What do you think it'll be like to die?

Post Reply New Topic

I remember when I was put under for surgery. There was an IV in my hand and the doctor injected milky white substance into it. He said 'you're going to feel a little burning sensation'. I watched as the milky stuff traveled to my hand, I felt a little burning and then that was it, lights out.

I thought later on that's what it must be like to die. At least under peaceful circumstances. I figure dying and death must be like if I had never woken up from the anesthesia. That's the physical aspect. As for the spiritual aspect, that's another matter.

I remember that same kind of think when I had surgary. I remember the milky white stuff in the big syringe and counting down from ten. That was a really nice feeling as I felt the coldness of the liquid coursing through my veigns and the peaceful feeling as I slipped into nothingness, probably one of the nicest feelings I've had and then I woke up again later but it was nice while it lasted. If only it were that painless when it does happen for real.

I know that dying will trigger an electro chemical reaction in your brain as oxygen deprivation sets in, i'm not gonna go into detail about it to ruin it for those who do not want to know, but there has been research about it.

When he was a toddler, my father was thrown in a river by some as*hole kids, at one point he saw himself from a position above the river as if floating. Later on in life during bypass heart surgery, he was clinically dead for a while during the operation, he told me that he didn't see anything. So i think there is sort of one-shot reaction that happens during death that cannot be repeated. If triggered, it sounds like it won't be restored, but there is no way to tell since no one has "come back" and reported on it

If i go, i want to go like he did, in his sleep. He didn't move or make any indication to tip off my mother that he passed away. He was agitated before it happened and i think he knew because one week before he had been to a quintuple stent insertion operation. I fear the pain the the panic that sets in when the realisation sets in that i'm about to leave this world, much more than the actual concept of being dead. If there is an afterlife, well, then that is more comforting.

After my fathers death i've seen and heard things that makes me wonder about the afterlife... i googled it and it is common for people to experience such things after a loved one has passed away, but when two people see the same thing you start to wonder.

Great, I can’t wait for it.

Apart from the discomfort you go through before you die.

Wonderful.

Have you ever thought that whatever you die from, your death will be due to respiratory failure?

I don't know what it would be like to die, but it sounds euphoric and relieving the more I think about it.

I read that test pilots strapped into human centrifuges, at the moment of black-out, a lot of them reported being awake and carefree in some other place, like the beach, or back home. anyways, when my dad died, within a few hours of his death, he awoke both me and my mom simultaneously, by shouting out our names in our heads. me and my mom compared notes, that is how I know it was simultaneous. there is an interesting book called "Hello from Heaven" which talks about documented cases of after-death communication, that I highly recommend.
