Tan Mom says she's on the mend after being placed in a coma, and also revealed what she saw when she briefly crossed over into the afterlife.

Patricia "Tan Mom" Krentcil called into Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show on Monday morning to give a health update after falling ill and ending up in the ICU.

"I was in a coma ... literally for 2 weeks," Tan Mom explained.

She said, "my body went into a state of shock," and when Howard asked if she went to heaven, explained that she saw "shopping malls and beaches."

Tan Mom claimed that when she woke up, "everyone was staring at me," but believes she is finding strength after the ordeal.

The Blast broke the story, Tan Mom was put into a medically induced coma after suffering a cardiac arrest while dealing with a nasty bout of pneumonia.

Doctors were trying to drain fluid from her lungs, which was extremely difficult after her years of being a heavy smoker.

After the medical emergency, Tan Mom has vowed to quit smoking and work on improving her health.

The pseudo reality star recently relocated to Florida from New Jersey to work on her music career. She has recently seen a surge of success after her hit song "Free To Be Me" debuted on the Howard Stern Show and became an anthem heard by millions of people around the world.
