Vania Sees Her Father and Jesus During NDE


Our special guest on this episode is Vania Valtriani, a Brazilian now living in Utah. 10 years ago she suffered a stroke and had a profound near death experience (NDE).
During her NDE she saw her father who had passed away 16 years prior. He looked young like he looked when she was 7 or 8 years old. She felt good, she felt peace, and she felt her father's love for her as he opened his arms and said, "daughter."
She saw her body on the hospital bed and the medical staff working on it. At one point she felt cold, afraid and alone. Then everything changed as she found Jesus beside her. She describes His amazing eyes. He took her hands and three times said, "Everything will be alright."
Vania's life has changed since the NDE. She feels her mission is to share her story with everyone she possibly can. "He is real. He is alive. His love doesn't change, no matter what we do."
Please share this beautiful story with someone you love!

00:00:03.749 --> 00:00:06.730
From the time that they pronounced me dead was
00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:10.210
a good 45 minutes. They cut my clothes and then
00:00:10.210 --> 00:00:13.130
they paddled. My heart, my heart had stopped
00:00:13.130 --> 00:00:16.129
and I could see people screaming and crying but
00:00:16.129 --> 00:00:18.589
I didn't realise that was actually my physical
00:00:18.589 --> 00:00:22.010
body because I was somewhere else. The only thing
00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:25.390
that I could feel if you could imagine absolute
00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:28.510
love and peace, there wasn't anything else to
00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.440
be felt. I was greeted by people I had known
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.799
in the past. I'm back home again. Incredibly
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:40.240
safe and felt at home. Welcome, welcome to Round
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.240
Trip Death, everybody. And I have a very special
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.820
guest that you're absolutely going to love today.
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:49.140
Vanya Valtriani. Good morning, Vanya. How are
00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:52.640
you? Good morning, Eric. Very good. Thank you
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.820
for the invitation. Good. I can't wait for everybody
00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:00.380
to hear about your near -death experience and
00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:03.740
lots of other things that you have learned. First,
00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:07.500
60 seconds or so, tell us a little bit about
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.340
you. Who are you? Where do you come from? My
00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:14.560
name is Vania Votriani. I'm from Brazil, the
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.260
southeast of Brazil, São Paulo. I am a mom. Well,
00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:23.019
I am a wife, mom, and grandma in this order.
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.159
How many grandkids? Three. Two boys and one girl.
00:01:28.819 --> 00:01:32.780
And the kids are the same. No, the opposite.
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.840
The two girls and one boy. I study business administration
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.019
in my country. I work a lot in many companies
00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:44.799
in Brazil. But then we decided to come to Provo,
00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:49.420
Utah, where we are living now for 12 years now.
00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:54.120
That must have been a culture shock. Yes. But
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.700
we learn a lot about this and do you know I learned
00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:01.659
a lot about Brazilian people more after I leave
00:02:01.659 --> 00:02:06.099
my country Because here I have another people
00:02:06.099 --> 00:02:11.539
to compare others ethnic so we can see the difference
00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:16.240
That's interesting. All right. Well, let's without
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.419
further ado as they say, let's go ahead. I'm
00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:23.889
just checking my notes here You had a stroke
00:02:23.889 --> 00:02:27.169
a little over 10 years ago. You were awfully
00:02:27.169 --> 00:02:30.129
young. Was there some medical situation that
00:02:30.129 --> 00:02:33.750
brought on your stroke? Never had any problem
00:02:33.750 --> 00:02:39.030
before. Never strong headache, nothing, nothing.
00:02:39.569 --> 00:02:44.810
Well, my dad, my mom told me that my dad had
00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:48.310
the same stroke that I have in the same age I
00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:53.060
was, 45 years old. Maybe this is genetic. I don't
00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:55.400
know. Hopefully you didn't pass it on to your
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.840
children. Yes, I hope and I'm taking care and
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.539
help them to take care of their self to not have
00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:07.060
the same. I learned it to help them. Well, let's
00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:10.819
go ahead and jump into it. So tell me what happened
00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:15.219
with your health and while you were in the hospital.
00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:20.120
Take it away. OK, well, just summarize this.
00:03:20.250 --> 00:03:26.030
We were living here for one year when I was working
00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:29.590
in many different things, because I was a woman
00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:32.270
that always worked a lot in my country. So when
00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:35.509
I arrived here, I said, what I can do here? I
00:03:35.509 --> 00:03:42.819
cannot use many of my knowledge here. my degree.
00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:47.340
So I start working in something very different.
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.340
My life was totally different here in Provo than
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:55.120
in Sao Paulo because I started working doing
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.860
Brazilian entertainment. We were doing Brazilian
00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:02.900
food, Brazilian parties, traditional Brazilian
00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:06.000
parties with the community that live here with
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.360
us. And there's a lot of Brazilian people here
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.599
in Provo, more than I thought. So I think I was
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.560
working hard, stressful, a little, not stressful
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.420
a lot. I think that contribute for me because
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:26.959
we were organizing a traditional Brazilian party
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:32.399
in a big park here in Provo. It was July 14th,
00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:37.060
21st. While we were dancing the traditional dance,
00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:42.600
that we have in this activity, I felt a very,
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.800
very horrible pain in my brain. I can only describe
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.819
this like if someone hit me with a hot knife
00:04:52.819 --> 00:04:58.040
in my brain and turned this. It was so bad that
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.279
I vomited and then I fell down. After that, I
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:07.720
just woke up after four days. And while This
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.399
happened, what I can tell you is what my husband
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.519
told me. He told me that they called to the ambulance
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.779
and it arrived in four minutes, very, very fast.
00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:24.339
And I was took to the hospital and they detected
00:05:24.339 --> 00:05:28.740
that I had a stroke and I was taken to the surgery
00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:32.939
and my husband and some friend that was with
00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:35.660
him in the party was in the hospital with them.
00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:39.990
with him and my kids after the doctor arrived
00:05:39.990 --> 00:05:44.829
after the surgery and he told to my husband that
00:05:44.829 --> 00:05:49.329
two veins blast in my brain, a lot of blood in
00:05:49.329 --> 00:05:53.910
my brain, and that they couldn't do anything.
00:05:54.850 --> 00:05:59.410
There's nothing they can do and I will die. And
00:05:59.410 --> 00:06:04.019
the doctor told to my husband. She has zero percent
00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:07.779
of chance to survive. He told it this way because
00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:10.860
my husband was here with me for one year and
00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:14.379
our English was not so good in that time. And
00:06:14.379 --> 00:06:18.000
we have a very good friend, a leader, a bishop
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.439
that was with him trying to translate everything.
00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:26.319
My husband just asked to him if he could. could
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.180
give me a bless is a normal thing that we as
00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:35.079
a member do and he gave me the bless and I stay
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.660
in coma for three days and in the fourth day
00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:41.839
I wake up. I just was curious did you have a
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.439
long recovery after that or were you better quite
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.500
quickly? No it was a long recovery i was for
00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:52.160
almost forty days in the recovery center in the
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.060
hospital wow it took a long time to me to learn
00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:59.740
again doing simple things like brush my teeth
00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:05.279
eat by myself without making a mess like a kid
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.100
be in. How can I say this in English? I think
00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:13.519
it's equilibrium, balance, to walk in. Well,
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.680
everything was very difficult, especially speak.
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.139
You look like you've made a full recovery. So
00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:24.379
that is fantastic. I'm so happy for you. I don't
00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:27.220
have anything, anything. I have anything. The
00:07:27.220 --> 00:07:32.000
doctor, well, the hospital, every day someone
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.379
knock in my door in the hospital. and tell to
00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:38.920
me and my husband, we came to see the miracle
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.180
because the whole hospital is talking about her.
00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:45.540
And people that was working on the hospital came
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:49.860
to my room and wanna see me because the doctor
00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:53.519
could not explain what happened. But I know what
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.120
happened because I had a very special experience
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.639
while I was in coma. And I wanna tell you about
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.490
this. I wanna tell to everybody. Please do. We
00:08:05.490 --> 00:08:08.250
want to hear all about it. I want all the detail.
00:08:09.050 --> 00:08:12.949
So go ahead and tell us what you remembered after
00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:16.529
you woke up. Well, when I woke up, the first
00:08:16.529 --> 00:08:19.709
person that I saw was my husband with my youngest
00:08:19.709 --> 00:08:24.069
girl. She was eight years old and my best friend
00:08:24.069 --> 00:08:27.980
and a nurse. And I started trying to speak, but
00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:31.740
it was the most difficult thing that I was trying
00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:36.139
to do. It was so difficult. But I was trying
00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:39.659
to speak in English. When my husband started
00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:43.179
speaking Portuguese with me, I couldn't understand
00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:47.179
nothing he was telling me. I realized and they
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:50.059
realized that I couldn't understand or speak
00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:53.480
Portuguese, my own language. My friend and the
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.539
nurse started speaking me. in English, and I
00:08:57.539 --> 00:09:01.259
was trying to tell them, but I only repeat, I
00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:06.000
was with my dad. I was with Jesus. I repeated
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.759
this for a long time, many times, and my husband
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.320
after told me, we are thinking that you are,
00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:15.480
I don't know, I don't know the word in English.
00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:20.090
You are not in your normal. brain or normal way,
00:09:20.330 --> 00:09:23.470
because you only say, I was with my dad, I was
00:09:23.470 --> 00:09:27.330
with Jesus, I saw my dad, and my dad already
00:09:27.330 --> 00:09:34.929
died for 16 years ago. But I wake up with those
00:09:34.929 --> 00:09:38.490
memories in my brain, especially two of them
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:42.110
that I want to tell you, that I tell to everybody
00:09:42.110 --> 00:09:46.110
in my channel and in my book. I wake up with
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:50.820
two memories. The first one was that I was in
00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:56.500
a hospital room and I saw something, but it was
00:09:56.500 --> 00:10:00.200
very, very different and very difficult for me
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.080
to explain. I'll try to explain. I was in that
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.960
situation that I was not feeling anything bad.
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.139
This is the most thing that came to my mind.
00:10:11.379 --> 00:10:15.350
I was feeling good and peace and normal. But
00:10:15.350 --> 00:10:20.649
for me, it was like if I was in a condition that
00:10:20.649 --> 00:10:24.250
I knew something that I knew before. I don't
00:10:24.250 --> 00:10:27.490
know how to explain this. And I looked to something.
00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:31.529
I looked to a room. It was a hospital room. And
00:10:31.529 --> 00:10:35.889
I saw some professionals, some doctors or doctors
00:10:35.889 --> 00:10:41.129
working in someone that was laid down. It took
00:10:41.129 --> 00:10:45.519
a time for me to realize that that person was
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.460
me. She was totally different. Let me explain
00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:51.899
in a way that you can understand. I think that
00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:55.320
when we are in our body, we have five senses.
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.659
But I think that we are only a spirit. You have
00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:03.259
much more sense. I was feeling the whole, the
00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:07.559
whole place in back, inside. It was not only
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.519
what I was looking for. So I think we have much
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.350
more sense. when we are spirit. I am sure about
00:11:15.350 --> 00:11:19.570
this. Well, and that vania that was laid down
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:23.909
on the table looks like in 3D for me. And I was
00:11:23.909 --> 00:11:28.009
surprised. And then I realized that was me. And
00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:31.370
in the feet where I was laid down, in my feet
00:11:31.370 --> 00:11:35.230
in the table or bed, I don't know how to say
00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:39.429
this in English, I saw something very special.
00:11:40.190 --> 00:11:45.600
There was a big light and I saw my dad. I wasn't
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.779
surprised to saw my dad and I wasn't afraid to
00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:53.580
see that I was that woman laid down because for
00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:56.820
me it looks like I wasn't that person laid down.
00:11:57.299 --> 00:12:02.340
I look and I couldn't feel that I was her. I
00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:05.820
was not afraid about anything. It's totally different
00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:08.740
than we see in those Hollywood movies, oh I'm
00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:12.659
dying, that one is me. No, it's not nothing like
00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:17.039
this for me at least wasn't like this and I was
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.600
feeling good and with The vision of my dad I
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.879
was feeling something very good coming from here
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.580
to me. It was something very good I think it
00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:34.779
was his love my dad he died When he was 74 years
00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:38.720
old from cancer, but that man that I was looking
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:44.039
was totally different Eric. He was like my dad
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.440
that I remember when I was seven or eight years
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:52.120
old. He was so great. But there was something
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.919
in him that I never saw in this life, in his
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.620
face in this life. I don't know how I explain
00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:04.399
this. It looks like he was totally, I don't have
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.659
words even in Portuguese to tell him. He just
00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:13.460
opened his arm and he said, daughter. But he
00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:16.500
never used his mouth. He didn't use his mouth.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.820
He spoke this in my brain, in my mind. I think
00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:25.460
it was from his mind to my mind. And I just told
00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:29.480
him, I love that, but I have to stay with her.
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.059
And her was me. Lay down. But I don't know how.
00:13:35.149 --> 00:13:38.789
Why I say this way? Because I felt that that
00:13:38.789 --> 00:13:41.509
one was not me. That's why I say I have to stay
00:13:41.509 --> 00:13:44.690
with her. And that is the memory that I have
00:13:44.690 --> 00:13:48.629
with my dad. If I had something else, I don't
00:13:48.629 --> 00:13:52.129
know. I don't remember. Well, the other memory
00:13:52.129 --> 00:13:55.789
that arrived with me when I woke up after the
00:13:55.789 --> 00:13:59.570
coma was very bad. It was totally different,
00:13:59.809 --> 00:14:04.090
Eric. Totally different. The memory that came
00:14:04.269 --> 00:14:07.750
and that I was trying to tell them but I couldn't,
00:14:07.769 --> 00:14:13.590
it was so difficult to speak, was a very afraid
00:14:13.590 --> 00:14:19.470
memory. I remember very clearly that I was back
00:14:19.470 --> 00:14:23.909
in my body and I knew that I was alone in a hospital
00:14:23.909 --> 00:14:28.230
room. I don't know how, but I knew that I was
00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:32.360
back. And I feel, I felt that nobody was with
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.200
me in the room. I don't know how I felt this.
00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:38.799
I was feeling that I was dying. I was feeling
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:43.679
cold, petrified, terrified. I was feeling a lot
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.440
of pain in my body. I was feeling a lot of cold
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.139
in my feet. And I was freeze, I couldn't move.
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:58.070
But the most worst thing was in my throat. looked
00:14:58.070 --> 00:15:02.289
like something was in my throat that I couldn't
00:15:02.289 --> 00:15:06.549
breathe or that I was feeling so bad. And I was
00:15:06.549 --> 00:15:10.210
very afraid. And something came to my mind. I
00:15:10.210 --> 00:15:13.970
think, I am dying alone in the hospital. And
00:15:13.970 --> 00:15:17.769
then I say, what I can do? And I start praying.
00:15:18.190 --> 00:15:22.389
And I pray to God to help me. And I just ask
00:15:22.389 --> 00:15:26.460
for help. That is something very needed. in my
00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:30.580
mind when I woke up. And I told them, yeah, I
00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:33.740
was trying to tell them, but my husband said
00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:37.240
that nobody understand nothing that I was trying
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.320
to say, even in English, that people that was
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.580
speaking English because my English was so bad.
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.100
Well, I was trying to tell them that I was praying
00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:51.000
and that I felt something very strong in my left
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:56.399
side of the bed. And I, I trying to to see what
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.200
was this, but I was only feeling, I was feeling
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.759
that was something very powerful in my left side
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:10.539
of the bed. I don't know if I saw this wonderful
00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:15.700
light and this wonderful image in my brain because
00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:21.240
probably I was with my eyes closed, but maybe
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.740
my spiritual eyes, I don't know how explain this.
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:31.500
But I saw a face, and the most amazing thing
00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:36.480
on that face that made me very emotional even
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:42.519
today, ten years ago, was the eyes. The two eyes
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:46.179
that I never saw something like this. It looks
00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:50.559
like he has the sun or fire inside his eyes.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.059
It was true flame. I don't know how to explain
00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:59.870
this. The eyes was so impressive that I almost
00:16:59.870 --> 00:17:03.809
don't remember everything in his face detail.
00:17:04.190 --> 00:17:10.670
I remember the nose, this part and the mouth,
00:17:11.089 --> 00:17:14.910
but the eyes was the most impressive. It looks
00:17:14.910 --> 00:17:18.930
like I was going down, dipping down in his eyes.
00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:22.150
And I remember that I say, I think Lord send
00:17:22.150 --> 00:17:25.359
me an angel. to help me or this is the angel
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:29.500
that came to pick up me I don't know I was afraid
00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:33.339
but he took my hands when he took my hands I
00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:36.839
was feeling this is not an angel I can feel his
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.319
hand in my hand my left hand and he said two
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.799
things for me in my brain in my mind he never
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.579
used his mouth to he said two things and the
00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:53.319
first thing I was why he is telling me this He
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:58.259
said, we are very happy with your missionary.
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.980
He's doing a great work. And in that moment,
00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:07.559
I realized that he was telling about my son.
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.359
My son in that time was serving as a volunteer
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.180
missionary in Guatemala service. And I say, why
00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:21.059
he is telling about my son while I'm dying? And
00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:25.660
then the second thing he said, your husband is
00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:29.759
a man very faithful. Because of this, he will
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:34.859
see some miracle in his life. And then he told
00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:39.880
me for three times the same thing, everything
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:44.619
will be all right. For three times he said this.
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:49.599
While he was telling this, Eric, I felt something
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:54.460
coming from here to me. Looks like something
00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:58.900
physical touching me, surrounding me, like a
00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:04.019
blank or a warm thing, very good thing. And I
00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:06.680
stopped feeling. The thing that I was feeling,
00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:11.400
I didn't feel nothing more pain or cold or freeze
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:16.059
or petrified or pain in my head. I was feeling
00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:20.220
something coming and surrounding me and looks
00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:24.279
like he was courting me or something like this.
00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:28.759
And then in that moment, something came to my
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.759
mind and I realized that he was not an angel.
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:38.549
And I thought, This is His love. He is my savor.
00:19:38.829 --> 00:19:44.809
And because of this love, He died for us. He
00:19:44.809 --> 00:19:48.450
is our savor. Because of this love that I'm feeling,
00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:51.390
something that I never felt before, something
00:19:51.390 --> 00:19:55.269
that is totally difficult to explain, is not
00:19:55.269 --> 00:19:58.359
something like we feel. Because I am a mom and
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:02.579
a grandma. And I know that grandma love are the
00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:06.680
most amazing love that people in the world consider
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.140
great. But that thing that I was feeling was
00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:14.880
too much more than grandma or grandmother loves.
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.720
I don't know how to explain this, but it was
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:21.640
something physical that was surrounding me. But
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.349
I feel that was something powerful that was make
00:20:26.349 --> 00:20:29.849
me feel so bad. And I don't remember anything
00:20:29.849 --> 00:20:33.329
else. If something else happened, I don't remember.
00:20:34.309 --> 00:20:37.289
That is awesome. All right, I get to ask some
00:20:37.289 --> 00:20:41.069
questions now. OK, you can ask me whatever you
00:20:41.069 --> 00:20:45.309
want. I don't understand why you had the fear
00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:48.190
and the memory of feeling alone in your hospital
00:20:48.190 --> 00:20:51.390
room. Do you have any more insight on that? Why
00:20:51.390 --> 00:20:54.619
do you think that happened? Well, I I thought
00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:57.420
about this for almost 40 days while I was in
00:20:57.420 --> 00:21:02.240
recovery center. I wrote with very difficult
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.799
because my hand was very difficult to write.
00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:09.440
My husband helped me to write something that
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.000
I taught him. I was telling him and he was trying
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.140
to write and I read and I said, it's not this,
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:21.140
go again. So I don't know why I was feeling...
00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:27.920
alone or fear. But I had a conclusion that maybe
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.759
is not the correct, but I am a simple person.
00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:35.259
I am not an expert about anything of this. After
00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:38.779
this happened with me, I read and read everything
00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:41.900
and watched everything that I can about the experience.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:48.380
I think that I felt I was back in my body. Maybe
00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:53.319
that is why. I was feeling afraid because of
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.740
that bad feeling that I was feeling. Well, Eric,
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:03.440
I have a vivid memory in my mind about how is
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:09.000
to be without a body, out of your body. And that
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:14.960
memory is so good. I was feeling so good. I was
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.940
feeling peace. I was feeling... I don't have
00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:24.440
words to say, but be back in this body is terrible.
00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:27.980
It was terrible. Maybe because I was sick with
00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:32.339
the brain damage. Maybe that's the reason I was
00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:35.500
afraid. I don't have any other answer for you.
00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:38.819
That completely makes sense to me. Yeah. Because
00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:43.519
you felt, well, the love of your father and of
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:47.029
Jesus. and just being out of your body felt so
00:22:47.029 --> 00:22:52.049
wonderful that now being away from that and back
00:22:52.049 --> 00:22:55.150
in reality here on earth and in your body, that
00:22:55.150 --> 00:22:58.390
would feel like a huge difference, a huge paradigm
00:22:58.390 --> 00:23:02.130
shift, right? So it makes sense that you would
00:23:02.130 --> 00:23:06.750
feel all kinds of things. And the aloneness can
00:23:06.750 --> 00:23:12.430
also feel very similar to, I miss That person
00:23:12.430 --> 00:23:16.430
or that feeling that I just had right? Yeah,
00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:20.789
you told me everything Those are very similar
00:23:20.789 --> 00:23:23.170
emotions, so I think it's normal that you would
00:23:23.170 --> 00:23:26.789
feel that way I'll never forget this memories
00:23:26.789 --> 00:23:30.769
Ten years ago, but I can't and I don't want to
00:23:30.769 --> 00:23:35.250
forget this No, and I can see why you want to
00:23:35.250 --> 00:23:37.930
share it with everybody and I want to just interject
00:23:37.930 --> 00:23:41.430
something really quickly here because Every once
00:23:41.430 --> 00:23:44.750
in a while I get a comment from a listener saying,
00:23:45.549 --> 00:23:48.190
oh, that guest you had on mentioned they have
00:23:48.190 --> 00:23:50.829
a book out, so they're just trying to make money
00:23:50.829 --> 00:23:56.269
on this. And not everybody is that way. In fact,
00:23:56.430 --> 00:23:59.509
when I was talking with you, Vanya, the other
00:23:59.509 --> 00:24:02.430
day, you mentioned I'm not trying to make any
00:24:02.430 --> 00:24:06.109
money on this book. In fact, if I remember right,
00:24:06.150 --> 00:24:10.559
the audio version is actually free. I just want
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.579
to tell to people. You do need to cover printing
00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:17.140
and stuff like that, but your motivation is just
00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:20.339
to get your experience out to everybody. And
00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:23.440
we thank you for that. And if anybody is judging
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.720
you for that, then shame on them. Yes, I have
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.960
to tell you, because this is my mission. I think
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:35.779
that, well, I know that someday. Pay attention.
00:24:36.809 --> 00:24:40.869
Someday, you, Eric, me, you that are listening,
00:24:41.750 --> 00:24:46.589
will be in front of Jesus for our judgment about
00:24:46.589 --> 00:24:48.789
everything that we did in our life here in this
00:24:48.789 --> 00:24:52.410
earth. And when He asks me, what you did with
00:24:52.410 --> 00:24:56.410
your miracle, I want to tell Him that I did everything
00:24:56.410 --> 00:25:00.670
that I could to tell people that He is real,
00:25:01.509 --> 00:25:06.359
as real as you and me, because I saw Him. And
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.960
He is alive in another way, in a perfect way.
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:13.660
And in a perfect way that we can be too, if we
00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:16.519
follow Him. There is a lot of religion. I don't
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.920
know what is your religion, but Jesus is the
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.839
same. We have to follow Him. He is real. And
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.559
this is my mission. He brought me back to tell
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:30.150
people that He is real. That's why I have to
00:25:30.150 --> 00:25:33.130
write. I wrote a book in three languages because
00:25:33.130 --> 00:25:37.150
more people can listen. This is very cheap and
00:25:37.150 --> 00:25:41.309
you can have for free in Kindle or you can listen
00:25:41.309 --> 00:25:44.190
my story in my channel for free too. I don't
00:25:44.190 --> 00:25:46.410
want to gain money with this. I just want to
00:25:46.410 --> 00:25:49.609
tell to everybody what happened. To help them
00:25:49.609 --> 00:25:52.250
to understand that life is much more than this
00:25:52.250 --> 00:25:54.859
that we see. And by the way, we'll put a link
00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:57.680
in the show notes so everybody can find it. All
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.279
right, I have another question for you. I think
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.539
it's so cool that you saw your dad and had communication
00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:06.859
with your dad. And you said, and I think you
00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:10.380
said something like, he looked like when I was
00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:13.299
seven or eight years old. How old would he have
00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:17.880
been at that time? Well, when I was seven, he
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.890
was 40, 39 or 40, something like this. Because
00:26:21.890 --> 00:26:26.890
I was born when he was 32, 33. Okay, can you
00:26:26.890 --> 00:26:29.509
tell us anything else about what he looked like?
00:26:29.930 --> 00:26:32.730
What his demeanor was like? Did he seem happy?
00:26:33.730 --> 00:26:37.170
Well, happy is not the main thing that came into
00:26:37.170 --> 00:26:42.589
my mind, but it was whole, complete, in peace.
00:26:43.549 --> 00:26:48.490
It was... Let me see if I have other... Happy...
00:26:48.490 --> 00:26:52.829
I think happy is a... something that came with
00:26:52.829 --> 00:26:57.769
others most important adjective. And I think
00:26:57.769 --> 00:27:00.349
he was happy, but this is not the main thing
00:27:00.349 --> 00:27:06.029
that came to my mind. He was calm. He was complete,
00:27:06.430 --> 00:27:10.269
whole. He was in peace. That is the main thing
00:27:10.269 --> 00:27:13.869
that keep in my mind with this memory. And he
00:27:13.869 --> 00:27:19.509
was so, so strong and... Not young, but he was
00:27:19.509 --> 00:27:23.549
very, very young that he was when he died, but
00:27:23.549 --> 00:27:29.450
he was, he was amazing. I want to see him again
00:27:29.450 --> 00:27:33.190
and I know that I will see him again. And can
00:27:33.190 --> 00:27:36.170
you give us a little bit more explanation about,
00:27:36.549 --> 00:27:39.450
I believe you were talking about Jesus when you
00:27:39.450 --> 00:27:41.910
said you saw his face and you were describing
00:27:41.910 --> 00:27:45.789
his eyes, which was beautiful. Can you give us
00:27:45.789 --> 00:27:48.990
any more description there? When I woke up, I
00:27:48.990 --> 00:27:52.809
was in the hospital thinking about the main thing.
00:27:53.490 --> 00:27:58.150
How I realized He was Jesus. When did I realize
00:27:58.150 --> 00:28:01.869
He was not an angel, He was Jesus? I had a conclusion.
00:28:02.750 --> 00:28:07.309
I realized He was not an angel, He was Jesus.
00:28:07.809 --> 00:28:11.509
When I felt His love curing me or bringing me
00:28:11.509 --> 00:28:14.930
back and helping me to stop feeling those...
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.940
horrible thing that I was feeling. And then something
00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:21.779
came to my mind that made me afraid. I said,
00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:26.059
this is his love? This is the way that he loves
00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:30.559
me? He is screaming, making me feel very good
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.960
again? Then I realized, this is not an angel.
00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:40.240
This is our savior because he is the only one
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.549
that has his kind of love. that can cure us,
00:28:44.769 --> 00:28:49.670
that can bring us back, that make us feel comfortable.
00:28:50.309 --> 00:28:53.490
When I woke up in the hospital, the first week
00:28:53.490 --> 00:28:55.970
was the most difficult for me. Do you know why,
00:28:56.109 --> 00:28:59.490
Eric? I was crying every day, because I don't
00:28:59.490 --> 00:29:02.549
want to be back. I want to stay with him, feeling
00:29:02.549 --> 00:29:06.069
that love. I want to stay with him. I was saying,
00:29:06.210 --> 00:29:08.769
I don't want to be back. And then I was trying
00:29:08.769 --> 00:29:12.420
to... convinced me, Vânia, you almost die, you
00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.779
have a family, you have three kids, you have
00:29:15.779 --> 00:29:18.759
a lot of things to live, you have to live, you
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.579
have to say thank you. But I was only thinking
00:29:22.579 --> 00:29:26.759
about that situation, that feeling that I was
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.660
feeling while I was with him, surround me with
00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:34.500
his love. I just want to stay that way, not be
00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:37.289
back. I just want to stay that way. I try to
00:29:37.289 --> 00:29:40.289
live in a way that I can be back surrounded by
00:29:40.289 --> 00:29:44.630
that love because this is most important than
00:29:44.630 --> 00:29:48.589
the air that we breathe. We don't know about
00:29:48.589 --> 00:29:51.250
these things. We don't understand these things
00:29:51.250 --> 00:29:54.549
and I try to explain what is difficult. How else
00:29:54.549 --> 00:29:57.450
would you explain that love? You're a mother
00:29:57.450 --> 00:30:00.609
and a grandmother and you love those children
00:30:00.609 --> 00:30:03.930
and those grandchildren. Was it more than that
00:30:03.930 --> 00:30:08.240
even? Yes, because do you know, let me try to
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:12.880
explain. I love my kids. And I think many mom
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.220
will agree with me. When our kid frustrates a
00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:22.799
mom, when our kid disappoints a mom, we have
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.700
to deal with this. But we deal with this in a
00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:32.349
situation as mortal and imperfect. person that
00:30:32.349 --> 00:30:36.470
I am and that we are. Jesus' love doesn't change
00:30:36.470 --> 00:30:42.390
because our bad shows, bad situation. It doesn't
00:30:42.390 --> 00:30:45.970
change the love of Jesus for us. Someone that
00:30:45.970 --> 00:30:50.950
we love does something that hurts me. When someone
00:30:50.950 --> 00:30:53.490
does something that disappoints me or makes me
00:30:53.490 --> 00:30:58.049
very sad or makes something bad for me, sometimes
00:30:58.049 --> 00:31:01.380
I have some feelings that I have to deal. as
00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:04.940
a mom, as a wife, or brother, sister, whatever.
00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:10.740
But Jesus has the power to not change His love
00:31:10.740 --> 00:31:15.140
for us, independent of what I did. If I did something
00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:18.859
very bad, He still loves us in the same way.
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.539
That is amazing. That is the way that we have
00:31:22.539 --> 00:31:26.079
to learn to love. I'm trying to do this for 10
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.200
years, Eric. I'm trying to do this with my husband,
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.380
with my kids, with my mom, brother, or friend,
00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:38.180
everybody that disappoint me, or do something
00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:45.099
that can make me something bad, or feel something
00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:50.619
sad because of something that people do for us.
00:31:50.980 --> 00:31:55.519
But the love of Jesus doesn't change. Doesn't
00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:00.019
change. Depending on what I do, it doesn't change.
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.119
Well, I'm very emotional. I don't know how my
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.160
English is going on. So just tell me if you don't
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.920
understand. Your English is doing great. And
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:12.960
I appreciate the explanation because a lot of
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.299
people feel like when they hear the term judgment
00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:18.299
that there's going to be a judgment someday.
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.259
In our human, you know, and especially our English
00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:26.059
language, that seems to come with punishment.
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:30.200
Yes. Or you get less love because you weren't
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.099
perfect and things like that. So I really appreciate
00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:36.799
the way that you're explaining it. Before I let
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:40.359
you go today, before we wrap up, I just wondered,
00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:42.259
is there anything else that you feel like you
00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:48.019
want to share with everybody? Wow, a lot. No,
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.559
that's okay. If I have two minutes, that is enough.
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.579
what I want to tell to everybody that is listening
00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:59.660
to me. The first thing, I am not a perfect person
00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:03.619
because of this experience. I'm committing mistakes,
00:33:04.059 --> 00:33:08.740
I'm trying to be better every day, but I learned
00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:13.920
from Jesus that I'm doing great. Sometimes some
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:19.069
voice came to our minds to judge us. and to tell
00:33:19.069 --> 00:33:22.089
us that we are not able to do that, you are bad,
00:33:22.190 --> 00:33:26.029
you are not so good, there's no way for you to
00:33:26.029 --> 00:33:29.130
be better, you are in a situation that Jesus
00:33:29.130 --> 00:33:33.710
will not hit you again, you are so low. This,
00:33:33.950 --> 00:33:37.970
everything came from the hell. Send back to her,
00:33:38.170 --> 00:33:44.450
okay? You are a son of God, and Jesus is your
00:33:44.450 --> 00:33:48.769
Savior, my Savior, our Savior. He is the person
00:33:48.769 --> 00:33:51.849
that most loves you, more than your mom and your
00:33:51.849 --> 00:33:56.529
grandma too. He loves you. Independent, what
00:33:56.529 --> 00:34:00.509
you are, what you have done, what your choice,
00:34:00.890 --> 00:34:05.289
He loves you. Because of His love and because
00:34:05.289 --> 00:34:11.530
of this, you can be better. Trust in yourself
00:34:11.530 --> 00:34:16.179
because of Jesus. He is the one that can help
00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:19.860
you to complete the part that you are not able
00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:23.340
to complete. Trust him. He's your best friend.
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:27.940
Make him your best friend. He is someone that
00:34:27.940 --> 00:34:32.739
is waiting for us. That's why I'm here. And I'm
00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:35.960
so glad that he gave me this opportunity to be
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:40.150
back, to live this experience. He gave me the
00:34:40.150 --> 00:34:43.769
opportunity to see the life in a different way.
00:34:44.510 --> 00:34:47.329
Things that was very important for me was not
00:34:47.329 --> 00:34:51.710
so important more. Do you know why? Because we
00:34:51.710 --> 00:34:56.989
think and we consider and we give much value
00:34:56.989 --> 00:35:01.190
to think that we'll stay here in this earth.
00:35:01.309 --> 00:35:04.429
You will not take this with you. You only take
00:35:04.429 --> 00:35:08.329
with you the relationship that you develop. the
00:35:08.329 --> 00:35:11.929
help that you gave to someone, the service, the
00:35:11.929 --> 00:35:14.969
love that you felt. So that is the thing that
00:35:14.969 --> 00:35:17.690
you take with you when you live this earth and
00:35:17.690 --> 00:35:22.090
this body. I don't think that you have to be
00:35:22.090 --> 00:35:26.170
something that don't study, don't achieve your
00:35:26.170 --> 00:35:29.070
goals, don't gain money. No, I'm not telling
00:35:29.070 --> 00:35:33.010
you this. I'm just telling you that is not the
00:35:33.010 --> 00:35:36.630
most important thing, okay? If you want to be
00:35:36.630 --> 00:35:40.099
my friend, I will love to speak with you. Just
00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:43.400
contact me. Facebook, Instagram, my channel.
00:35:44.260 --> 00:35:48.500
I am here to answer some questions for you. Maybe
00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:51.960
I can help you. I'm here for this. Last question.
00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:55.559
On a scale of one to ten, how much fear of death
00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:02.000
do you have? I'm waiting for this because it's
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:11.969
amazing. Well. Negative one or zero. Good answer,
00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:15.449
good answer. Vania Valtriani, thank you so much

this. Thanks again for listening and sharing
