Near death experience... what do I say/do?

Question

My boyfriend almost died this weekend. The doctor's don't know what happened but the campus EMS and police found him without a pulse lying face down. He lost a lot of blood and they resuscitated him at the scene and again at the hospital.

For some strange reason, which I don't know myself, he was discharged after being stabilized only 7 hours after being admitted. He SEEMS quite similar to the man I knew before this occurred. But, he says things are very different. He is perceptive to things he never was before; is eating things he never ate; hears sounds that he never picked up on before.

What do I say to him? How do I help him through this? I care about him so much but don't know what to do. He basically died and came back to life... twice... and is trying to get right back into the swing of things without giving his body time to get the rest it desperately needs.

Please help. Thank you so much.

He's probably just found a passionate appreciation for life. Not just life's events, but life itself. There's such a bolder distinction in small things like the body's senses that seem so much more awakened after you experience something like that. That best thing you can do for him now is to be with him as much as you can and help him through his experience. If he's having trouble remembering something (the experience you described would result in the loss of a decent amount of brain cells), help him remember or explain to him why that memory was special. If he feels lonely or scared, make sure he knows that you're there for him.

I hope he gets better soon :) Good luck

Wow im really sorry about this maybe try not to bring it up unless he wants to talk about it. Comfort him and be there for him. Just try not to put any stress on him and let him no you care.
