Woman Dies from Abusive Relationship : God Shows Her How to Leave (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Barbara Barol experienced a near-death event during a myogram procedure in 1987. She was 31 years old and preparing for back surgery after a disc injury from domestic abuse. An X-ray technician pushed the wrong button on the table, causing it to tilt incorrectly. This led to hyperventilation and cardiac arrest. Barbara left her body and floated above the scene. She felt wrapped in love and acceptance on the ceiling. A being like God appeared next to her, offering comfort. She watched the medical team call a code blue, perform CPR, and attach a heart monitor that flatlined. The being asked if she would return to her abusive marriage. Flashes of abuse incidents played out. She promised to leave her husband to protect her children. Her heart restarted after a precordial thump, and she returned to her body. After the NDE, Barbara divorced her abusive husband with a restraining order. She raised her children alone, then married a kind man after listing positive traits. She shared her experience to help others, gained a new view of consciousness surviving death, and focused on helping people and soul growth.
