A woman has shared that she experienced glimpses of heaven and hell after attempting to take her own life as a teenager.

Tamara Laroux revealed that emotional trauma began to consume her after her parents separated. While she lived with her mother following the divorce, Laroux felt rejected when her father maintained contact only with her siblings.

The situation reached its peak when Laroux, at 15 years old, made the heartbreaking decision to end her life.

The teenager took her mother’s gun, aimed it at herself, and pulled the trigger—what followed was an event she believed to be a divine intervention.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Laroux shared that she had witnessed both heaven and hell that day.

“When I pulled that trigger… I knew my body was dying,” she recalled.

“I felt the blood rushing through my lungs. Death gripped my body. I became blind and deaf.”

“As my soul left my body, I began traveling faster than the speed of light.”

Laroux went on to describe the experience as her ‘falling’ into hell, describing it as an ‘explosion’ inside her body.
