Vania Valtriani’s impossible recovery and her NDE presented February 27, 2026

In 2014, Vania Valtriani had a hemorrhagic stroke. Two veins in her brain burst, and she was rushed into emergency surgery. After the procedure, her surgeons told her husband there was nothing they could do, and Vania would die. Her husband gave her a blessing anyway, asking God to heal her. Although Vania remained in a coma for three months, against all odds, she woke up. She told her husband she died and went to the other side, where she spoke with her father, who had previously died, and about seeing Jesus, who sent her back because her life’s purpose had not been completed. During her near-death experience, Vania experienced what she describes as the “overwhelming” love of God. She learned from communicating with her deceased father that family relationships continue after death. She learned that perseverance can overcome even seemingly impossible obstacles. Vania believes we can all learn to recognize subtle confirmations of God’s guidance in life.

The book detailing her story is available on Amazon.
