Woman Who ‘Died for 27 Minutes’ Shares Haunting Message from the Other Side
In a remarkable account that has captivated many, Tina Hines, a mother from Phoenix, Arizona, experienced a near-death event that left her with a profound message.
In February 2018, as she prepared for a hike with her husband, Tina suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, collapsing in their driveway.
Her husband, Brian, performed CPR, reviving her momentarily before she was resuscitated multiple times by paramedics en route to the hospital. In total, Tina was clinically dead for approximately 27 minutes.
Upon regaining consciousness in the hospital, unable to speak due to intubation, Tina urgently gestured for a pen and paper.
She wrote the words “It’s real,” and when asked to elaborate, she pointed upwards, indicating a reference to heaven. Once able to speak, Tina described vivid visions of a bright, welcoming light and a figure she identified as Jesus, standing before radiant gates, enveloped in a warm, golden glow.
Tina’s niece, Madie Johnson, was so moved by this experience that she had the phrase “It’s real” tattooed on her wrist, replicating her aunt’s handwriting. She shared the story on social media, expressing how the event strengthened her faith and provided a tangible connection to eternal hope.
Tina’s experience adds to the growing number of near-death accounts that offer insights into what some believe lies beyond this life. While interpretations vary, such stories continue to inspire reflection on life, death, and what may come after.
