As a certified Human Resources Professional, Joshua Damours spent years helping others navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions. Today, he brings that same compassion and insight to his writing, inviting readers into a conversation about mortality, consciousness, and what it truly means to be alive. Through his memoir, Joshua hopes to offer comfort to those who fear death, hope to those facing life’s darkest moments, and reassurance that even amid suffering, there may be a deeper purpose waiting to be discovered. Josh's debut title is called Between Breaths. On Christmas Day 2017, Joshua Damours went into surgery expecting to wake up a few hours later. Instead, he found himself somewhere he never expected to be-and he didn’t want to come back. In Between Breaths, Damours recounts the near-death experience that transformed his understanding of life, death, and the human soul. A gay man confronting clinical depression, anxiety, heartbreak, and a lifelong search for acceptance, he never imagined a routine surgery would carry him beyond physical existence. There, he encountered three beings of light, received extraordinary downloads of knowledge, and witnessed the transition of hundreds of thousands who perished in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. What he discovered beyond the veil continues to shape his life and this memoir.
