In March 1987, Louise fell ill and was hospitalized, sinking into a coma that lasted two weeks due to a virus causing encephalitis, meningitis, and myelitis. On the night she emerged from the coma, she experienced floating above her body with an overwhelming feeling of fullness and intensity beyond description. From her vantage point at the head of her body, she observed a being dressed in white on her right side moving air with his robe to cool her hot body, while she felt nothing from above. She saw and heard multiple visitors who had come during her two-week coma, accurately recalling what they wore, where they stood around her bed, and what they said - details she later verified with them. She experienced profound peace, serenity, and love during this state. Upon realizing she couldn't see her two daughters, she instantly felt pulled back into her body, which felt painfully small like putting on child's nightclothes. She awakened paralyzed with blurred vision but eventually recovered physically by May. The experience convinced her she has a soul, eliminated her fear of death, and led her to work as a physiotherapist for twelve years before transitioning to work with dying patients. She continues to feel the intensity of that divine experience most strongly when with people at end of life.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience powerfully demonstrates biblical truths about the soul's existence beyond the physical body. The presence of a being in white attending to her corresponds with biblical descriptions of angels ministering to humans. The overwhelming divine love and peace she experienced reflects God's nature as described in scripture. Her instant return upon thinking of her children shows God's compassion for earthly responsibilities and relationships. The complete transformation - knowing rather than just believing in God and the soul - mirrors biblical accounts of divine encounters. Her subsequent calling to minister to the dying reflects biblical compassion and service. Unbiblical elements: None identified. The experience is free from reincarnation, occult practices, or teachings contrary to scripture. No deceased spirits provided unbiblical messages, and no new age concepts were introduced. Her lasting sense of having "one foot here and one there" reflects the biblical tension of being in the world but not of it.
