“…Once in a while, we deal with persons who I think of as stuck, very often because they’re in a trauma loop.
“…Most people who die traumatically quickly complete their transition into the afterlife. Only a few need the kind of assistance my prayer partners and I have been asked to provide…[We] are part of a continuum of care. Many of the people whom we help were so traumatized that, in healthcare terms, they were in intensive care.”
In his book, Fr. Nathan addresses questions like:
- Is death survivable?
- What does he do to help people cross over?
- Does time exist in the afterlife?
- Do deceased relatives help us adjust to moving through our deaths?
