On September 17, 1988, Judy underwent surgery for tubal ligation following childbirth. During the procedure, she experienced respiratory and cardiac arrest. She found herself floating at the ceiling, observing medical staff working on her body on the operating table. After passing through double doors, she entered a beautiful green field with a creek, flowers, and a perfect mountain with a city at its peak. She stood in this field but could traverse great distances in single steps. At the mountain's summit was a beautiful city with people, some known to her. As she began to climb toward the city, a voice told her it wasn't her time and she couldn't climb the hill yet. Despite arguing to stay, feeling complete love, joy and peace like a warm blanket, she was told to return. She saw her family - husband crying against the hospital wall, children looking sad - and the voice said her husband needed her most. She awakened in severe pain as medical staff were resuscitating her. The doctor later confirmed she had died and was excited to discuss her experience for about an hour. She believes she was shown heaven and where she will eventually go.

--- Biblical Summary ---
Biblical elements: The beautiful city on a mountain strongly parallels the New Jerusalem described in Revelation. The green fields and peaceful landscape echo biblical paradise imagery. The divine voice declaring it wasn't her time reflects God's sovereignty over life and death. The presence of known people in the city aligns with biblical reunion concepts. The complete peace, love, and joy experienced match descriptions of God's presence. Being sent back for family purposes, especially her husband, reflects biblical values of marital commitment and family responsibility.

Unbiblical elements: None identified. The experience contains orthodox Christian elements without contradicting scripture.
