The Day I Died: Ten True Stories from People Who Teetered at the Brink of Death and Then Returned to Share Their Near-Death Experiences

The Day I Diedbrings together 10 profoundly moving testimonies from people who have passed through the limits of human endurance and beyond. Around the world, ordinary people go about their daily lives convinced they've had a glimpse into the afterlife. Their eyewitness accounts often share uncanny similarities, and this book does justice to this beguiling subject by analyzing narratives and shedding light on a phenomenon at the crossroads of the medical and the mystical. Tammy Cohen presents several intriguing real-life accounts, including a man who "died" on the operating table and awoke with increased psychic abilities, a victim of domestic abuse who had a life-changing unusual out-of-body experience, plus stories from people who had "drowned" and "died" of heart attacks. Powerful, challenging, and endlessly fascinating,The Day I Diedcelebrates both pleasurable and distressing near-death experiences.
