnosed me in the mid-70s with Major Depressive Disorder, and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy that further compounded my case – causing depression, short-term memory problems, and marked insomnia. However, with his care, I was able to complete post-secondary education and find work in the Computing and Network fields, at a major university, recently retiring fairly comfortably.
And now, this being my third time having cancer (prostate, Stage 3) following Stage 1 bowel cancer and Stage 2 tongue cancer – both successfully cured with surgery at nearly the last minute in both cases – I'm now struggling with not only severe depression but horrible anxiety that seems to only worsen over time. Sadly, I have a paradoxical reaction to long-term psychiatric drugs – only alprazolam helps, and despite using it for several years with no increase in dosage, my psychiatrist was forced to discontinue my script. Also very frustrating, was that I simply stopped using it – suffering zero side-effects of 'discontinuation' – in other words, I was never addicted – the very reason the drug became so unpopular for use outside of a hospital. And now, I'm unable to find a doctor willing to give me even lorazepam.
But after carefully listening to Barbara Bartolome's fascinating account, my skepticism has started to wane, and I actually find myself starting to wonder if the services of a genuine medium might be of some help to me. But how do I find one? I don't know anyone that has used one, and whenever I try looking around in my area, they all seem to be totally obvious fakes and phonies – I'm sorry.
But now, my biggest fear is that I don't actually have a soul. Or perhaps I feel this way because I really do not wish to meet my parents, etc in whatever the afterlife is or may be.
That's just how it seems to me. After suffering so much pain and terrible misfortune in life (more than I could possibly explain in this already-too-long YouTube comment) it's left me with the steadfast belief that if some part of me does happen to actually continue after this life, it'll merely be as a ghost – trapped in some dreadful realm from which there is no escape.
My apologies for such a long comment, but Barbara Bartolome's account was so totally fascinating, that it has stirred something in me. Perhaps a faint hope, I do not know.
*always try to have your colonoscopy performed by a general surgeon – they are more experienced in dealing with the kinds of problems and complications that may arise during and following a colonoscopy
Iβve never had a NDE but I love listening to these experiences and now have little to no fear of transitioning. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us!!! β€β€β€
Twice, I had a "voice" guide me. Both times while I was driving and was thinking about not doing something I was going to do and I "Heard" a voice in the car with me, a male energy voice, telling me to do the thing I was thinking about doing. I haven't experienced this since. It makes me wonder why I don't hear the guidance anymore.
It was very "nourishing" to have the 2d part of the interview directed out of strictly recalling the NDE, especially the last chapter, whatever each person's beliefs. Thank you Barbara and Anthony for this presentation which I discover after… 8 years !
My mom died and i cannot shed tears because i know she is still alive, my mother is the only woman in this world that love me unconditional, the one and only woman
It should be a requirement for all medical students to write an essay on NDEs. There are plenty of legit retelling of experiences from many,many sane people. They also need empathy training .
206 things that you wrote in your book for the man of your dreams. There are 206 bones in the human body you literally built your perfect man that became your husband 2 years later. Love this π₯°
My god! π€£ you just helped me realize I died when I was 5. My uncle tried to teach me how to swim the same way my gramps taught him, which was by picking me up and throwing me in a pool. But my gramps threw him off a pier in the ocean which we have way more buoyancy in. And I totally drowned. Woke up to my brother doing cpr on me and my uncle David yelling at me asking why didnβt I just swim

Very articulate description, and I feel the same way about the easing of grief when my parents passed
Seems like women tend to hold onto their past traumas much longer and more intensely than men do

But how we can apply this learnings daily
Great story, Barbara! . . . william

My mom died and i cannot shed tears because i know she is still alive, my mother is the only woman in this world that love me unconditional, the one and only woman
Thank you, definitely a message of hope and blessing.

I left you a message on FB. π
The mom who said she needed to cry and the rude surgeon.. This stuff bothers me
β€π
Cat wants me back.
I'll do as you say.
But I want to forgive Cat.
β€π
the doctor wasn't mad at her, but mad at himself at ignoring his own common sense and reason
I would like to know how people who've had NDEs attain ESP abilities but I think it could never be explained.
206 things that you wrote in your book for the man of your dreams. There are 206 bones in the human body you literally built your perfect man that became your husband 2 years later. Love this π₯°
The scrapbook store had to close. How do you explain that if the store was her soul plan?
I could listen to you talk for hours thank you so much for sharing your story so perfectly
What did the nanny mean by temper tantrums?
