Letter writer: Story of survival was powerful, positive

Thank you for publishing this awesome article [“Worlds in Collision: Near-death Experiences in WNC,” April 13, Xpress].

I really appreciated the story by Sandra Bear Davis [“The Angel Wrapped Around Me”]. I live pretty close to where her accident was, and it really upset me when it happened. I read about how her son, daughter-in-law and grandchild were killed and felt pity for this woman. I couldn’t imagine wanting to keep living.

Hearing her story of survival and about her angel guides was very powerful and positive. It truly moved me.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

  1. Ms Davis’ story moved me in a positive healing way too. I’ve always been a big fan of fiction too- angels, boats that carry animals, immaculate conception, give me more.
