Arielera attempted suicide by drinking liquid paraffin and fell into a coma for three weeks. She was cyanotic (blue, no air) when taken to hospital and may have been clinically dead. During the coma, she experienced living another full life in an altered reality where she was 14 again and met her husband Keirin, a cousin from a Lake Erie ship-building family. She experienced a complete wedding with detailed memories of the ceremony, her cream dress, and salmon-pink bridesmaid dresses. The love she felt with Keirin was profound - she describes never having loved or been loved in that way in this reality. She witnessed her father choosing between three versions of her to raise. Upon returning to this reality, she went through a grieving process for having to leave Keirin behind and had to decide which reality was real. The experience was so vivid that she still sometimes expects to turn a corner and see him there.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience included altered consciousness during near-death state, a sense of another realm, and profound love that transcended physical reality. The extended nature of the experience during coma aligns with biblical accounts of visions and spiritual experiences. The decision to return to life reflects the boundary between life and death mentioned in scripture. Unbiblical elements: The concept of living a complete alternate life with marriage to someone who doesn't exist in this reality suggests parallel realities or alternate timelines, which is not found in biblical accounts. The idea of her father choosing between three versions of herself to raise has new age overtones of multiple selves or parallel lives that contradict biblical understanding of individual identity.
