A woman who died for nearly 30 minutes after suffering a heart attack has opened up about what she saw on the other side.
Back in February 2018, Tina Hines had a heart attack while she was out on a hike in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband, Brian.
After calling 911, Brian desperately performed CPR on his wife until paramedics arrived on the scene and took over.
Before Tina was taken to hospital, Brian and emergency services are said to have brought her 'back to life four times' before she was placed on a defibrillator.

Once Tina had woke up in the hospital, she immediately asked for a pen as she had an important message to write down.
After 'coming back to life', Tina managed to scribble out a message which appeared to read 'it’s real', and has since revealed what she supposedly saw after her heart stopped for a total of twenty-seven minutes.
Speaking about her experience to the Christian Broadcasting Network, Tina said: “Unbelievable rest and peacefulness of what I experienced was Jesus standing there with his arms open wide.
“And right behind Jesus standing there was this incredible glow.
“It was so real, the colours were so vibrant.”
Brian also spoke about the ordeal, saying: “She just started making marks, and I couldn't tell what it was, and I was almost shaking. I was fixed. I just held the book steady because I didn't want it to drop.
“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.
“No, and then my daughter goes, 'Heaven?' And she goes - she nods yes.”
Tina was discharged from hospital just four days after the ordeal and has even released a book titled Heaven… It’s Real: How Dying Changes Living.
Part of the book's description reads: “Changed by her death, time in Heaven with Jesus, and return to life, Tina has written a book based on her journals of how dying has changed living.
“Heaven - It's Real... How Dying Changes Living is a message of hope for the fearful and comfort for those who have lost loved ones.
“It contains honest insights about her shortcomings, including ways her experience is helping her change and grow.
“The book offers practical advice on every day challenges like fear, anxiety, depression, priorities, and relationships paired with Scripture and biblical teaching for each day's devotion as well as room to journal in response to devotional questions.”
Certainly a remarkable story!
