I’ve known of women to die from that complication. Some survival stories are just amazing!

Gone until prayer called her back.

Amazing story. No drama, so matter of fact.

“I realize through all of this that one, we really don’t really have control of our lives,” she said. “The day you go is the day that you were destined to go.”

Beautiful and simple!

I am confused. It says she was dead for 45 minutes, but it also says they worked on her for 3 hours. Is there something I’m missing?

I wondered about the 45 minutes vs. 3 hours, as well....

It happens in other places. My mom was burned, died, then came back. She never told anyone what she experienced till many years later, but she was very religious after that.

I guess one must experience it for themselves to really believe.

Good that she was revived, but she must find a good cardiologist asap. Her health will remain unstable for a long time. This was but a warning.

"You're not coming here. This is not your time, you know, you're not supposed to be here, you're going to wait a while, but you're not staying here"

I hope they meant "just not now" when they said "you're not coming here".

Because I know where I'm going when I go.
Do y'all have that certainty? If not, you can....

Near-death survivors often recall being asked `by the Light’ if their work on this Earth is done. When they say `no, I still have so much left to do’, they are told, “Then you had better go back & finish your tasks” and they re-emerge into consciousness.

I hope the day I am destined to go is not a day that I have a lot of earthly activities planned. If I have a busy day ahead of me, I wish to finish it out.

I had a (somewhat) similar experience about 25 years ago, I was revived after an unknown amount of time (minutes) when a drug reaction shut me off. I don’t remember any of it or even being aware that I had gone unconscious. Sort of like missing time. The Almighty had me in the care of professionals and I still thank him every day for it 25 years later. They do his work every single day.

I had assumed she had an arrhythmia, and I’ve done CPR for two hours and gotten the patient back when that was the cause.

But Amniotic fluid embolism? Are they sure? That is highly fatal, and survivors of smaller embolism often have clotting problems.

IF true, it’s a miracle.

45 mins was the actual time, and 3 hours is the billable time.
