(Barbara H Whitfield RT and Charles L Whitfield MD) After my near-death experience (NDE) I (Barbara) became a researcher at the University of Connecticut Medical School looking at the after-effects of an NDE.

I’ve been to the other side (or as close as a living human being can get) and between our colleagues and us, we have interviewed thousands of Near-Death Experiencers. There are other researchers all over the world getting the same answer we did: Death is not the grim reaper, it’s a trip into the Light!
While working at The University I (Barbara) traveled around New England giving talks about NDEs and helping people die to groups including hospitals, Hospice and other groups like Compassionate Friends. During the coffee break, people came up and shared with me and I heard the most wonderful memories. One eye doctor told me that when he was an Intern on his first delivery, he witnessed a ray of light from above go into the mother’s belly.
We were at an author’s conference when Barbara met one of her editors in person after years of working on line with him. He introduced her to his wife, a rather large woman wearing something akin to a Mumu. Barbara could see two almost transparent orbs radiating light behind the editor’s wife, one orb behind and just above her shoulders.
“I then did the worst possible thing I could do and asked her when she was due.
“She told me she wasn’t pregnant and stormed away.
“As mortified as I was over my bluntness… I got through the dinner and after, she came back up to me with her husband. She told me they were adopting and had just found out a few days earlier that they were adopting twins.
“That was the fastest vindication I ever went through. She and I celebrated the comforting idea that these two souls waiting to be born were following her, bonding with her even before their being birthed by the biological mother.”
The people who have had an NDE tell us that the baby’s soul is there early on and some say it comes and goes. Did our Ophthalmologist see the soul of the baby rush in? Did I see two souls visiting their soon to be Mom? They weren’t following their physical bodies around. They were following their adoptive mom.
Because we are naturally spiritual, we want to believe that if the biological mother intentionally aborts, the baby’s soul will go on to another – hopefully.
We wish that women who don’t want to go through motherhood for the next 20 years would think about adoption. There are many couples who can’t conceive and want to adopt. If someone is pregnant and not ready to commit to parenting a child — is carrying a child for nine months too much to ask to give a child a good life with a couple who want a child?
Two more thoughts for women wanting to abort their “accident.”
I had a miscarriage many years ago in my 5th month. I was told by my OB after a D and C procedure, “The fetus wasn’t viable! Oh! And there were two.” End of story.
I was quietly devastated that I had lost not only one baby, but two. Back then it was “over and done.” But my hormones were telling me something different. They were in a tennis match. And it took me months and longer to feel “normal” again. It was a roller-coaster ride.
The same physical reactions happen after abortions.
We are in private practice doing individual and group psychotherapy for those who are traumatized and have PTSD.
We’ve listened to women who are telling us about their abortions and it doesn’t matter if it was yesterday or 30 years ago. They have numbed out to the emotional pain they avoided back then. But the consequence for numbing out to the pain is numbing out to most other feelings—painful and joyful and even to life and possibly peace.
There’s got to be a better way. We believe that adoption is the healthiest and kindest answer.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
Psychology is the study of the nature of mind. Philosophy is the use of that mind in life. Both are critically important to gain an understanding of as they are aspects of the self. All you do and experience will pass through these gateways of being. The preceding information provides an overview of this self-knowledge, offering points to consider that people often don’t take the time to contemplate. With the choice to gain self-awareness, one can begin to see how their being works. With the wisdom of self-awareness, one has the tools to master their being and life in general, bringing order to chaos through navigating the challenges with the capacity for right action.

Embedded Throughout This Article
I had an abortion about 30 years ago, yes, the numbing is true and it stayed with me a very long time. But that would-be-child, was no accident – I wanted that child, but I knew if I had that child or even carried it to term the father would have made my life hell. He was an alcoholic, narcissist-gas-lighter, that I was in love with, but I didn’t know that was what he was at the time, it took me a very long time to heal from his emotional abuse – can you even imagine what that child would have turned out to be like having a father like that? I would not have legally been able to keep that child away from him, no matter what. On another note – I was created by rape – not by love (by her husband, but at the time it wasn’t called rape – it was a woman’s obligation to have sex in her marriage, no matter how that sex happened), can you imagine what that was like for my mother? do you have any idea what that knowledge did to me when I found out that I am a product of rape? I had a very hellish childhood, full of emotional and physical abuse, I wished I was aborted, and then when I found out about how I was created-how I came into being – good gawd people!!! Think about it. I have come a very long way in my healing and am doing very well in my life but it has been a struggle and I don’t think I was a very good mom either – my kids weren’t subjected to the abuse I went through and I thought I gave them a decent life, but my daughter won’t get the mental help she needs, and her kids are either going to end up with addictions and/or in jail – and there’s nothing I can do at this point – so onto another generation of emotionally messed up kids – how many generations – how many unenlightened offspring is it going to take to heal this generational wound? I would love to see more help for women who are in relationships like my mother and I were in. We need to give women all the information they could possibly need before they are faced with the decision to abort or adopt – like in Junior high and high school in health class, because if my mom couldn’t get the help, if I couldn’t get the help, if my daughter couldn’t/wouldn’t get the help and her children don’t have the info – it just goes on and on and on. There just isn’t enough support for women.
I wanted my would-be-child, but I chose to not bring another human being into this world that would have been subjected to emotional abuse by the father of that would-be-child. He was an alcoholic, narcissist-gas-lighter. I didn’t know that was what he was at the time and it took me a very long time to heal from his emotional abuse. Can you even imagine if I had brought that would-be-child into this world what he or she would have turned out to be like having a father like that? There is zero legal standing for a woman/mother to keep a child away from a narcissistic gaslighting parent. He would never have allowed me to give the child up for adoption and would have fought hard to take the child from me. The only option was to make sure I didn’t bring another human being into existence to save them from abuse.
