Lisa Jones On Her Shared Near Death Experience With Her Husband
What Researchers Found
The Story
Lisa was the wife of Ian, who died from lymphoma on February 22, 2004, after years of treatment. While praying in her daughter's room as Ian lay dying, she fell asleep and experienced a near-death event. Two angels escorted her soul out of her body to heaven, a place with golden rolling hills and a castle-like structure. She heard choir singing and trumpets, then an announcement of Ian Sharp's arrival. From a balcony, she saw his soul family gather excitedly as a giant door opened and they welcomed him. A knock pulled her back into her body. After the experience, Lisa felt deep comfort and no fear for Ian's soul. She heard his voice confirming heaven was awesome and has received ongoing guidance from him through signs and apparitions. She quit her finance job, wrote a book, and now mentors others on grief and spiritual connections.
