Tina Hines woke up after almost dying and wrote a scary note for her family and friends.

Tina and Brian, her husband, were excited about a hike close to their home in Phoenix, Arizona, in February of last year.

While they were about to leave, Tina passed out. She had always been healthy.

Bryant says that he got on his knees next to his wife, who had turned dark purple, and started CPR on her.

The mother of four was brought back to life for a short time, but Brian had to do it again before the paramedics arrived.

Tina had to be resuscitated six times before she woke up in the hospital. The team kept losing her during the scary ambulance ride and treatment.

Tina and her family told AZfamily.com that she had been pretty much dead for 27 minutes.

While she was in the hospital, she was intubated and couldn’t talk. But as soon as Tina woke up, she motioned for a pen so she could write her strange message, which she says is about heaven.

Tina Hines wrote “it’s real” in letters that were almost impossible to read. She was talking about the vision of heaven she said she saw while she was “dead” for 27 minutes after having a severe heart attack.

“It felt so real, the colors were so bright,” Tina told AZfamily.com.

She remembered seeing someone standing in front of dark gates with a bright yellow light behind them. She thinks that person was Jesus.

When her family asked her what was real while she was still being intubated, Tina just “nodded” up.

Tina is thankful that she is still alive and can tell her story.

When someone has an abrupt cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, almost 90% of them die.

CPR done by Tina’s husband, on the other hand, likely saved her life.

The chance of survival after cardiac arrest goes from 10% to over 45% when CPR is given by a bystander. However, women are 27% less likely to get CPR from someone other than a paramedi
