My punishment came from my own emotions of guilt and shame that I experienced so painfully during the bubble movie review of my former life.

Ping!

This is hogwash and similar stories have been proven many times over to be traumatization or/and medicine administered etc. She had the additional fears of having aborted her child and if or not she’d survive...lots going on in that room.

Sometimes it is simply the case of “dissociation”...where one mentally takes themself away...but never actually...trauma can do that. Similar to when you’re driving and you pass thru towns but don’t remember going thru them...there but not there. You’re in the zone.

My mother arrived later, with "religious" reinforcements trying to get a confession of sins. I was mildly amused when a Nun appeared and begun to pray for me, asking God to forgive me. I knew I was already forgiven.

Really, this Catholic was forgiven without going to sacramental confession to confess this serious sin? Please note her disparagement of the fact that her mother had brought "religious" reinforcements so that she could confess her sins. Apparently, she didn't confess and it doesn't sound as though she returned to the Church.

She is lucky that she was given a second chance and that her child survived. But this supposed "near death" experience does not take the place of genuine repentance. As a Catholic, even a lapsed Catholic, she is held to a higher standard than just wishing her sins away. She apparently didn't have the humility to ask for God's forgiveness, she just presumed that she received it because she regretted her act but regretting one's act is not genuine contrition.
