Jennifer Asbenson | 84 Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

”We imagine someone’s last moments in the hands of evil beyond terrifying when, in fact, the person is protected by shock. While in this state, pain is not felt and the greatest escape at that time is to cross over. When it happened to me I did not feel like I died. In fact I had never felt more alive in my life. I knew everything and feared nothing. I was a part of something huge” - Jennifer Asbenson, a true warrior.
