After Tina Hines collapsed before a hike with her husband, Brian, he performed CPR after she turned purple. Tina was resuscitated six times and clinically dead for 27 minutes. When she woke up in the hospital, she wrote “it’s real” to describe a vivid vision of heaven, where she saw a figure she believed to be Jesus.
Thanks to Brian’s quick action, Tina survived, as nearly 90% of people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest die. Her niece was so inspired by her story that she got the message tattooed. Studies show CPR increases survival rates, and while most people with near-death experiences have no memory of it, Tina’s vision was a powerful reminder: heaven is real.
