Georgina Scull, author of Regrets of the Dying: Stories and Wisdom that Remind Us How to Live, and Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure for Sleep, shared their near-death experiences and their best advice on how we can choose to change our lives and live more fully.Georgina had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured when she was 37. After doctors told her she could have died, she set out to meet others who had faced a near-death experience, to discover what it means to live life to the fullest.
“So it just took me so many years to separate myself from that past, worrying about all the things I hadn't done, and all the things I wanted to do in the future. I didn't get on with the here and now and that's what I had to do. I finally really looked at the things that were making me unhappy.”Tanya almost died after a post-partum arterial haemorrhage aged 33. After coming out of an induced coma, she decided she wanted to live differently in her ‘second life’.
“Your wake-up calls are often sudden, and in emergencies, but to make good on them takes patience and time.” “To begin anew and keep going – slowly, steadily – without a map and compass, guided only by your deepest dreams and values,” says Tanya. “There’s no certain destination, but it’s still a journey worth taking. Be open to chance along the way. The best life changes can’t be planned in advance.
