Remembering the Light

How Dying Saved My Life

De: Rosemary Thornton

Narrado por: Rosemary Thornton Ringer

When Rose’s husband committed suicide, Rose fell into a pit so deep and dark that medical professionals expressed doubts that she would ever fully recover. Two years later, Rose was diagnosed with cancer, and during a “minor medical procedure,” she bled to death, and had no heart beat for more than 10 minutes.

In heaven, she was told that if she agreed to return to earth, she’d be restored to good health, physically, emotionally and mentally. Subsequent medical tests affirmed that every trace of the disease was gone, but as Rose often says, the “bigger story” was the restoration of her soul.

The crippling grief, occasioned by her husband’s suicide, was gone.

The story of Rose’s “temporary death experience” has garnered more than 20 million views on a wide variety of video platforms. The #1 comment shared by viewers is, “This is the best NDE story that I’ve ever heard.”

Heaven is closer than we think

What an amazing reminder, in honest and graphic story form, that God loves us and is closer than our breath. Every time I go to church and listen to the music I think about it creating beautiful light showering on us and it makes my heart overflow.

calmness and gentle voice

Rosemary's faithful adherence to Scriptures seemed clear and profitable.
I'm not a Christian Science buff, although I've known some raised in it AND who stand well as adults without it. I also don't adhere to her views about reincarnation and etcetera.

However, I'm of a mind to let others experience God in whatever ways feel most fitting for them. I trust the Lord to lead humans to the whole truth, as we seek, while I use discernment to simply overlook imperfections I might perceive.

I came to know Rosemary personally after my mother found an interview with her on YouTube. Unique to my typical response, soon after this, I reached out to her via a mutually useful social media site. She is indeed a sweet soul, and this book gives a more detailed glimpse into her perspective. I'm glad to hear it.

With God All Things Are Possible

As a surviver of a parent who committed suicide, I truly identified with Rosemary’s overwhelming grief and wondered even as a child of 5, if I had done anything to add to my mother’s decision to end her life. I had not been told the truth of what really happened until I was 17, and learning the truth was devastating. It took me years to learn more about my mother’s life, and through genealogy to understand the people that I come from.
I will never completely understand the whys but I understand that I am not responsible for her actions that July afternoon in 1961.

Rosemary, thank you for also sharing the hope of heaven, and confirming that there are angels all around us. You remind me to be more patient with others, as we all have special gifts to share! I pray each day that my mother’s soul is with God in Heaven and that I will reunite with her in Heaven when my time comes to leave this earthly realm behind.🙏🙏🙏

God's story

I LOVE her use of beautiful and descriptive words! She has brought God to life where I can feel His spirit around me every moment of every day!

Genuine

Roses story is told authentically and with genuine connection to her truth. I wish I had the strength to put the truth out there as she has done. I’m a better person for knowing her story because she has validated truths I’ve already believed but have been weary to share.

Authentic rendering of author’s story.

Hers is a very inspiring story of ups and downs. And it rings very true.

Thought provoking and meaningful in a lot of ways.

The things it taught about a glimpse of heaven and our purpose of why we're here.

This story came right on time, Rosemary!

Looking for something to help me express tears before an upcoming spiritual retreat, I stumbled upon a short video of Rosemary’s story. So moved, I shared it with the people who came to mind and ordered her book. I spent the last two days in my garden, listening. And it was wonderful. I wanted to say thank you. I no longer wish to control how I behave at the retreat (read: loud-crying is a certainty) and what will be, will be. The story reminded me that my big strong angel will be standing near, guarding. xoxo

Overcoming PTSD

I have read a plethora of NDE books. This to me was more about the authors grief, PTSD, and recovery, physically and spiritually, then the focus/detail of her heavenly experience.
