A man who spent a week and a half in a coma has revealed what he saw during his experience.
Working as an accountant, Travis Shreeve had gained weight during the pandemic due to his busy, inactive style job.
And after contracting Covid, his health plummeted and he ended up being rushed to the emergency room.
Travis was coming down the stairs of his home and heading out to a hospital appointment when he began struggling to breathe.
After telling his wife to call an ambulance, he collapsed in the hallway.
Looking back, he said he remembered ‘little bits’ of the journey to the hospital, but soon fell into a coma.

Travis said he was ‘more aware than [he] would ever want to be’ while in a coma, and believed that the nurses and doctors ‘didn’t care’ about him.
“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.
Speaking to Wesly Lapioli of the Prioritize Your Life podcast, he claimed that the week and a half in a come ‘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,” Travis continued.
However, after being in such a dark place, as his body became exhausted, Travis found himself ‘elsewhere’.
Describing this place, Travis said ‘it was beautiful, it was white, it was clean’.
“The thing that told me that this was not earth was that it was so clean, everything was just flawlessly clean,” he added.
His time here made Travis ‘totally’ forget his crisis.

Revelations became deeper when Travis told Lapioli of his interactions with two individuals in this ‘elsewhere place’.
“I knew there were two people, I don’t know why I knew there was a second person because I didn’t see a shadow, I didn’t hear anything, I just knew there were two,” he said.
Travis described a woman, who he felt he knew and loved, who told him ‘everything [was] going to be okay’.
He told the podcast: “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.”
Soon after this, Travis found himself back in the hospital, but said he had ‘confidence’ that the woman had ‘found a way out’ for 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.”
