Travis Shreeve's near-death vision: A journey to the afterlife
American Travis Shreeve was on his way to the hospital when he collapsed at home. He lay in a coma for over a week. Today, he reveals what he "saw" during that time, where he "was," and to whom he owes his "return to the living."
Working as an accountant, Travis Shreeve gained weight during the pandemic due to his sedentary work style. Additionally, after contracting COVID, his health rapidly deteriorated, so he decided to go to the emergency room.
He was heading down the stairs in his house to leave for the hospital. However, he realized he was having breathing difficulties. He asked his wife to call an ambulance. In the meantime, he lost consciousness. He remembers snippets of the journey to the hospital, but soon after, he fell into a coma.
He admitted that he was "more aware than [he] would ever want to be." He had the unsettling feeling that the medical staff at the hospital didn't care about him at all.
I was seeing the nurses come in, I was very aware of them, they were coming in, and they wouldn't talk to me, they were just ignoring me and I felt that something was dangerously wrong, he recalled.
In an interview on the YouTube channel "Prioritize Your Life," he confessed that the week and a half felt like three months.
It was the most terrifying thing of my life times 10, I was fighting to breathe. I fought, and I fought and, I fought to breathe and there was a point where I felt such exhaustion that I felt like this is my last breath, he recounted.
The body had no strength to fight. Travis found himself "elsewhere"
When his body was about to give up, Travis felt that he was "elsewhere." He described the place as "beautiful, white, and clean." Everything there was immaculate, which made him completely forget his crisis.
He also added that he felt the presence of another person, a woman. He knew it was a woman he knew and loved, who told him everything would be alright.
She had spoken to me almost through downloaded information to say that she somehow intervened on my behalf, I don’t know whether she impressed something upon a doctor's mind or plead with God on my behalf, I don’t know what that was, but I came to understand she did in fact intervene on my behalf, I just knew it, he explained in the interview.
Soon after, he realized he was back in the hospital, but he was already sure that the woman whose presence he felt had "found a way out" of him.
One last time I was shown an image, it’s like I wasn't allowed to fully remember the image, but there was my family and there were a couple other individuals, and she spoke to me one more time, this was my only moment of peace in the hospital, and she said, ‘Everything is going to be okay, we will be whole again’, and I felt something special about that, added Travis.
