We often believe we can live forever, but life can surprise us. One Sunday morning, Ryan Finley woke up and tried to wake his wife, Jill, but she didn’t respond. Alarmed, he called emergency services and performed CPR. Jill had suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital, where she fell into a coma.

Doctors warned Ryan to pray, as Jill’s condition was critical. For two weeks, Jill remained unresponsive while family and friends prayed for her recovery. Her cousin read the Bible to her daily, and Ryan started reading passages aloud with hope.

After 14 days, doctors suggested removing life support, believing there would be no improvement. Ryan made the painful decision to take her off life support. About five hours later, Jill began to move and speak, surprising everyone. Her first words were, “Get me out of here. I want to go home.” She answered questions correctly and asked to visit her favorite Mexican restaurant.

Ryan believes Jill’s recovery was a miracle, a divine intervention. Though she needed time to regain basic skills, they cherished their second chance together. Jill supported Ryan’s decision to remove life support, not wanting to live in a “vegetative” state.
