Go Back and Be Happy
A devastating brain injury left Julie at the gates of heaven...
Author: Julie Papievis
An Oldmobile, driven by a teenager, crushed Julie's little sports car and left her in a coma, with an extremely severe brain stem injury. She finds herself at heaven's door, where she meets her two grandmothers. She steps eagerly forward, but her grandmothers tell her to return to her body. "I don't belong here yet. It isn't my time."
After a month she wakes to find herself trapped in a paralysed body. An athlete, she finds the helplessness almost unbearable, but is sustained by her memory of heaven.
Julie Papievis has a national speaking and lecturing career in the US as a survivor of traumatic brain injury.
