In this episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes Marilyn Yvette, who shares her profound near-death experience at the age of five.

Marilyn recounts the details of her drowning incident, the angelic figure that appeared to her, and the impact this experience has had on her life. Her guardian angel had long blond, curly hair down to her ankles. Among other things, the angel said, "Come to me, it's OK."

During the NDE, Marilyn felt "love magnified by millions." She would have gone with the angel and stayed if she could have.

She discusses her journey into spirituality, her work as an end-of-life doula, and her desire to help others understand and accept death. Marilyn also shares insights from her new book, 'Keeping the Light On,' which explores her spiritual journey and experiences.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of discussing death openly and the transformative power of near-death experiences. She also discusses her SDEs (shared death experiences) and gives advice for other experiencers.

Above all else, she was left with NO fear of death.
