On today's episode, we welcome Rosemary Thornton, a resilient spirit whose near-death experience transformed her perspective on life, healing, and divine love. In this profound conversation, Rosemary opens the door to her journey through unimaginable grief and loss, only to find herself catapulted into a spiritual realm of peace and wholeness.Rosemary’s story begins with tragedy. After ten years of what she believed was a blissful marriage, her husband ended his own life, leaving her devastated and unmoored. She recalls how she masked her pain, pretending to move forward while silently battling a profound sense of loss. It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer and endured a series of medical mishaps that she truly reached the brink, both physically and emotionally. As she recounts, “I said, ‘God, heal me or let me go,’” and that simple prayer set the stage for a journey far beyond this world.What followed was a medical emergency that led Rosemary to an otherworldly experience, one she vividly describes with a sense of awe and peace. After a surgery gone wrong, she found herself floating in a vast, comforting darkness, free from fear and physical pain. In this spiritual realm, she encountered a divine presence, a being she describes as both massive and loving. The message she received was profound yet simple: “You are the image and likeness; I am the original.”The most striking aspect of Rosemary’s experience was not fear or resistance to leaving the earthly plane, but the overwhelming sense of being welcomed home. As she floated further into this divine space, she felt the presence of spiritual beings—her "tribe"—celebrating her return. It was as though the burdens she carried through life had been stripped away, leaving behind only her true essence: peace, love, and humor. "I realized the fear, anxiety, and worries were left on that gurney. What went with me was who I really am,” she reflects, her voice filled with wonder and relief.But the spiritual journey didn’t end there. Rosemary found herself in a white room, facing a closed door—a symbol, perhaps, of her next phase. She remembers asking the divine being with her, “Is this the divine will for my life?” The answer was not what she expected: “No, but whatever you decide, you go with all God’s blessings and mercy.” This moment of choice encapsulates a profound spiritual truth: we are never alone in our decisions. Whether we move forward or return, we are always held in divine love. SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS Healing Goes Beyond the Physical: Rosemary’s near-death experience wasn’t just about overcoming cancer; it was about restoring her soul. “My soul got rebooted,” she says. True healing, as she learned, is about reconnecting with our spiritual essence.We Are Never Truly Alone: In the darkest moments, both in life and in death, we are surrounded by spiritual beings who welcome us home and support our journey. Rosemary’s tribe of angels affirmed this deep truth: “Welcome home, dearie.”Our Decisions Are Guided by Love: Even in moments of great uncertainty, we are guided by divine love. Whether we take the long way or the direct path, we are always aligned with the will of God, surrounded by grace and mercy.In this conversation, Rosemary Thornton reminds us that life and death are not opposing forces but parts of a grander journey. Her experience offers solace to those facing grief, loss, or illness, and her message is clear: we are loved, we are guided, and we are always whole in the eyes of the divine.
