Chapter 1: The Prelude to Change
Gianna Mauceri's life took a sudden turn following a series of ominous signs. The initial warning came when her car key broke in the ignition, followed by the misfortune of a flat tire right outside her home. It seemed as though the universe was urging her to take a break from her hectic routine. However, like many, Gianna ignored these intuitive nudges to slow down.
On the day of the accident, an unsettling feeling settled in her stomach, hinting that something dreadful loomed ahead. She attributed this anxiety to her dissatisfaction with life and her struggles with self-acceptance, leading her to confide in her sister, expressing a desire to escape the burdens of existence.
Then came the fateful drive on the freeway. Gianna was struck by a drunk driver heading the wrong way, and in the chaos that ensued, she braced for the worst. Yet, in the midst of the flames and devastation, her consciousness transcended to a serene space where she felt enveloped in safety. She heard a reassuring voice telling her she would survive the ordeal.
In a vivid vision, she witnessed first responders rescuing her from the wreckage and placing her on a stretcher. When Gianna regained consciousness, she saw flashing lights nearby, realizing her vehicle obstructed three lanes of traffic.
A calming voice reassured her that everything would be alright, as an ambulance arrived to transport her to the ICU where her journey truly began.

Gianna's next recollection was of the enchanting canals of Venice, a place she had visited during her time as a cruise ship employee. The memory of her injured body returned, and she understood that her presence in this beautiful realm was linked to her recent accident.
Suddenly, she found herself in a cosmic expanse resembling a starry night sky, where her physical form dissolved into a flickering light. This transformation felt liberating as she floated among other lights that grew larger as they approached.

One angel, identifying as Archangel Michael, assured her that he had been protecting her throughout her life. Another angel, Archangel Raphael, expressed his role in aiding her healing and supporting her family during this challenging time.
The remaining angels, though silent, had accompanied her throughout her existence, guiding her through the preordained events of her life—events that included the accident which led to her near-death experience.

Subsection 1.1.1: The Cosmic Decision
In a profound exchange without words, Gianna sought clarity from the angels about her presence in this ethereal realm. They explained that this starry environment served as a transitional space where she could contemplate her choices—whether to return to her earthly life or continue on a different path.
She was transported back to the familiar beauty of the Venetian canals, where she reveled in the freedom of movement, performing handstands and yoga poses. However, she realized that returning to Earth would limit her physical capabilities.
As she wandered, her questions prompted the lights around her to dim, leading her back to the angels for guidance. One significant inquiry was about the consequences of not returning. The angels revealed that she would need to start anew, as her earthly intentions had yet to be fulfilled.
They illuminated moments of self-criticism, demonstrating how neglect and lack of self-love had shaped her journey. They emphasized that both the joys and hardships of her life were essential parts of her human experience—integral to her growth.
