Near-Death Experience - Angie Fenimore - Suicide Is Not A Solution
What Researchers Found
The Story
Angie Fenimore, a mother struggling with depression, self-loathing from childhood abuse, and feelings of being a bad parent, attempted suicide by overdosing on pills and slashing her wrists. During her near-death experience, she separated from her body and reviewed her entire life, feeling everyone's emotions and gaining understanding of her parents' love and struggles. A male presence accompanied her. She entered darkness surrounded by other spirits reliving their suicide agony. A voice asked, 'Is this what you really want?' A being of light, identified as God, approached and explained that life is not hers to take, it is meant to be hard for growth, and treating others well matters. She felt the Savior's presence and his suffering for her. She saw the harm her death would cause her children, especially her oldest son. She chose to return. After returning, Angie realized she must overcome trials to grow. She found happiness, had a third child, and wrote a book to discourage suicide and promote forgiveness and service. Her life improved as she lived in the light.
