Woman Dies And Speaks with God | Near Death Experience | NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Barbara Bartolome had a near-death experience at age 31 in Santa Barbara, California. It occurred during a myelogram test before back surgery. An X-ray technician pushed the wrong button, which sent dye into her brain and caused her heart to stop. She floated above her body and watched the medical team do CPR, connect an oxygen mask, and attach a heart monitor. She saw her heart flatline. A being she felt was God stood next to her. She asked to return to protect her young children from an abusive husband. The being showed quick flashes of the abuse and her past efforts to fix the marriage. She promised to leave him. As doctors thumped her chest to restart her heart, she returned to her body and opened her eyes. After the NDE, Barbara left her abusive marriage. She started a support group for near-death experiencers in Santa Barbara. She now helps others share their stories, travels to conferences, and focuses her life on spreading love and kindness.
“next to me of what I felt with God and I but I was a spiritual person and I think”
This NDE features extreme medical crisis with flatline and resuscitation, detailed OBE perceptions from an impossible vantage point including specific actions and conversations, immediate reporting to medical staff eliciting shock and implied verification of multiple details. Limitations include same-room access (not remote) and self-reported verifications without explicit post-event confirmations of unique elements.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
