The Story

nde overdose very_positive Major Transformation 10/10 Intensity

The experiencer was Vinnie Tolman, who had a near-death experience (NDE) after passing out from an overdose in a Dairy Queen bathroom. He watched as paramedics declared him dead and placed him in a body bag. During this time, he felt immense love and peace. He met a guide who offered to take him home, which he accepted. Vinnie experienced a transformative journey filled with love from nature and healing. After three days of being brain dead, he returned to his body when his brother prayed for him. After the NDE, Vinnie felt a new sense of purpose, prioritized family, and began working with his spiritual guide and angels regularly.
