What happens when we die? One Kansas grandmother believes she knows the answer — because she went there.

In 2019, Charlotte Holmes from Wichita went for a simple check-up. Moments later, her heart stopped. For 11 minutes, doctors said she was gone — but Charlotte said her spirit was elsewhere. “I could see trees, grass… everything swaying with the music,” she recalled softly. “Everything in Heaven worships God.”

She described walking through dazzling light, greeted by loved ones who looked young again — healthy, radiant, smiling. Then she saw a toddler. “God told me, ‘That’s your child. They continue to grow in Heaven,’” she whispered. The moment filled her with joy — until everything changed.

“Then He showed me the edge of Hell,” she said. “The smell, the screams — it was unbearable.” God’s message to her was clear: “If they do not change their ways, this is where they shall reside.”

When Charlotte awoke, she felt her spirit being pulled back into her body. She later said, “Heaven is real — more beautiful than we can imagine.”

Charlotte passed away in 2023 at 72, but her story still gives hope — and a question that lingers: what waits for us beyond this life? 🌹
