What a Nice Surprise, Heaven is Real
About
Join Jay-Marie Blue on Saturday 13th June from 3pm–5pm at The Book Nook for the launch of her memoir, What a Nice Surprise, Heaven is Real.'This deeply personal memoir shares my near-death experience, a glimpse beyond life itself, and the profound ways it transformed how I see myself — and what it means to be human. An afternoon of conversation, reflection, and connection as I celebrate the release of my extraordinary journey.'
-------------------------------
She woke up feeling…off.
Not sick. Not in pain. Just different.
Within minutes, her body began to fail.
What followed was a massive heart attack that brought her to the edge of life - and beyond it. As her body shut down, she found herself in a place she had never known, yet somehow recognised. A space filled with overwhelming peace, love, and a sense of being completely held.
And then, she was faced with a choice.
In this deeply personal and vividly told true story, Jay takes you inside the experience of dying - and what it means to return. From the raw physical reality of her body failing, to the unexplainable calm of what came next, this is a journey that challenges everything we think we know about life, death, and what lies beyond.
But this is not just a story about survival.
It is about what happens after you come back carrying the knowing that life is fragile, fleeting, and profoundly meaningful. It is about seeing people differently - feeling their unspoken longing, their quiet hope to be loved and understood. It is about learning to slow down, to notice, to truly be present in a way most of us never are.
This story invites you to step inside a moment that changed everything.
To question what matters.
To feel more deeply.
To live more fully.
Because when you truly understand how precious life is…
you can never see it the same way again.
