Woman who died for 27 minutes scribbled haunting message when she ‘returned to life’

She frantically wrote the message after being brought back to life four times

One woman had a fascinating reaction once she was resuscitated after being medically proclaimed dead for a staggering 27 minutes, as she scribbled a haunting message that appeared to indicate one fascinating thing.

For almost everyone on Earth death is utterly final, as our body shuts down and the brain stops receiving blood and oxygen, but there are some who manage to survive and 'come back to life' after technically passing away.

Scientific studies have revealed that our brain is alive for a short period after the rest of our body has died, and that can lead to you hearing some horrifying sounds and seeing your life flash before your eyes, but miraculous circumstances can lead some to reject the light at the end of the tunnel and return to the world of the living.

That's exactly what happened to Tina Hines, as she managed to cheat death with the help of doctors, and turned to a pen and paper immediately after to write down a clearly important message.

How did she come back to life?

As reported by UNILAD, Tina Hines suffered a heart attack in February 2018 while on a hike in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband Brian. He called 911 immediately after she suffered the medical emergency, and attempted CPR on Tina in an attempt to keep her alive before paramedics made it to them.

While on the way to the nearest hospital, emergency services explained that they had to bring Tina 'back to life' four separate times, and then she was placed on a defibrillator once they made it to the medical facility.

This managed to return Tina to a stable condition, but she technically managed to 'cheat' death following her heart attack, and had essentially passed away for 27 minutes before finally being resuscitated in the hospital.

It was what she did as soon as she woke back up that left many stunned though, as she wrote a fascinating message on a bit of paper for her family to decipher.

What did she write after being resuscitated?

Tina immediately asked for a pen and paper when she woke up, and appeared to scribble out the message 'it's real', although it did take a while for her husband to decipher the handwriting.

"We figured out she wrote I-T-S-R-E-A-L. 'What's it's real?' And I go, 'The pain? The hospital?' She's slowly nodding your head. Eyes are closed. She's fully vented," her husband Brian recounted.

"No, and then my daughter goes, 'Heaven?' And she goes - she nods yes."

It appears as if Tina's message was her revealing that she saw Heaven in the short period when she had died, and needed to rush to inform everyone of that once she had woken up.

This isn't the first time that someone who briefly passed away had the same experience, as one man who died after being struck by lightning had a similar revelation, but Tina offered her own interpretation of what she saw when her life had faded away.

"Unbelievable rest and peacefulness of what I was experienced was Jesus standing there with his arms wide open," she explained to the Christian Broadcasting Network, "and right behind Jesus standing there was this incredible glow. It was so real, the colours were so vibrant."

She has since written a book titled 'Heaven - It's Real... How Dying Changes Living' about her near-death experience and meeting with Jesus in Heaven, and it tells her story while offering advice about dealing with the challenges of everyday life like anxiety, depression, fear, and relationships.
