Patty Riddle Kirshner, a Nebraska pastor and evangelist, shares how her life changed when COVID swept through her church in August 2020. Patty spent 83 days in four hospitals, over four weeks in a coma, suffered paralysis from the neck down, and died briefly from cardiac arrest. During that moment, she describes being in heaven's "glory," overwhelmed by God's presence, seeing an unusual sky color and things that stunned her. God told her she could stay or return; she chose to come back because there was more work to do. After extensive rehabilitation, she recovered movement and a national news team welcomed her home. Tragically, she soon faced her husband Ronnie's glioblastoma diagnosis; he died in May 2021. Patty reflects on the anger, the grief, learning to live "in the moment," staying connected to community and church, starting the widows' group Embrace, and testifying that God remained faithful through suffering, loss, and renewed purpose. 00:00 A Glimpse of Glory 00:41 Meet Patty and Her Story 01:33 Life Before COVID 02:37 Symptoms and Denial 04:43 Hospitalization and Fear 07:20 Coma and Ventilator Fight 10:29 Heart Stops Heaven Visit 13:36 Choose to Stay or Go 14:48 Rehab Isolation and Fear 18:45 Recovery and Witnessing 20:41 Vision of Anointing 22:24 Husband's Fall and Diagnosis 24:17 Grief After Loss 25:58 Finding Hope Again 26:56 New Love And Calling 28:51 Hard Questions Anger 31:14 Staying In The Moment 33:22 Advice For Widows 36:20 Embrace Support Group 40:59 Knowing God Is Real 44:07 Haiti Prophetic Warning 45:20 Ministry Links And Prayer of blessing over listeners Patty's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/p/Evangelist-Patty-Riddle-100081176667734/ Patty's Website: https://www.womenunitedministry.com/
