After being declared medically dead for an astounding 27 minutes, one woman had an interesting reaction when she was revived. She wrote a disturbing note that seemed to point to one intriguing thing.

Some people survive and ‘come back to life’ after officially dying, but for most people on Earth, death is completely final since our bodies shut down and the brain stops getting blood and oxygen.

According to scientific research, our brains continue to function for a brief time after the rest of our bodies have died. This can cause you to hear terrifying noises and watch your life flash before your eyes, but in some cases, miraculous events may cause you to reject the hope for a better future and return to the world of the living.

That is precisely what occurred to Tina Hines, who, with the assistance of medical professionals, was able to evade death and then promptly turned to a pen and paper to write down a message that was obviously crucial.

How did she come back to life?

Tina Hines had a heart attack in February 2018 while hiking in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband Brian, according to UNILAD. After Tina experienced a medical emergency, he dialled 911 right away and tried CPR on her to try to save her life before rescuers arrived.

Emergency services reported that they had to bring Tina “back to life” four times while en route to the closest hospital. Once they arrived at the medical facility, they put her on a defibrillator.

After her heart attack, Tina was able to ‘cheat’ death and essentially died for 27 minutes before being revived in the hospital. However, this was able to bring her health back to stability.

But what really shocked many was what she did when she woke up again: she scrawled an intriguing note on a piece of paper for her family to read.

What did she write after being resuscitated?

When Tina woke up, she requested for a pen and paper right away. She seemed to write the words “it’s real” in her handwriting, though it took some time for her husband to figure it out.

“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 seems that Tina’s message was her admission that she had briefly seen Heaven before passing away and that she felt compelled to quickly tell everyone about it as soon as she woke up.

Tina provided her own version of what she saw when her life had faded away, but this is not the first instance of someone who passed away briefly having the same experience. One man who died after being struck by lightning had a similar revelation.

“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.”

Since then, she has authored a book called “Heaven – It’s Real… How Dying Changes Living,” which recounts her near-death experience and encounter with Jesus in heaven while providing guidance on overcoming life’s obstacles, such as relationships, anxiety, sadness, and fear.
