Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: From the time a patient is successful liberated from life support, patients experience tremendous upheavals. Many of them explore spiritual questions searching and strength in relationships. This study is about the lived experiences of people after surviving life support. The purpose of this study is to describe the lives of people who experienced being hooked to a life support and understand the meaning attached to their personal lives and interpersonal relationships using the phenomenological-hermeneutical description of themes and patients. It also aims to bring to light through exploration within a hermeneutic phenomenological framework, life after life support. Life after life support is unique and complex, thus, physiological factors as well as psychosocial and spiritual components play an important role in the changes in life after life support. Open, unstructured, in-depth interviews with four participants who experienced life support provide the data for the study. All informants told their stories in a vivid and in-depth way. The analysis of data reveal five themes relating to the phenomenon of life after life support. 1. Learning to love myself, with subthemes which include a.) Work, work, work in moderation and b.) Saying goodbye to my lifestyle; 2.) Connecting and Bringing together with subthemes which include: a.) I am back to where I belong, and b.) Getting special treatment from my friends; 3. Holding on with the Divine Source; 4. Hope, Optimism and strengths; and, 5. Happy to return. As this study unveiled the life after life support of the informants, it also developed the life after life support of the informants, it also developed the life of these four life support survivors. They are people who successfully hurdled the experience. They once needed intervention to sustain breathing and hence, life but they were able to surpass it. They are different people, needing life support in different places at different times and with different reasons. They once arrived at a state of limbo, but they all made it to go back displaying dramatic changes in their lifestyles, outlook in life, attitudes towards God, illness, death, family relationships, goals in life, lifetime habits and activities participants who experienced life support provide the data for the study. All informants told their stories in a vivid and in-depth way. The analysis of data reveal five themes relating to the phenomenon of life after life support: 1.
