    Richard nails it, if people are having memory issues and their happy that's wonderful. The last times I spoke to my 96 year old Grandfather, he thought I was an old friend (1920's old) and was talking about how much fun we had and that we need to get together again. He was so happy, I went along with it and we some laughs.

      My grandma is still alive with dementia she was the last person that she forgot. We had a incredible bond I’m her grandson and over great financial costs to myself I took care of her. She helped raise me when my parents weren’t good people. They got help got off the drugs and go therapy. I love them very much even tho my childhood was bad i feel people deserve a second chance and for 15 plus years they have been my rock. I hate the disease 🦠 that has took my grandmas mind. She sometimes remembers who I am, but thinks I’m a teenager I’m 35 now. Anyway sorry for the long comments Doc said I was borderline high functioning autistic . I love my grandma and it hurts me so much that this has happened to her

    I died, my heart stopped after a dramatic loss of blood. I was lucky to have my Mother there, all I remember is asking her “am I going to die now”, then all I saw was dark but absolute peace, no pain or fear about it….obviously they revived me but that is the most poignant memory I think I will ever have. Truly a life changing thing.

    I once fell while skiing in the Alps, and I knew instantly that I would go off a cliff any second and fall to my death, no matter what I would try. It was the most serene feeling I ever had. I eventually saw faces with moving lips and realized that I must have not fallen off the cliff. It took some time for my hearing to return and me being able to move again.

  • @Prince-qr1te

    Having a near-death experience will bring a total shift in perspective that there's no coming back from. In the split second before you think it's over, you realise just what's really important and what you've wasted your time with.

    Interesting how significant trees are. When my parents weren't well and I was staying with them I dreamt I walked through their village, out the other side, up a gentle hill that wasn't an effort, turned round and sat with my back to a tree until I woke up. I was very comforted by the dream.

    I'm really glad Mindy got angry and really shouted at him, I don't think he would've survived if she had not done so. I really think that coma dream was Richard making his departure from this world, but Mindy shouting at him made him turn round and decide to stay here.

    What he says about shouting at the person is very interesting. I remember when my dad was dying and and had fallen into a coma (he was terminally ill), I could see he was fighting to stay alive even though he wasnt conscious. I stroked his head and told him it was ok and everything was taken care of and that he should just let go and he calmed and passed away soon afterwards. I didnt want him worrying about us, and to know we were all taken care of would have been extremely comforting to him. The reason im saying this is that people in comas can still be communicated with and to some degree understand what is going on. Very interesting indeed.

    3:02 Fear appears when there's time to think what could go wrong, before the situation happens. The moment you realize that your life is about to end and that there is no going back, there is acceptance.
    I had a very near death experience and I remember lying on the floor just waiting to die. At that moment in the floor, feeling my blood gushing out my body, the world had stopped.
    I swear to God that I was in such peace of mind.

    5:20 - 100% agree with this. I cared for my father after he had a stroke, and then several more. His memory wasn't ever the same again and it's something that I had to adapt to more as his carer than he did- his memory long term was still sharp as a tack. Short term memory was full of holes and he needed constant reminders about things. Normally he was perfectly happy. Some few times realisation crept in and that was hard for us both. He would get very distressed as he 'knew' at that point that he wasn't quite 'right'. Those times where worse than when he just went about his day not realsiing that his memory was gone. Bless him. Glad the Hampster managed to more or less recover from this.

    I love hearing Richard speak about this. Thanks for this DOCEO. I almost sense conflict in Richard. I wonder, illogical as it is to those who have never experienced near-death experiences, did Richard leave part of himself at that tree? How can life ever hold the same adventure after you have experienced the peace of the after-life?

  • @ianscott5293
    @ianscott5293 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    100% agree with the description of the acceptance of death. I had an aviation near collision (Airprox) that I reported as 50ft horizontal and 20ft vertical. As it happened I went from surprise, to shock, to fear, to total resignation of impending death. But, it didn’t happen and once I knew then a massive rush of adrenaline leaving the system. Very strange to observe, almost as an outsider, the whole physiological process.

    3:15 is exactly how I felt when I almost died. No fear, just a realization. “Ohh, so this is how I die.” So strange - it should be a terrifying moment, but when it happens, you’re totally ok with it.

    I had a near death experience last year. It's not scary at all when you face your end, you just melt into it and you're more alive than ever. I urge anyone who hasn't to research near death experiences because every single time people give more or less the same accounts. Living is scarier than dying
