Vania Sees Her Father and JESUS During Her NDE (Near Death Experience)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Vanya Valtryani, a 45-year-old Brazilian woman living in Provo, Utah, suffered a stroke while dancing at a traditional Brazilian party. Two veins burst in her brain, leading to surgery and a three-day coma. Doctors gave her 0% chance of survival. During the NDE, Vanya left her body and watched doctors work on her from above. She felt complete peace and love. She saw her deceased father at the foot of her bed, looking young and whole. He opened his arms, and she telepathically told him she had to stay with her body. Later, back in her body, she felt alone, cold, and in pain. She prayed for help. A presence appeared on her left, which she realized was Jesus with eyes like flames. He held her hand and telepathically praised her son's missionary work and her husband's faithfulness. He repeated three times that everything would be all right. His love surrounded her like a warm blanket, easing her pain. After waking, Vanya made a full recovery, called a miracle by hospital staff. She relearned basic skills over 40 days. She now shares her story in a book and online to affirm Jesus is real. She has no fear of death and focuses on building relationships and unconditional love.
