Donna Rigney has been to heaven and hell. During her interview with Sid Roth, she shares the secrets of the afterlife.
Her First Experience in Heaven
At the age of seven, Donna met Jesus while attending a Catholic church. She had no prior knowledge about who Jesus was, but at that time, she just knew He was God.
She describes what Jesus showed her in heaven, “It looked heavenly, and in the clouds, it was beautiful. And he was so wonderful and friendly. He cared about every single thing that concerned me as a seven-year-old. He cared if my mother was angry with me or if I had a fight with somebody; he was talking to me about all the things that were bothering me as a child. And I just felt so completely understood and loved,” Donna said.
And that’s when her search for more of God began.
Coming from a Catholic background, Donna thought, “Well, where can I better find Him than in a convent?”
Finding God the Second Time
After two and a half years of being at the convent she hadn’t learned much more about Jesus. Then Donna encountered God again.
While reading the life story of Pat Boone, she received Jesus as Savior and was filled with the Holy Spirit!
“I didn’t start having visitations immediately. It was a struggle for me to hear God speak… So I was frustrated. I would get alone with God, and I would say, “I want to hear you. I want to hear you like everybody else does.” Every day I pursued him,” Donna said.

Indeed, she found Him through the scriptures, “So, I began to see that whenever I was reading scripture, the sentences that would just jump out and touch my heart were Jesus talking directly to me through the word.”
But as she was seeking God deeper and deeper, she started having these encounters in hell and heaven.
Woman Who has Been to Heaven and Hell
Donna witnessed the Chamber of Despair in hell. She describes it as “a place that people who are tormented by demons in their minds are sent to. These demons were already tormenting these people on earth, causing them, even some, to commit suicide.”
“And rather than turn to Jesus for help, they didn’t. They denied Jesus, got mad at Jesus, and the enemy was able to bring them there. These people were tortured daily.”
In that place, many recognized that Jesus was there, and they started yelling out to him, screaming for him to help them. And Donna remembered Him saying, “I can’t help you now.”
Jesus doesn’t Want to See People Suffer
While Donna was standing beside Jesus with His arms around her, she could feel His broken heart at the sight of people suffering.
He said, “Daughter, I am in more pain watching these people suffer like this needlessly. If they had just accepted Me, if they had just turned from their sins and turned to Me, this would not have been their lot in life. They would never have come here.”
He said, “I died for them so they would live forever in my kingdom.”
When asked what the most important thing people should be doing right now, Donna answered, “The most important thing for us to be doing is spending time in intimate fellowship with the Lord. That is the most important thing. That’s what he’s looking for.”
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” (Isaiah 23:3, NLT).
