Woman Died For 20 Minutes From Surgery Complications; She Met God And Received A Healing (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Shenice Chantel, a mother of three girls from Central Arkansas, had a near-death experience due to cardiac arrest. This happened after complications from tubal ligation surgery following childbirth in July 2019. She flatlined for 20 minutes despite multiple shocks and CPR. During the NDE, Shenice left her body and entered darkness. She moved through a tunnel toward a bright light full of love. She heard prayers for her and saw futuristic sounds and colors. She entered a garden and focused on a reddish lily flower, which symbolized her rebirth and healing. She felt peace and no time passing. Then, she was sent back to her body. After the NDE, Shenice faced stage two congestive heart failure, a stroke, and other health issues. She became disabled and missed milestones with her children. This led to depression and anxiety. She saw a psychiatrist, wrote a book called God Within the Lily for therapeutic healing, and now emphasizes love, faith, and the temporary nature of earthly struggles.
“bright light light and it wasn't a light that was like very very heated and fire”
Despite a severe medical crisis involving 20 minutes of clinical death and CPR, the NDE contains no veridical perceptions of physical events, conversations, or details inaccessible to normal senses. The experience is entirely internal and spiritual (tunnel, light, God, garden), with no attempts at verification or corroborated claims.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
