Millions of people die every year, but millions of people almost die every year as well.

We hear the success stories of those who come out the other side stronger, wiser, and better for their experiences, who mold their tragedy into triumph.

Aaron Ralston, who cut off his own arm with a dull pocket knife in the canyons of Utah, or Danny Bader, who in his

late 20s accidentally touched a live power line and died for a solid eight minutes before coming back Earthside.

Both of these men went on to become motivational speakers, talking about how they used those moments

to transform every other one to follow.

But what happens when you come so close to death, you can literally reach out and touch it,

and the contact left you marred for life, left wounded with scars that reach

far beyond the physical and extend deep into the mental, emotional, and spiritual,

leaving no piece of you unscathed.

What happens when you come back from the brink of death only to find yourself wishing

that you hadn't. Welcome to National Park After Dark. You're going to do. This

sounds like it's going to be an intense episode.

It's heavy for sure, so right off the top, this episode definitely warrants a couple warnings.

Number one, and most importantly, we're going to be talking and making mention of suicidal ideations.

So if you're not in a mental space, to listen, please don't.

And it also contains some graphic descriptions of an animal attack,

because we are going to be talking about a bear molling today.

Oh man you just have a second part there the animal attack just sparked everyone's

interest and everyone's ears perked up like we're back we. We're back. We're back.

We're back.

Yeah. I know and I want to, I always kick myself.
