STRONGSVILLE, Ohio, September 16, 2019 — A sudden cardiac arrest
during a morning run left George Muller literally lifeless on the
pavement of a high school 300 miles from home. His odds of
surviving the condition were about 1 in 100. Two years after coming
out of a coma, with the help of advanced medical technology, but
mostly through power of prayer, love, devotion and kindness,
George and Betsy – George’ wife of 35 years and best friend for 40
– continue to make a startling comeback.
Today, in commemoration of National Rehabilitation Awareness
Week (September 15-21, 2019), Betsy has launched the story about
the worst day of her life and the recovery that followed. The
Comeback: An Energy Makeover Love Story, now available on Amazon, reveals Betsy’s
deepest emotions during a devastating time and offers insightful, practical information
to prepare readers to respond should the unthinkable happen to them.
“This is a story to inspire all of us to be our very best to have faith, to have hope and to
love other people into wellbeing,” said Betsy, an accredited international master trainer
of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a practice that she said helped to prepare her
to remain calm and make difficult decisions during a time that she often felt all alone.
“Our story is a message to proud and healthy athletic people who think they can’t be
taken down,” Betsy said. “It’s a story about how important it is to take care of yourself so
that you’re in the best position to handle a crisis that involves the most important
person in the world to you. I found myself having to deal with things that I rarely
thought enough about, such as medical coverage and getting bills paid when you’re
unexpectedly away from home for weeks.”
Residents of Strongsville, Ohio, Betsy and George were on a weekend getaway in
Michigan when George had his sudden cardiac arrest. He received CPR from a stranger,
followed by five shocks from an Automated External Defibrilllator when a squad arrived
moments later. While George was hospitalized and in a coma, he later underwent
therapy to literally learn how to live again, Betsy wrote daily – frequently on Facebook –
to help her process what she was going through. The Comeback reveals the hope, love
and sometimes desperation of her thoughts.
“George and Betsy Muller’s story is very compelling,” said Dr. Nate Bergman, DO, MBA,
chief scientific wellness officer at Kemper Cognitive Wellness, of Highland Heights,
Ohio. “It is a story of overcoming trauma and triumphant hope. I am honored to be part
of their care team as George and the Muller family continue to thrive.”
The book discusses Betsy and George’s life together, from the time they met as students
at the College of Wooster, to their marriage and parenting of a son and a daughter.
George retired in 2015 from a career in marketing, including working as director of
creative services for the Cleveland Browns. He also served as the head coach for
Strongsville High School’s men’s lacrosse team. Betsy is the founder of The Indigo
Connection LLC, an holistic coach, spiritual business
leader and inspirational speaker about women’s health and self care. She is the author of
Energy Makeover: A Conscious Way to Stay Young, Have Fun and Get More Done!

The Comeback: An Energy Makeover Love Story is available on Amazon.
