In A Coma For Days - What He Saw Will Blow Your Mind
What Researchers Found
The Story
Travis Shri, an accountant, suffered a severe COVID-19 infection during tax season. He became overweight from sedentary work and ignored his health until his breathing worsened. His wife took him to the hospital on May 17, where he was intubated and fell into a coma. During the NDE, Travis felt trapped and terrified in the hospital, fighting to breathe. He then entered a beautiful, clean white place like molded pearl with light everywhere. He met a loving woman and sensed another presence. She showed concern for his children, laughed lovingly, and reminded him he was dying. She intervened on his behalf, assuring everything would be okay. He saw an image of his family and heard they would be whole again. Travis returned to the hospital multiple times but felt peace. After recovering, Travis realized the woman was his deceased daughter Whitney, who died at 16 months from a genetic condition. The other presence was his son Vincent, who died at 8. This replaced his painful memories with adoration and love. He gained trust in God, a stronger sense of duty to care for others, and belief that his children watch over the family, especially siblings. He endures life's difficulties knowing crises will resolve in the afterlife.
