Doctor Dies and Meets God On The Other Side, Is Sent Back With A Message (Near Death Experience)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Mary Joe Rini was a psychologist at a cancer center. In 2003, on Holy Saturday, she suffered a ruptured aneurysm while lifting weights at a gym in Lufkin, Texas. She felt sharp neck pain, collapsed, had a seizure, and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Doctors found her head full of blood from internal bleeding. During a hospital procedure on Monday night, she saw a small light in the room's corner that expanded into a comforting tunnel. She left her body, viewed it on the table with her husband Ron, and noted the room's luminescent pink color. She met God, who said she could not stay. She listed her good deeds, but God asked if she had loved anyone as she was loved there. She admitted no, and He told her she could do better. She returned to her body. After the NDE, she recovered quickly but felt deep depression because earthly love seemed plastic compared to the divine love. She reconciled with God, whom she had resented from seeing suffering in her work. She now lives preparing for death, focusing on selfless acts of love. This made her a better wife, mother, and therapist, and she views suffering as a path closer to God.
