What it feels like after being dead

Lauren Canaday, from Virginia, has explained what it  feels like to be dead (before being resuscitated) - and how it changed her 

Interview with Newsweek.

As she began to recover, Canaday said she found overwhelming joy in small moments, eg. taking a shower or eating a hospital cheeseburger.

'None of the worries I used to have mattered. Things just felt very simple,' she said.

'I feel like this is my second life,' Canaday added. 'I feel like I have two birthdays.

'In my first life, I was very individualistic and strong. In this life, I have a completely different worldview ...

'A lot of stuff like status and career success don't matter beyond survival needs, creature comforts, and helping others (now).'
