When Tina Hines’ heart stopped, her husband thought he’d lost her forever. But what she wrote next left everyone speechless.
The Arizona woman suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and was clinically dead for 27 minutes. Paramedics revived her six times as her husband Brian prayed by her side. Doctors warned she’d likely suffer brain damage — yet the next day, she woke up. Her first request? A pen and paper. With trembling hands, she scrawled two haunting words: “It’s real.”

At first, her family thought she meant the pain or the hospital. But when her daughter asked, “Do you mean heaven?” Tina nodded yes, tears in her eyes. Later, she described what she saw: “I saw Jesus standing there, arms wide open, surrounded by the most beautiful golden light.”
Scientists call it a surge of brain activity before death. Believers call it something more. As Tina put it, “God is real. Heaven is real.”

Whatever you believe, one thing is certain — her message has made millions stop and wonder what truly lies beyond that final breath. ✨
