A woman who 'died and went to hell' has opened up about the 'hideous and terrifying' things she saw before she was saved.

Tamara Laroux, an author and a devout Christian, has revealed she had some intense out-of-body experiences of heaven and hell after she tried to take her own life as a teenager.

Tracing her steps to how she became depressed to CBN, Tamara said it started when she was a child as she grew up in a 'broken home'.

Her parents' divorce sparked a deep fear of rejection in her and by the time she turned just 15 years old, she had spiralled into loneliness and saw herself as a 'burden', reports IGV.

Tamara said she was 'convinced that there was no way to live a completely happy life' and became 'determined' to end it, adding: "If I couldn't live happy, I didn't want to live at all."

In her darkest moment, she decided to put her suffering to an end.

She recalled 'crying' and 'screaming out to God' for forgiveness, and what happened next changed the course of Tamara's life as she believes divine intervention saved her.

Tamara recalled becoming deaf and blind due to the action she'd taken, and she recalled: "I knew that death was gripping my soul." She described her 'soul' leaving her body and the physical world.

Then, she entered a hellish place 'of complete torment' where she met other people burning in torment and screaming in pain.

“It was so hideous and terrifying… there was no way to describe the level of pain that I was experiencing,” she added. “It was hell.”

However, the 'hand of God' then appeared to 'pluck' her out and take her away.

God took her on her next journey to a 'peaceful' and 'gorgeous' heaven but she said she wasn't allowed to stay. His hand then guided her back to her injured physical body.

Medics would later tell Tamara that the bullet she'd attempted to end her life with miraculously missed her heart by less than a quarter of an inch.

However, she said she was left enlightened by the ordeal, having felt 'cleansed' and 'joy for the first time'.

After the experience, Tamara's faith in God depended and she published her first novel, ‘A Second Chance at Heaven’ in 2018. Now, she continues to spread the word that 'eternity is real' and our life choices determine whether we go to heaven or hell.
