People Reveal the Near-Death Experiences That Changed Them Forever

This person was unconscious for two weeks after a pulmonary embolism caused by DVT. Their memory had a clear beginning and end, but nothing in the middle. They said, “I remember going in and coming out. The time in between was black.”
