Hubert Berger has been ‘no longer afraid of death’ for almost exactly eight years. The editor of “Krone” explains how his encounter with the end led to a better life.
From one day to the next I could no longer stand, lie down or sit upright because in this position I felt a shooting pain from my hips down my back to my shoulder blades. I wasn’t worried because I thought it was just a pinched nerve; it would pass. But it didn’t go away. On the morning of November 18, 2015, I decided to see a doctor.
I had breakfast and went to the bathroom to do my morning toilet. When I was fully dressed and ready to go, I felt nauseous and an unimaginably sharp pain radiated from my left arm to my heart and seized it in a split second – it felt like it was stuck in an “iron girl” with spikes attached to the inside penetrate.
The feeling of being in a fresh down bed
At the same moment, a pleasant warmth enveloped me, as I knew it from childhood: you lie in a soft, fragrant, freshly washed bed and the first rays of the morning sun shine through the open window. In this pleasant situation you realize that the long summer holidays have finally started. In this moment, which is difficult to capture in time, I felt pain-free, safe, in good hands, protected and at ease.
An hour later, thanks to the quick action of the emergency doctor and a rescue helicopter, I was taken from my hometown of Kufstein to the cardiology department of the University Hospital of Innsbruck, where, fully conscious and without painkillers, six stents were placed in my heart. groin due to the very serious posterior wall infarction that had occurred earlier “were shot”, I had enough time to mentally assess what had happened – as a result: death came to me as a friend who wanted to make my transition to his kingdom easier in a very humane and friendly way.
