She Went Without Oxygen For 40 Minutes And Was Given A 6% Chance Of Survival, Yet She Survived
In rare medical situations, a person can die and come back to life, either through resuscitation or a complete miracle.
The latter happened to a UK woman named Kirsty Bortoft (@kirstybortoft) in January 2021.
She stopped breathing for over 40 minutes and miraculously emerged from a coma with zero brain damage, making a remarkable recovery, even though doctors had given her only a six percent chance of survival.
She was found unconscious by her fiancé, who called for an ambulance and did CPR on her. At the hospital, she was put into a coma for 48 hours.
Her family was told several times to prepare for the strong possibility that she could not be revived.
Then, against all odds, she came back to life and is now stronger than ever. Currently, Kirsty is an award-winning anxiety mind coach, meditation teacher, and best-selling author.
She helps people free themselves from negativity and feelings of stress and worry.
Before this medical miracle, Kirsty suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. She was generally just an over-worrier.
But her brief death was a life-changing event.

After being given a second chance at life, Kirsty has been able to let go of her old self and live life to the fullest while helping others do the same.
“Worry is an illusion based in a future moment that has not happened! Second chance at life! I get present and enjoy every moment,” Kirsty wrote in the caption of her TikTok video.
Several TikTok users were inspired by Kirsty’s story, and some even shared their own near-death experiences.
“Thank you for this video. I needed to see this today. I have health anxiety and worry so much about dying. So glad you are ok,” commented one user.
“I died for 20 min! I came back! I totally agree…take every single moment. Live!” exclaimed another.
“TY. This helped me. The worrying has been beating me down,” wrote a third.
