Gabby Mooney's Near-Death Experience: A Journey of Faith and Recovery
Gabby Mooney, a country singer and the sister of Dan + Shay's Shay Mooney, shares a harrowing near-death experience she faced in February 2023 in a new episode of Hulu's IMPACT x Nightline. She recounts how she flatlined at the hospital and had a profound encounter with Jesus before being revived. Mooney's ordeal began on Valentine's Day when she experienced a severe headache while driving home to visit family in Arkansas. Despite hoping for relief with rest, her condition worsened, leading her mother to rush her to the hospital. Due to unsafe weather conditions, a private ambulance was called to transport her, and she recalls having multiple seizures during the journey. Upon arrival at the hospital, her health deteriorated rapidly, resulting in her flatlining and briefly dying. In a poignant moment, Mooney describes feeling a peaceful connection with Jesus, signaling that it was not her time to go. Despite the tranquility she felt, she underwent emergency brain surgery and faced challenges such as facial paralysis in the aftermath, causing her to confront feelings of insecurity. The episode, titled "Back From the Dead," also features the debut of Mooney's new single, "Safe."
