A woman claims to have met God in heaven while in a coma after a horrifying near-death experience.
Mariandree Cárdenas was working from home one day when she felt her throat start to close up and began choking.
Quickly her hands began to twist and it felt like her face was “falling asleep” and she could no longer speak.

She managed to text her mother and brother for help, who rushed over and found her unconscious.
The 24-year-old, who was diagnosed with severe asthma as a child, was taken to hospital where doctors were forced to intubate and later place her in a coma.
Although her body was in the room, little did anyone know what was going on with her spirit at that moment.
“I couldn’t hear almost anything anymore and my body no longer responded,” Mariandree, a graphic designer, told What’s The Jam.
“The last thing I heard was a nurse or doctor say the phrase ‘she left us’.
“And in the blink of an eye I stopped being on Earth and appeared somewhere else.”
This is reportedly when Mariandree met the deity.
She said: “I appeared in a place full of light but without sun, without moon, without stars, sitting at a long table full of food that I had never seen, full of people who no longer had a human body but were beings of light.
“No one spoke to each other through their voice but rather through their mind.
“That was how I was communicating too but to me it was normal because to me, I had always belonged there.
“I did not remember my past life, nor my family nor the Earth, for me none of that had ever existed.
“I experienced the greatest love for all those beings of light, I felt that they were all part of me and I was part of them.
“In front of me sat God.
“I know it was God because he was the greatest light, he was the one who illuminated the entire place, I couldn’t see his face but I knew he was laughing.
“He was very happy and smiling.
“I was impressed by how much he laughed with everyone.
“He paid attention only to me and laughed with me but at the same time he paid the same attention to all the other beings that were in the place.
“We shared a time of celebration for my arrival although I did not know that I had just arrived since I did not remember my past life.”
The influencer, from Guatemala, said: “I saw the colours around me differently and I never felt more fulfilled, with so much peace and joy.
“God got up and took me, he took me apart from the other beings and told me that I had to return, I didn’t understand and I asked him where and why if I didn’t want to leave.
“He explained to me that I was going to return but at that moment I had to return because it was not my time and I had to return ‘for love’.”
Moments later, Mariandree then came out of her come.
She said: “For me it was three hours in heaven but on Earth it was three days.
“A day later I was able to go home with the proper rest and care that that entailed.”
Doctors believe what happened to her is linked to her asthma.
She said: “From a very young age I was very asthmatic.
“I underwent very expensive and painful treatments to try to improve my health but it never worked.
“I spent my entire adolescence going in and out of many hospitals because every time I went out, another crisis occurred.
“And my asthma also worsened with any emotional problems I had.
“We searched with all the specialists but they always said that my case was part of the percentage of people with lethal asthma, where attacks can be fatal.”
Mariandree is now recovered from the incident.
And to this day, she still believes she met God.
She added: “I don’t think it was delirium, I think it was something I had to live because God wanted it that way.
“He chose me to show me what happens after death, to solve that great mystery.
“I feel like he wanted to share some time with me and then he gave me back.”
