First, I am sorry that you went through that.

Near death experiences do not happen to everyone who dies and is resuscitated. Supposedly, according to Wikipedia [1], it only happens to 10-20% of people. If someone is critically ill, it happens to 17% of those people.

But, it does happen to some people who go in to cardiac arrest.
