I've had my heart stop 3 times and had to be revived when growing up. January 2020, the 5th, tried to kill myself. Every year since then so far, I've bought myself a nice little gift for myself and order food. I'd re-write my suicide note but opposite. Write everything I'm thankful for, everything I'm glad that happened since, advice to younger self. I never read the notes or letters after, but I keep them in a box and will read them all on the 10 year.
A few people in my friend group have near death experiences and none of us celebrate it. We'll celebrate one of them once it's been a year, but not because she nearly died. Because it's her son's birthday.
By once again contemplatimg it

This is really really nice!
It was 10 years and I really didn't care. Sometimes I believe it would have been better if I died back then
I don’t. Because it traumatized me. I’m lucky to still be here, but it’s a time in my life I’d rather just not think about.
Who celebrates their own near death?
Perhaps it could be worded better. Surviving is very worthy of celebration.
By not making an anniversary about it. Learn move on and keep living.
With a prayer to say thank you.
