In this video, meet Janice Ballard, a 32‑year‑old trauma nurse from Seattle who thought she understood life and death better than anyone.

For years she had stood on the edge of eternity with countless strangers, fighting to keep their hearts beating, holding their hands as they slipped away. She believed she knew what it meant to die, what it meant to cross that final line. But nothing could have prepared her for the day it happened to her.

On an ordinary morning at Harborview Medical Center, while tending to a teenage patient, Janice was struck by a sudden, violent pain in her chest. Her knees gave way, her vision blurred, and her heart stopped for nearly five minutes. What she experienced during those minutes shattered everything she thought she knew about death, the afterlife, and the soul.

This is Janice’s stunning near‑death experience — a journey beyond the world she knew, into a place where life and death blur and unimaginable truths are revealed.
