The near death experience of Penny Wittbrodt
Near-Death Experience: Healing Refractory Anaphylaxis Through Spiritual Surrender and Connection
Discover how a near-fatal allergic reaction led Penny Wittbrodt through distinct stages of the afterlife—from absolute darkness to divine encounter—and how accepting this spiritual reality became the key to overcoming a seemingly incurable physical disorder.
Short Summary
- Learn the precise timeline of Penny's sudden, life-threatening anaphylactic collapse while making a smoothie.
- Explore the realms experienced during clinical death, including the isolation of a self-created dark space and subsequent divine guidance.
- Understand the powerful spiritual prescription issued by God: overcoming physical illness required saying "yes" to sharing vulnerability and love.
- Identify critical lessons on conquering self-imposed isolation, controlling internal energy (thoughts), and recognizing ubiquitous divine presence.
This document details Penny Wittbrodt’s critical care event in 2002, where she experienced clinical death due to refractory anaphylaxis. The narrative uniquely maps out a journey through isolation, profound teaching moments with loved ones and the divine, and a subsequent physical healing tied directly to her willingness to engage spiritually and relationally. The structure provides actionable insights on transforming internal criticism into opportunity and choosing connection over self-protection.

My dad died this year and these documentaries have really helped me get over my sadness and also helped me to become a better kinder person to others. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you x
Penny I have watched your story quite a few times on different podcasts and I have been so excited to tell you this 😀: the ripple effect from the story you told reached all the way to my life in Lincoln Nebraska. After you talked about helping the woman who didn't have enough money in line, I prayed for God to put me in that situation to do the same thing. About six months later I was in line behind a woman and she was in distress and without enough funds, and started to put back things like hair bows and water bottles for her children at cetera.... God said "you prayed for this-- now go help her," and I approached her and offered the help. She began BAWLING and fell in my arms. God had me take care of her entire bill... We exchange numbers and became friends and she later let me know that she had just gone through a horrific fire and lost everything and her home, was suffering from horrible PTSD and just life and economic stress.... She came to my church and brought her children and it touched my heart so much when her son looked up at me and said, "you're the lady who helped my mom at the store? He said "she got in the car and she was crying and told us all about you..." So everyone please know that what might seem little to you can be very big to other people 😊 JUST LOVE
I am a medical doctor I have worked often in the icu I have heard 1st person stories from patients My personal assessment there is more truth here than our culture generally accepts Meditation helps to become more sensitive to spiritual experiences When a person has their own personal experiences your life changes I’m not speaking about a specific religion I’m talking about a change in one’s life Being open to it allows it. We all have Divinity within ourselves. God is a limited word Divinity is beyond our limited thinking only when a person has his or her own personal experiences will the truer journey happen Every day we have a chance to do better.

My son passed April 2025. These videos have brought me great peace and comfort. While nothing will fill the void here on earth, I know he’s ok and that I will see him again. I am compelled to do better, to be better, and to go forward with love and kindness.
My mother passed away yesterday. I have been nearly paralyzed with grief, even though I have a strong belief that I will see her again. In my sadness, I stumbled upon this joyful post. It has filled my heart with love and has given me energy to move forward with funeral plans. Thank you so much.
That part about building a jail for yourself hit me hard. My anxiety is hampering me from saying yes to friendships and opportunities. Thank to your story, I'm going to change.
My mother passed away suddenly 31 years ago at a young age of 54, I had a newborn baby and we lived in another country, and I couldn’t travel to her funeral, to say I was devastated is an understatement, I felt like my soul left my body and had a difficult time accepting her passing. The day, actually, the hour she was being entombed, I felt very tired and took a nap with my baby, at a very unusual time for me, but, as I fell asleep, I awoke right away to a very bright white light in my bedroom, I looked over to my baby, she was fast asleep, her soul hovering in the same position as her physical body connected by her umbilical cord. I looked down to myself, I was in the sitting position, my physical body also lying behind me, asleep. At that moment I saw my mom come into the room, she glided over to me, held my face in her hands and I got to say “I love you, mom”. No words were spoken, we communicated by telepathy. It is by far the my most cherished memory because I could see all the white light surrounding her and many friendly entities in the distance awaiting to take her home….. I knew she was safe and it brought me so much comfort!
This is the second time watching Penny's story and it's really given me hope. I lost my husband November 26, 2024. He was only 38, I'm widowed at 36 with 3 children together, our youngest was only 2 months old when he passed. I feel so much better having hope that he's not in a bad place or not just gone. Thank you for sharing your story!!! It's truly incredible and I absolutely believe it ❤
I realize this video is 2 yrs old but I’m watching this for the second time and it always reminds me of what kind of person I want to be. I’ll work hard and be better hopefully. Even at 74 this gives me hope I can be a better person every day. Thank you for this message and I hope you are having a wonderful life.
