Country singer Gabby Mooney<\/a>, sister of Dan + Shay\u2019s<\/a> Shay Mooney, has faced plenty of challenges while chasing her musical dreams, but none can compare to the night she nearly lost her life. She appears in Hulu\u2019s IMPACT x Nightline<\/em> in the new episode \u201cBack From The Dead,\u201d to tell her story and debut her new single, \u201cSafe.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahead of the episode, which is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, the songstress sat down for an emotional interview with ABC\u2019s Nightline<\/em> correspondent\u00a0Ashan Singh. She explained that all the plans she had for her life and her music career almost came to a screeching halt a few years ago. What started as a bad headache on a normal drive home to Arkansas in 2023 quickly turned into a life-or-death emergency that changed her forever.<\/p>\n \u201cThis one was so pounding that I could barely see the road, but I remember thinking, I\u2019m just going to keep driving,\u201d she recalled. \u201cYou\u2019re going to feel so much better in your own bed. And I just wanted to make it\u00a0home.\u201d<\/p>\n Singh notes that while Mooney did arrive to the comfort of her own home, she had no idea what the night would hold. Just hours after heading to bed, her mom woke up in the middle of the night and found that Mooney had gotten much sicker.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s like, \u2018ah, I think we need to take you to the hospital.\u2019 And I said, \u2018no, no, no, I\u2019m good.\u2019 And she said, I started having seizures,\u201d Mooney recalls. \u201cIt was tornado weather, so the ambulances were not running. And so my dad and my mom, they called a private ambulance company and they met them at a Baptist church about a few miles up the road so they could get me to the ER faster. I was having apparently multiple seizures in the ambulance.\u201d<\/p>\n Once she reached the hospitals, the singer revealed she flatlined while doctors attempted to intubate her.<\/p>\n \u201cI died,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n It was in that moment between life and death that Mooney says she felt the presence of Jesus more clearly than ever before.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was \u2018dead,\u2019 I just knew that it was just like Jesus\u2019 hand was just going like this, and my spirit was rising and it was just like, not yet. And I felt that of knowing that it was not my time, and it was just like this communication between me and the father, but also it felt the most peaceful, incredible feeling I had ever felt in my life. I didn\u2019t want to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans can learn more about her 2023 health scare that nearly took her life, the profound experience she had on the other side, and how she has turned that terrifying night into a story of resilience in the Halloween edition of the show produced by IMPACT\u00a0by Nightline<\/em>.<\/p>\n In the episode \u201cBack From the Dead,\u201d<\/em> correspondent Ashan Singh dives into society\u2019s fascination with death, the afterlife, and paranormal experiences.
