Publisher's summary

When she was pregnant with her second child, Stephanie Arnold had a sudden and overwhelming premonition that she would die during the delivery. Although she tried to tell the medical team and her family what was going to happen, neither the doctors nor her loved ones gave her warnings credence. Finding no physical indications that anything was wrong, they attributed her foreboding to hormones and anxiety.

One member of the medical team who did take her concerns seriously enough made the fateful decision to order extra units of blood “just in case”. Then, during the delivery, Stephanie suffered a rare amniotic fluid embolism. She went into cardiac arrest and flatlined for 37 seconds. She died. Using the supplementary blood, the medical team revived her, and she remained unconscious for more than six days.

After months of recovery, Stephanie began to remember details of her experience, details she knew because she had witnessed the entire dramatic event, including her death, from outside her body - beside other spirits that were with her. In this remarkable true story, Stephanie recounts her harrowing journey and shares her surprising spiritual discoveries: We are not alone and have more loving help than we can imagine surrounding us.

Great story, really had me thinking

Thinking a lot about afterlife scenarios, the woman reading it did an awesome job as well. A little cringey at times, but super honest and raw.

Your story is a gift

I am a fellow AFE survivor and this story extracted so many suppressed emotions. My twin brother, an anesthesiologist, predicted my AFE the night before it happened. He did not tell me about his feelings of foreboding but he painted a picture (a literal painting) and set the stage for my survival (requesting an anesthesiologist who he felt could recognize and respond quickly). My soccer number and lifelong lucky number has always been 22, the exact number of units of blood saved my life. Instinct, skilled doctors, divine intervention, and a little bit of twin magic saved my life that fateful day.

Love Never Dies

Stephanie Arnold courageously offers a window into her heart as she shares, in vivid detail, her very personal near death experience during the birth of her second child. She describes the premonitions she had before those 37 Seconds of her death, as well as her desperate attempts for those around her to listen to her. Most importantly, Stefanie empowers us all to listen to that inner voice inside of us, our intuition, which always points us to our True North. Her message, "If you sense something, say something" literally brought her back from the brink of death. This message empowers us all to nurture our own intuitive sense, to believe that we can impact the course of our lives, and to know that we are not alone. Love Never Dies. Thank you Stephanie, for sharing your story of hope with the world.

Grateful for your courage

Thank you for sharing your story. But moreover thank you for the courage to keep digging and to keep bringing yourself back so you could move forward. You are a light of inspiration and validation for opening space for women to trust their intuition and not let it be silenced or minimized.

This falls short, unfortunately

The book's publisher doesn't offer a readable/listenable STORY. It's mainly a list of events. "This happened, then that happened, and this, then..."

To make matters worse, the reading style is: "overcaffeinated robot". So the whole book sounds like, "Theydidthisandthensomethingelsehappenedandthentheyweren'ttsureaboutthatandsomethingelseand
anotherfactandthenTHE END.." Whew!

I don't fault the woman whose story this is. But a professional publisher should have known better; it seems they feel the only value in this is the afterlife angle, and there's no need to make it a decent enough BOOK. You get the feeling someone at the publisher said, "Oh, an afterlife book? Those sell to a given number of people who already want to believe and no-one else, so just print something out fast and have the author read it, and collect our expected amount."

Which is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because of course if you throw something together without any real developmental editing or any attempt at making it *listenable*, it never will succeed as well as it should. Which is a shame, because more people could hear stories like this one, but they won't if it's thrown together like this one is -- like a 6th grade book report.

If you're going to publish a book, make it worth the paper and pixels, or just don't bother. These are incredible stories that deserve real publishing support, not the half-hearted treatment they often get. Publishers should be worth their take and ensure a GOOD BOOK, or they should leave it to self-publishers.

Look her story up on the net and save your credits.
