559. Surviving Death with Rosemary Thornton

What if dying felt like waking up from a bad dream?

Rosemary Thornton, author, journalist, and near-death experiencer, describes her death not with fear, but with relief. After losing her husband to suicide, receiving a Stage 2 cancer diagnosis, and bleeding to death on an operating table, she found herself floating through a velvety blackness, giggling, grateful, and completely at peace.

And then she came back—healed.

In this week's episode of Get Yourself Optimized, Rosemary shares what she saw, heard, and felt during her temporary death experience, including:

• The three words that summed up her entire experience of heaven

• How a seven-foot angel appeared in her church pew and told her to write her book

• What happened to her Stage 2 cancer after she returned from the other side

• Why does she call it a 'temporary death experience'—not a near-death experience

• The simple prayers and daily habits that have kept her grounded ever since

This isn't a story about dying. It's a story about coming home. The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at www.getyourselfoptimized.com/559
