#241 - Sharon Milliman's 4 Lightning Strikes and 4 NDE's
What Researchers Found
The Story
Sharon Milliman, a woman from West Virginia, had a near-death experience at age 43 when lightning struck her right shoulder while she sat on her back steps during a storm. She left her body and felt no pain. She entered her house and saw unfamiliar burnt-gold surroundings. A formless loving presence filled her with peace and moved her sideways through pink and gold clouds to a vibrant garden. She met her two deceased brothers, who looked like young men. They joined others for a loving life review shown as a black-and-white movie, with no judgment. She explored heavenly sites, including a glorious city, healing pools, and places for children and animals. She met Jesus, who assured her of his presence. God appeared as a man and taught her to see him in all creation, including herself. Angels showed future world events in a calm lake, stressing choices can change them. She returned to her body after arguing against it. After the NDE, Sharon changed completely. She speaks carefully to avoid hurting others, takes responsibility for her words, and shares her story to spread God's love and the message that there is no death.
