Sheri Ann Stanley: Soulful Journey
What Researchers Found
The Story
Cheri Ann Stanley was an 8-year-old girl in 1980 when a truck hit her while she crossed the street after getting off the school bus in Massachusetts. She suffered severe injuries including a broken femur and ribs. During her NDE, she first floated above her body on the road and watched paramedics work on her. She then saw the ambulance leave without her and had a short life review. Later, in the hospital, she floated above her bed again as her family and a priest performed last rites. She entered a cross on the wall and moved into a white light. There, she met Jesus in heaven, held his hand, skipped happily as a healed child, and felt great peace. Jesus told her it was not her time and she must return. She resisted but eventually re-entered her body. After the NDE, Cheri struggled with panic attacks and PTSD. She kept the experience secret until her teens. She faced hardships like losing her mother, a miscarriage, abusive relationships, and financial losses. Through faith, she developed a personal relationship with Jesus, received signs from deceased loved ones, and now shares her story to help others feel less alone.
