Woman in Abusive Marriage Dies—God Reveals Why She Had to Go Back (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Barbara Barthole had two near-death experiences. The first occurred when she was 18 months old due to a fever that caused her to stop breathing. Her family managed to revive her before an ambulance arrived. The second experience happened when she was 31 during a myogram procedure. She felt faint and lost consciousness. Barbara left her body and observed the chaos in the room. She encountered a presence she felt was God and expressed a desire to return to her children. After realizing she needed to leave her abusive husband, she agreed to return. She was revived after doctors performed a precardial thump. After the NDE, Barbara became a volunteer and started a support group for others with similar experiences. She now has a new perspective on life and death, emphasizing love and acceptance.
