Recalling the painful moment, Kat said she immediately feared the worst after learning her son had been struck by a vehicle.
Speaking to AJPARR, she said:
“Mark had been hit by a car.
“I knew the cars drove really fast in that area and I felt a failing inside of me.
“I was convinced he would live, but then a nurse asked if I wanted to call a priest.
“I didn’t want one there bothering the doctors; I just wanted them to focus on saving him.
“But a priest came anyway.
“I was crying and sick to my stomach as they said he was unable to be saved.
“I always had a disbelief that God existed; but, after this, the feeling turned into fury.
“And I hated every thought of him.”
Kat said the loss completely changed her outlook on life and deepened her disbelief in God.
Years later, Kat said she was involved in a serious car accident that left her with severe injuries, including internal bleeding to her lower torso.
She explained that while receiving treatment in hospital, she lost consciousness and believes she experienced what she describes as a near-death experience.
According to Kat, she said she saw her husband and two sons praying beside her hospital bed while doctors fought to save her life.
She also claimed that she felt herself leaving her body and seeing four people she had never met before.
