#222 - Rosemary Bleeds To Death - Her NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Rosemary Thornton, a 58-year-old writer, had her near-death experience in 2018 after her husband's suicide in 2016 left her grieving. Diagnosed with stage two cancer, she bled out from a surgical biopsy error, collapsed at home, and was rushed to an ER where her heart stopped for over 10 minutes after receiving pain medication. She was catapulted out of her body and floated in peaceful blackness, realizing she was dead. She laughed and noticed her sense of humor remained. A massive spiritual being appeared and said, 'You are the image and likeness. I'm the original.' She recalled a prior infant NDE. She entered a white room where mist of light particles cleansed her soul. She approached a closed door marking no return but paused after seeing a nurse's grief in a vision and felt her pain. Told there was no wrong choice, she chose to return for restoration. Back in her body, she saw an angel of light. Tests showed her cancer and heart damage gone. She released guilt over her husband's death, forgave him, sold her possessions, moved to the Midwest, and wrote a book to inspire others against suicide.
