Acting as a messenger, the woman shared her “unbearable” journey in the afterlife, reminding people who “don’t change their ways” of the hellish environment they’ll spend an eternity.

A woman claims she temporarily died and had a horrifying experience with the underworld, a place she describes as “hell.”

Acting as a messenger, the woman shared her “unbearable” journey in the afterlife, reminding people who “don’t change their ways” of the hellish environment they’ll spend an eternity.

In 2019, Charlotte Holmes was having a routine check-up with her cardiologist when her doctor delivered some shocking news.

During the appointment, her blood pressure spiked to 234/134, a reading well above the normal 120/80 that indicates a person is experiencing a hypertensive crisis.

After being told she was “not going home,” Charlotte, of Wichita, Kansas, was admitted into the hospital “to get that blood pressure down.”

“It’s got to come down,” her heart doctor warned. “Either you’re having another stroke, or you’re about to have a heart attack.”

The elderly woman was placed in a room and hooked up to an IV to hopefully relax the blood vessels and reduce the amount of work required by her heart.

Danny, her husband of almost 50 years, was by her side, watching as doctors tended to his wife.

“Immediately they called this code, and everybody started rushing in and they just started working on her,” Danny recalls. “My feeling was…I’m wondering if I’m even going to be able to bring her home.”

And then Danny explains that his wife started talking about “the flowers.”

“Well, I looked around and I knew there was no flowers in that room. That’s when I knew she was not in this world when that was going on.”

Then Charlotte’s heart stopped and according to both her and her husband, she was clinically dead for the next 11 minutes.

“I was above my body. I could see Danny standing in the corner,” Charlotte explains of her “out of body experience.” “[Danny] had backed up. I could see them, all the nurses around. And then I opened my eyes. I looked around at the beauty. I could see the trees, I could see the grass. And everything was swaying with the music. I can’t convey to you what heaven looked like, [because] it’s so above what we could even imagine, a million times.”

ng that she was guided into “heaven by angels,” the woman continues, “There is no fear. It’s like pure joy. When the angels take over, there is no fear. When you are going home, it’s pure joy.”

And then she claims she was reunited with deceased family members: “I saw my mom. I saw my dad. I saw my sister. I saw family members standing behind.”

Charlotte then recalls she was blinded by what she saw next.

“Standing behind my mom and dad was a light so bright. I couldn’t look upon it. So bright. But I knew it was [God]. I saw a toddler. And I can remember thinking, ‘Who is this?’” She was told that it was her child that she miscarried many decades ago when she was about six months pregnant.

“I can remember them holding the baby up and saying, ‘Charlotte, it’s a boy.’ Then he was gone. So when I saw this toddler, I said, ‘God, how is that possible?’ He says, ‘They continue to grow in heaven. But there’s no time. It’s eternity.’ So, 48 years, and here my child, our child, is a toddler.”

Unfortunately, her journey did not end there.

Her guide, who she refers to as “God,” showed her one more thing.

“God took me to the edge of hell, and I looked down and the smell – rotten flesh. That’s what it smelled like, and screams,” she says of the horrifying sight. “After seeing the beauty of heaven, the contrast of seeing hell is almost unbearable.”

Charlotte claims she was given the vision to deliver a warning of the horrors of hell to those who “do not change their ways.”

“This is where they shall reside,” she heard before she was instructed to return to her body “and share.”

After 11 minutes, Charlotte woke and describing the experience of returning to her body, she said, I felt myself being drawn into my body. I felt the pain, where I hadn’t felt pain. I felt the sorrow.”

Her husband, settled when he noticed her blinking her eyes, adds, “I knew then I was going to get to bring [her] home.”

Charlotte recovered and shared her story until November 28, 2023, when she died at 72.

She leaves behind her husband of 52 years, her daughter Chrystal Holmes Meek, two grandkids and one great grandchild.

In a heartwarming tribute to his wife, Danny writes on Facebook, “It is so hard for me to give this beautiful little lady up after 52 years of an amazing life…When she died in 2019 and God gave her a glimpse of heaven, her life changed until he called her home…Her journey has ended.”

As Charlotte earlier said, “I can look you square in the eye and tell you for sure, heaven is real.”
