The Story

ndesuicide attemptmixedMajor Transformation⭐ 8/10 Intensity

Gerhard Schug had a near-death experience after attempting suicide due to worsening COPD. During his experience, he felt he was in hell. After waking up in intensive care, he felt a strong change in his life. He received positive support from others and decided to pray to Jesus Christ. Soon after, he experienced a miraculous recovery and could breathe freely without needing oxygen. This change surprised him and his doctors. After the NDE, he developed a stronger faith and a new outlook on life. He no longer fears death and feels grateful for his life and the support he received.

And back then when I woke up, I realized immediately, I don't have the right to take my own life which God has given me. And then it just went on step by step.
