My sister nearly died from anaphylaxis when she was 12. She said she felt very peaceful, there was no pain, and she didn't feel any grief about dying so young, just happy that she'd had a good life. I'm so glad she didn't die, she's one of my favourite people ever ❤
40 years ago, 11.4.1984. I was electrecuted by 25 000 volts. Some days later, I died but I was resuscitated. It's uncanny that I should come across this video today, exactly 40 years later. The physical healing took about 8 years to complete. The psychological healing is still ongoing. There wasn't any trauma therapy available back in the 80's. I've pretty much figured things out through trial and error. I am grateful to be alive and I slow down to appreciate every day that I'm still given. But my actual point is that dying really is peaceful. It was for me anyway. The things I saw, I've seen again once or twice in dreams. It has always been profoundly comforting experience and given my life meaning and direction. Death is not something to be afraid of, unlived life is.
That’s mind blowing. I can never explain the type of dreams that I have , its like a weird comforting feeling around everything you see , when you wake up it makes you wanna go back.
About 10 years ago, I was very unwell. It turned out that I had pneumonia. Before I was diagnosed and treated, I collapsed one day. I was fighting to get enough oxygen, and in quite a panic. My mobile phone was in my pocket, but I was in such a mess that I couldn't speak, so calling for an ambulance would have been futile. It then occurred to me, that the front door was locked, so I needed to get up off the kitchen floor to open it if I was going to call an ambulance. I couldn't get up; I was struggling to sustain myself lying down. I jokingly said to myself that I may as well call for a funeral director! After that, I stopped struggling. I relaxed completely, and there was no more pain. I felt warm and totally at peace. Nothing mattered anymore: I was at one with everything good in this universe. It was like pleasure, greater than anything I'd ever known. An epiphany! I'm not sure how long I was on the floor for. I didn't check the time as I went down! But I think I was probably there for around an hour. I learnt an important lesson that day. The brain will only allow you to suffer for as much as you can take; it will then remove you from your situation, to a place where you can relax: if you recuperate, you'll come back; if you don't, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. A handful of people may be sad for a while, then go about their lives: most people have no idea who you are; and to the greater universe, you are nothing less, nothing more than you've always been.
Not really bc I lost my grandma 3 mnths ago and I still cry and miss her all the time. A piece of my heart went with her and I feel like Ill never be complete until were together again😞
I hope I feel that peace when I die. There have been moments where I've been completely blissful. Had I died those moments, I wouldn't have cared. With happiness, I'm attached to it, but with bliss & peace, I'm simply experiencing. I wonder if it's the same kind of peace you talk about where nothing matters, but nothing needs to matter.
I watched my FIL die, and he was a warm corpse for about a day before he stopped breathing. Nobody talks about how long it can actually take to die. It’s not at all like TV where they say their goodbyes to family and then lights out. Those goodbyes need to happen weeks in advance because you’re simply not functional in the week leading up to death.
It depends a lot from person to person. I had a really good conversation with my mother the day before she died; where as the weeks before she was hardly conscious, this day she was very lucid and clear.
@LindaJuffermans It's interesting how often this happens. My aunt, my father, and others in a nursing home have all had a lucid episode before passing. It was a, have something you forgot or haven't said yet, now the time.
I remember the day before my grandfather died I went to visit him and he sat in his chair, trying to do something on his phone. I helped him with that and i could tell he really enjoyed that moment. After that we had a long conversation, he talked quite slow at this point though. It still amazes me how much awareness he still had just a few hours before he passed.
My mum is a palliative personal carer which means she's been with many people right to the very end The dying process is draw out for some people, but for others it can be in a flash She told me a story of an old lady who was dying. The driver was inserted which means she only had a couple of days to live maximum, but her son was travelling from Australia to the UK to say his goodbyes She held out until he arrived, but died pretty much 30 mins after she saw his face
@@po72644 My grandma held on for nearly a week after she was told that her sibling, daughter (my mom) and I were coming for a visit later in the week after learning she wasn't doing well at all. She died less than an hour after we arrived, after we'd shared how we're doing and just chatted with her and each other. Weird how sheer will can keep people hanging on for just a little longer even after their bodies are ready to let go.
As a medical professional, it surprised me that you didn't mention "the Surge" and/or "terminal lucidity", two uncommon but very striking phenomena where a terminally ill patient suddenly gets much better a few hours to days before dying. That includes energy levels, apetite, cognition, general mood, etc. It's rare an not well known, so sometimes some family members believe their loved one is getting better... while its exactly the opposite.
Yeah, that happened with my grandma when she had cancer. She was bed ridden and slept 23 hours a day for a few weeks, and then suddenly woke up, full of energy, requested a decent meal, chatted with the nurses, doctors, and family who were there, and then 2 days later she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
@@andrewhooper7603I think it is the body's last hurrah. Our bodies will fight tooth and nail to survive. Even though we're dying, the brain hasn't accepted this, thus releasing chemicals in a last ditch effort for a rally.
My 52-years-old cousin died 2 days ago. He simply went to sleep and asked his wife to wake him up in a couple of hours. When she went to wake him up and he didn't respond she called an ambulance and he was reported dead upon reaching the hospital. I went to see him and he looked like he would just wake up if you call him. Watching this video I'm relieved to know he was relaxed and I hope he had these good dreams you mentioned. R.I.P cousin I'll never forget you.
Crazy thing is I lost my friend back in 2020, heard the news from my other classmate 3 days after he passed. 2 weeks later I had a dream with him in a very very bright place, biblically accurate too heaven. I couldn't see my body, I was looking for my hands, my legs, my torso but seen nothing. Then he appeared out of the brightness and hugged me. Told me he'd see me whenever I arrive there, when, I don't know but just enjoy life while you have it. Love you bro, then walked back off into the light and disappeared
@@mtmcommunity That's crazy. In my culture, it's said that it's dangerous to have physical contact with dead people that appear in your dreams, as they might try to pull you into their realm, leading you to death. I always had that in mind, especially once when I dreamed about my deceased grandfather, who appeared on the other side of a bridge, trying to hug me. I still remember that instead of walking over to him, I just turned around and woke up shorty after it. That was like 15 years ago, and I still remember it with a warm feeling.
I’m literally 21 seconds into this video and the thought of my brain turning off sent me into a flight or fight mode and I got really scared and I had to stop watching 😭 death anxiety has to be one of the most scariest things in the world there’s no comfort you know it’ll happen but you don’t want it to atleast not at this time which is why it’s so nerve wracking ugh!
@@scoobsydoo my exact issues. It's not like other fears, where it'll never happen. It must happen to complete our life cycle. It sounds like there might be more to life after this though, which to me is all I want
@@scoobsydoo Damn so I was not the only one. I literally felt like blood sugar dropping, feeling like I might pass out if this got worse. But the video was still very interesting
"death anxiety" Sounds like you're super egotistical. Like you're so great and important that you think you should just live forever. Just keep eating animals and all that. And occam's razor suggests that there is nothing after this. Why is it so hard for people to believe or accept that our consciousness ends with our bodies? If I lose my seeing organ, I can no longer see. If I lose my hearing organ, I can no longer hear. So what should happen if I lose my thinking organ? I ascend to a higher realm? Give me a break lmao.
When I was a kid I nearly drowned in a river, to the point that I lost consciousness. I have a stark memory of the panic leading up to the moment I couldn't hold my breath any longer and breathed in the first gulp of water. THAT part was horrible, but afterward I very distinctly remember my experience being a lot like what the video describes. I became totally at peace with the fact that I was disappearing, and I spent a few bleary moments looking up at the sunlight rippling above me and thinking that my life had been good enough. People seem to be taking comfort from this video, and I thought sharing this might help reinforce things. 🙂 I'm still scared to die all these years later (I'm 34 now), but it's comforting to me as well that my experience then wasn't a fluke.
I think this entirely depends on the environment you are in when you are dying. When I was 9 my Mom and I were hit by a drunk driver and the only thing I can remember is the gurgling sounds my Mom was making before she died and as I was bleeding the only thing I could think of were those sounds and immense sadness as I tried to cry when I closed my eyes
I had a similar experience! I was 10 and choking. I was very panicked, realised I was going to die, then felt the most peaceful feeling, and in my head I went “oh well” because nothing had to matter anymore, there were no worries or burdens.
@@agustinreyes6111next avatar means u talkin bout recantations cuz i believe in it Im 18 year old probably i wont live for long maybe a year or two max my life was full of suffering since birth i hope i get better in next
Damn... "feeling like home" made me want to cry, not only because it's so affirming, but also because it makes sense. What happened before our birth is unknown, and what happens after our death is too. It's like we've all been there, and will all return at some point. I hope it's a beautiful place full of peace.
According to tons of NDEs and even some doctors, it’s most likely a place full of peace. And yeah I agree, nobody knows what was before our birth and after death, but both sure feel like a place of belonging and home
I nearly died from cardiogenic shock. I was already in the er when I lost consciousness and I felt as if I was drifting into an unusually peaceful and comfortable sleep everything was amazing. The next thing I knew I woke up with a breathing tube down my throat an impella circulating my blood a team of 5-7 doctors working on saving my life. A cardiologist was yelling at me telling me to “fight your dying Jason fight for your life you’re dying” Jason your dying right now you have to fight to live”. The contrast between my perceived comfort while unconscious and reality of my situation once I regained consciousness was like nite and day. I have sense made a full recovery.
My fourteen year old dog died in my arms on the 25th of March, 2024. He was the light of my life and had helped me overcome suicidal ideation in my teens. I lay with him on my bed for his last few hours because the plan was to take him to the vet the following day so he could be put to sleep, but he never made it that long, and just stopped breathing while we lay there. The death rattle scared me, because for weeks now I've been thinking that was him struggling to breathe, and that he suffocated and died in pain and fear. It's comforting to know that he wasn't in any distress and was actually very relaxed. You've given me some peace of mind, and I really can't thank you enough.
What a lovely peaceful passing, lying, so loved, in the arms of his best friend. Bless his darling heart - I know he is so grateful for the life you gave him, and is waiting eagerly for you. He’ll be the first to greet you when you cross! ❤️
@@karianick That's really insensitive. Pets are part of the family, if you ever had a pet you would know that. It's a very normal reaction to be sad and upset when your dog dies--I know I was. Doesn't matter that it wasn't human, the comfort and emotional support they give you is just as valid as human companionship.
In way I suppose that's what's happening ( not getting into the religious side of if) they are returning back to where they came from before the time of thier birth.
I died from a Heart Attack...it was my third one. As soon as my heart stopped, there is no pain. It was the most perfect feeling! When the Doctors finally got my heart going again (After a couple of minutes - I was told later) all the pain came back. I've since had two more; I guess it's not my time yet.
I’ve owned more than 15 dogs, and 2 days before one of them dying, they stopped eating. And the worst part is they tend to go to a place out of site, and that’s it 😞
My dog kind of did that. She stopped eating and one night she wanted to go outside and just kinda wandered around for a while in a very dazed state. She didn't die that night but I had her put down a couple days later since she had lost so much weight and had a seizure in my arms. I couldn't bear to watch her suffer anymore. 😭
@@suicune2001I’m so sorry 😔. I had to put down my 15 year old English Bulldog because she just couldn’t get up to do her needs. The days before I put her down, I took her out in a stroller, and gave her nice streaks every meal. It’s so painful, I have all my dogs ashes here with a photo and their fur just in case someday we will be able to clone them.
@@HARDC8RE_MAMMOTH Yeah, it's really rough but they provide so much joy and we give them the best life we can. ❤ I don't think I'd clone my dog even if I could. I'd rather rescue one in a shelter who needs me. They deserve a good life, too.
Was it a husky? Members of the wolf family share the same trait, when they are dying they choose to isolate themselves far from others so that they can die in peace
My wife passed from cancer in 2009 and was on a morphine drip the last 2 weeks. When her best friend from her childhood walked in the room and was talking in the room my wife heard her and started talking back a little so we knew she could hear us at that point. She did eventually start that horrible breathing sound. She passed on January 30, 2009. R.I.P Randi Whittington
i just lost my dad and watched him slowly pass away in the hospital 😭 been hard lately without him 😭 Edit: thank you for all the love and support ❤️ I'm just a lost soul right now 😭 depressed, sad, lonely, confused.. my world now feels like a dream 🥺 i promise my dad ill take care of my mom and better myself 🙏
My condolences. I too relatively recently witnessed the passing of one of my parents, my mother, about 6 months ago. It will be hard for a while. You will miss your dad a lot. But things will gradually get better and you'll hopefully keep most of the happy memories with you.
As someone who has OD'd and shit, I will say dying is weird, I've never seen a tunnel or light but for some reason, I can picture my dead body from a third-person perspective above my body. Almost like I left my body and then looked down at it.
"The sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent" bro am *_I_* dying? EDIT: Please don't reply if you're just gonna tell me I have sleep apnea or I'm drinking/smoking too much. THIS WAS A LIGHTHEARTED JOKE. I also don't drink or smoke anything so your comments are pointless
I recently watched my father die. He was in a twilight for about a month before he passed. He was just transferred to a hospice center from the hospital and they gave a call to my family saying his vitals aren’t looking good, if you want to be with him when he goes, come now. I’ve never drove so fast, probably would have went to jail if caught. Sat with him and my mom for 6 hours until my sister arrived after her drive from her college. He waited until surrounded by his family. His eyes were closed most of the time I was there but he looked me straight in the eyes as he took his final breath. Seeing this vid gives me a lot of comfort.
I'm glad this video gave you comfort. I'm sorry about your father, but I hope that your final moments together, especially with the info from this vid in mind, give you solace and resolution. Best Wishes!
My mom did the same thing to me back in 2011; eyes closed until the last moment when she looked right at me with a serene look on her face, then drifted away. I felt a lot more at ease about dying after that. And yeah, I drove like a maniac to get there, too. Glad we’re not bunk mates in the slammer. 😂
Thank you. Thank you so much. I watched my dad pass away three years ago and it was heart wrenching to see what he went through with the struggles to breathe. I didn't know if he was afraid or even aware of what was happening as he was in and out of consciousness and to see this what you say was like you released so much stress and depression I have felt all this time for him. It is now like you have made everything right for me and I no longer have to feel my dad went as bad as I thought. I feel you have fixed in my heart what had been broken all this time.
*Psychedelic saved my life from Depression and anxiety,all thanks goes to this mycologist who has been my guide during my journey on DMT,he also got other psychedelic stuffs in his store,shipping discreetly worldwide*
I don't know why I have no desire to live forever. I'm fine with going back into the earth and eventually being forgotten about. In the grand scheme of things, I'm really not that important and my death is inevitable. Sorry of that sounds depressing, but it's the truth of life. Perhaps it gives us more incentive to be kind and live while we're alive.
I mean, technically we don't *know* whether we'll completely cease to exist or go on to something else. Until we go through it ourselves, oblivion is just as speculative as any afterlife
@@stokerbramwell yeah that's true. I think I just return to the earth and bugs and bacteria eat me. Plants grow. Animals eat that. So kinda like reincarnation without the religious attachments. My energy isn't destroyed but recycled.
I'm 39 years old. In 2007, when I was 22, I was given a less than 1% chance to live due to the Stevens-Johnson Reaction I had from the IV and oral antibiotics I was on. When I arrived at the hospital that morning, I was about to be in respiratory arrest (and they were able to vent me before this happened thankfully). My heart rate was 234 (my heart thankfully never stopped nor had to be shocked back into rhythm). And my blood pressure was 70/30, but I was conscious and talking to the nurses and doctors working on me. I remember the ambulance ride, vaguely as I was extremely cold and could not stay awake. I remember the scream of the engine and the EMT saying "Stay awake. I need you to open your eyes." Y'all, that is seriously the most difficult thing in the world to do, but when I arrived at the hospital, I remember being wide awake and feeling absolutely no pain whatsoever. This is important because not only do I have Fibromyalgia and was diagnosed at 12 with it, but I was on antibiotics because of the MRSA staph infection I had from the 4 back surgeries that the surgeon refused to treat properly, and at that point, I had an open wound the size of a softball in my back to my spine to be packed twice a day, but I felt no pain at that moment. Matter of fact, I felt absolutely amazing and could not understand why everyone was worried and in a rush. I was joking and laughing with everyone. I remember the doctor asking my permission to put me on a vent, and I was like "Sure. Yeah. That's fine." And I remember him saying "I'm gonna put you to sleep now.", and the next thing I know, I'm having the most weird dreams, BUT I can still "see" my room, even though at this point, I'm in a 17-day coma. At one point I had a fever of 109 for over a day and a fever of 106 for 4 days. I didn't see any light UNTIL I suddenly was woken up once while they were trying to switch out my PICC Line. I think this was a few days into my being in the hospital for 22 days, and they were using an MRI machine to do the placement, and they were bringing me out of the coma, and they accidentally completely woke me up, and I remember that was the ONLY time the entire time I was at the hospital that I was scared and thought I was going to die. I wear glasses and am legally blind without them, so all I could see was a bright, white light, and 6 gray figures hovering around me. I remember I couldn't breathe (I was being bagged at that point), and I kept trying to move my arms and legs (reaching for my mouth so I could breathe, and by the way, that is an automatic reflex to do that. It's weird and hard to explain.), and I couldn't move because the figures were holding me down, but saying "It's okay. You're okay. You're going to be okay.", but I was absolutely terrified and I remember the last thing I thought was "This is how I die." Next thing I know, I'm being woken up for real and having the tube removed from my throat, and being told to breathe in and breathe out. The entire experience was something that's so incredibly difficult to explain, but I did. When I was actively dying, I felt happy, pain-free, amazing. I couldn't figure out why everyone was so worried. It was the best I have ever felt in my entire life. I'm not afraid of the pain of dying. I'm afraid of missing out on life when I die.
SJS is such a terrifying thing to have! Especially given that the mortality rate for SJS is very high! I remember feeling no pain at all during a massive heart attack that resulted in an emergency cath, but I was extremely scared and I was sobbing because I didn't want to die. Once they pushed the meds (which includes Valium) in the cath lab, my fear mostly vanished. And the only sensation that I felt was a tug in my heart as they were performing the procedure. The cardiologist would tell me to breathe deeply and I would feel that sensation. Other than that I felt nothing.
I feel that now my thoughts about death has changed after seeing multiple people saying they felt no pain, and it makes me feel better to know that the people in my life who have passed away felt little pain when they did die
I think this is likely about people with proper pain meds. My dad had at-home hospice and he started actively dying when I got home over spring break 2 years ago. We couldn't legally have a morphine drip, so he spent his last few days in pure agony, screaming for someone to kill him when he was coherent enough to do so. He barely slept due to the pain. In fact, my mom said that his last words were "I can't breathe." So, keep in mind that what's being explained here isn't what happens for everyone and good pain meds are necessary
Holy shit, I'm so sorry. I hope your dad doesn't have to suffer that pain anymore. It's ridiculous that the healthcare system wouldn't allow your father a peaceful death. I hope you and your family are doing okay with the loss.
@@patchesheadphones3570 As Noname said they weren't legally allowed to administer morphine at home. This is an issue of state laws. There are other pain killers that can be given at home but not everyone is responsive to them.
That’s awful. Depending on the state, at home hospice definitely has a morphine option as long as staff is there to administer it. When they were there for my FIL, they even took us aside and said “you’re not allowed to give this to him, but I’m allowed to show you how to administer it, as well as clearly explain what a lethal dose is, and I have no way of knowing what happens after I leave for the day. Do I need to explain any further?” It never came to that, but they’re not unaware of the situation.
@@modelcitizen1977 We had hospice nurses for my sister-in-law. They weren't allowed to give her "too much" pain killer but they were able to stop feeding her (at her request). She wasn't in any more pain but it did take over a week. Eventually her body shut down without food. My brother was in a hospital in another state. When the end was very near, the nurses were able to keep increasing his morphine until he succumbed.
Yeah, that bit hit me a lil weird, since I have a chronic pain condition, and sometimes need to sleep for a full 24 hour day when my energy is low enough and the fog is bad enough.
"I think about dying all the time, that's why I made this video." LOL I hear you bro. My dad just died like 8 months ago, and it was terrible, but also right at the end it felt somewhat peaceful. I've always been somewhat obsessed with what dying really is so your offhand reference to thinking about dying all the time really felt validating to me. Thank you.
I have been thinking on this a lot lately too, I can barely function I feel I am such a weak person unable to handle things anymore, lost my step dad and it just broke whatever was left of me into pieces.. now all I think about is death and even worse, ways I could die, ways we can suffer as humans and the absolute terror of a pain or condition being so bad and so inescapable that you opt to take medicine to "check out" of life.. that is truly horrifying.. I live in constant fear of these things now, it's paralyzing
@@wesley6442 I want to tell you everything will work itself out eventually but I can't know that for sure. All I can say is I hope you find some activities you can do that take the raw edge off of things for you. The sting of losing someone so close to you doesn't really seem to get any easier, you just learn to accept its presence.
I'm 76 years old and not too long ago experienced a heart attack. It was very painful but once the paramedics came and gave me Nitro and Aspirin the pain subsided and I began to feel very relaxed and comforted that my life was over and I could now relax. I hope you do well and find peace.
@@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger While in the ambulance I asked them what did they give me and they said Nitro and Aspirin. Keep in mind they're not doctors and need to limit medication so as not to give me something that would conflict with another medication given at the hospital that could save my life.
I was with my Grandfather when he passed, and we went through all of this as well. Let me take a moment to say, I saw him as clear as day about a week after he passed. At the same time, I saw a strange look on my mother's face, and I asked if she was ok, she said her father had just said "Everything is going to be ok" into her ear by which I saw him standing. I've shared this story with lots of other people who have also seen family members after they passed. I don't know what it means, but it does give me a little comfort.
Speaking from experience: in 2018, I suffered a MAJOR heart attack that actually killed me twice -- they had to resuscitate me from flatline twice in the hospital. I can't really describe the experiences and my memories -- although I do recall waking up entubated after the second flatline experience, trying to raise my hands to my face and feeling them restrained to the sides of my gurney, and thinking "Oh, so, we have come to this." I'm certain that I was on some extremely powerful sedatives at the time; the cardiologists had just drained 1,300ccs of dead blood from the pericardial membrane around my heart so that my heart could beat again. Here's the thing: I KNEW what condition I was in and that I had very little chance of coming through it alive. The fact that I did is much more a testament to the skill and determination of my cardiologists than it is to anything I contributed to the experience. But, dying, those two times, was far and away the most PEACEFUL experience I have ever known in my life, and that includes some thirty years of fairly regular meditation. Nature is not cruel. The pain of dying is what results from us fighting to live. When we accept our fate, there is no more pain, no more distress, no more fear. I don't know what comes next; I never saw a tunnel of light nor met long-deceased relatives waiting to guide me to the Great Beyond. But, the fact that dying, itself, is a peaceful experience leads me to believe that whatever comes next, we will enjoy it.
I do hope you're right about enjoying what comes next. Unfortunately there seems to be no empirical evidence to support the idea of an afterlife. For all we know, death is truly the end. I really wish it wasn't though, I like the idea of living on in some other realm and being able to reconnect with loved ones who have passed away.
My process of "dying" was different when I was terminally ill with pneumonia in 2016 🤒 but I came back, recovering well, amazing my Doctors. There is an etherial dimension and you don't need to be at death's door to experience it.
@@SpecialAgent666 Got a vitamin injection immediately blacked out. Woke up with a pounding on my chest the paramedics had to do cpr on me. All I recall was tingling in my arms then blackness until I woke up again.
@@andrewsmith8715 Right, what you described earlier sounded like a blackout to me but I needed more details. So now, that injection sounds more like a poison. What vitamin was that supposed to be? Does your body naturally produce it? Why did you need it? Maybe you had a bad reaction to a synthetic form of it. Or maybe someone made a mistake with the syringe, like using the wrong medication. This is a serious medical Malpractice suit if that's the case. Blacking out just means your soul is still intact in your body.
I watched my mom die. I saw this video at 11:11. I’m a medical provider, very clinical, but have never been able to come to terms with watching her die. I feel she led me to this video to help me understand.
I’m very sorry about your mom. This doesn’t compare to losing your mother. But I was just telling my gf how I bag up pets that we put down and it’s very hard knowing it’s someone’s loved one. There are special clients, owners that we’ve seen over the years and those do hurt. But none of that prepared me for when I had to put my first pet down. Crazy how even when they’re at rest the universe helps us connect to our loved ones. Que descanse en paz.
Thank you for having the courage to make these videos. My story time: my oldest son was enlisted in the US Army National Guard, a new father, and preparing for wedding his fiancé when he was diagnosed after dozens of incorrect “walking pneumonia” suppositions as having a mediastinal (chest cavity) sarcoma. This is a misfired bone cyst defect that for unknown reasons triggers MOST OFTEN in men in their early 20s. It is 1 in 5M or less known cancer, which is 99.99% lethal. I watched my 23 year old son, a trained diesel generator engine specialist with plans to enter mechanical engineering full time, waste away under chemotherapy, which DID shrink the tumor dramatically, but also watched as it recovered faster than his body. He passed away while undergoing radiation therapy as the tumor crushed his heart and lungs. He died with my wife (his mother) and I at his side. So of interest, loss of consciousness happened several times during that last 8 hours. But Mr. Engineer, woke up, excited that he was introduced to people he didn’t know, but that we shouldn’t worry. He was going to be a fire fighter, trained to save people from fires. That was the last thing he said to his mother, fully upright in bed and holding her shoulders. He was EXCITED. His only other words were to our parish priest who heard his confession and prepared him for passing. Once Father left, he fell asleep and passed a couple hours after. Yes, I’m a traditional (Tridentin) Roman Catholic. But I’m also a scientist in thought. I can’t help but rethink what stimulus brought his excitement AND STRENGTH out at the end. He passed in September 2022, 3 days before his Mom’s and my 25th anniversary. I’m not ashamed that I’ve been crying writing this. But there you go.
Sir--crying is nothing to be ashamed of--by gender or by age. As my doctor said--it's a natural stress-relieving response. Certainly better to do that than punch walls--I almost broke a knuckle! But also--thank you for sharing/I hope it helped some.
@@jude3426 2 for me i think? maybe 3 but for sure once, clearly remember doctor/nurse/brother/roommates faces. humbling experience to wake up just fine and be told you got resuscitated a couple times, after asking where your stuff went.. yeah.. no memories though from the duration. i remember moments before roommate/emt door breaking in, and when i jumped out of the hospital bed to do pushups before getting released!
Well, in 1975 when I was a 10 year old child, I had a near death experience or Nde. There’s no way that, that was a illusion or chemical “BANG!” of any sort! I floated over myself and was met whilst “up there” by a old lady who telepathically told me “you have to go back, it’s not your time yet” I was absolutely FURIOUS! Why? Because whilst being over my lifeless body I felt like I had instead of being surrounded in Oxygen, I was surrounded in pure LOVE. Not a word of a lie. I even remembered thinking that I was going “home” and I was really looking forward to it. (I had been very bullied as a child, plus my family life wasn’t much to write home about either!) I could hear peoples thoughts…everything but telepathically! My vision was perfect too (I normally wore National Health glasses from the UK…I told you I was bullied didn’t I!) but the point I’m trying to make is this…there’s no way that my brain was doing this to me! If I was or had been so uninhibited, there’s absolutely no way I’d have ended up in some Hospital room looking down on myself! Instead I would have gone to Disney Land (I’d seen it on the tv) or gone to my best friends house! Also, I told my best friend what had happened when I got home, and mentioned it to my grandfather. He was the type of person who was a complete Conservative, a mechanical engineer, not in the slightest bit spiritual and lastly he was a big “0” when it came to anything “fantastical” or emotional! He was the sort of man you didn’t confide in is what I’m trying to say! I took the plunge and told him about it all. He asked me what the old lady looked like? When I explained her appearance to him (and remember how I described him!) he looked like a man who was in utter, utter cold shock. I had never met or even heard him discuss or describe his mother, he just wasn’t that sort of person. In those days (when she was alive) women wore floor length skirts, blouses that were like Polo necks and had long hair done up in a bun. Anyway, (sorry this is so long!) I described her to him, even to her Purple and black lined blouse that tapered inwards to the waist. She also had a broach clipped to her neck. Then…and this is the part that amazes me…I completely forgot about the entire incident for the next 35 years! I remembered it only when I was reading a book by Eckhart Tolle and I was researching the subject of Spirituality and Spiritualism. So, I understand that a lot of the biological processes are true, but I definitely WON’T and NEVER will believe that, that is THE only truth about the way we die. I just won’t! 😊😂🎉❤
@@hbennett5640 Thanks! It’s all totally true too. I feel I have to keep repeating that because there are so many people who think it’s impossible to be real, that it’s just something people lie about! I used to think when we died it was just going to be a black nothingness, but that’s definitely not the case! 🤗
Thanks for sharing, it was a great read. One thing that fascinates me about some near-death experiences is when they have either a choice to stay or return to life, or they're told that it's not time yet. There is profoundly beautiful about that to me for some reason. One can only imagine what lies beyond. Perhaps it's incomprehensible. But I hope it's something good.
I haven't been afraid of death...ever...though i admit that i was always kind of worried about the actual process. I read once that when you are experiencing death sometimes you'll see your life flash before your eyes. someone said "in situations of stress, your brain will try and find a similar thing you may have experienced in the past to help put you at ease, but when you're dying and since you've never died before, your brain flips through your memories like a rolodex looking for a something that you can relate to". The human brain is fascinating. Said my brain.
My dad died last year. He was in his 80s and congestive heart failure finally caught up with him. Fortunately I was able to get to the hospital for his last days. Once the doctors said there was nothing more to do my dad didn't want to just extend things by staying on the drugs just barely keeping his heart going so we were all present as he died. It was weird and sad and I wasn't prepared for the death rattle. Fortunately my aunt knew about it and said it was normal, but I would have probably been less stressed if I knew it was a sign of relaxation not distress. I'm getting pretty emotional thinking about it, but this video really helped me process what I experienced and what I feared my dad was experiencing. Hopefully he was experiencing the positive things outlined here. I really do feel better after watching this. Thanks for sharing it.
This comment section feels so real. Thank you for the content. My grandfather died some months ago, I now can look back at what he went through. I was with him almost everyday till the end and he always talked about dreaming about the past and "going home". I hope he is.
Who knew the random recommended ASAP science I clicked on this afternoon would bring me much needed comfort. The best dog I ever had passed away november of 2020 in my arms from cancer that went undetected until her last day. It was so unexpected that euthanasia wasn't an option, there was no time. Her last breaths haunted me, it was very disturbing to watch her gasp for air and I always look back wishing i couldve done something different. To know that there was a possibility she wasn't suffering gasping for air brings me so much comfort. Thanks, guys!
I almost drowned twice. If I can recall correctly, while you're gasping for Oxygen, panicking and thrashing about in the water, it's thrilling and scary. But the moment the thought of "death" comes to mind, the o2 deprived brain turns tranquil, and peaceful
@@adityasharma2870 I almost drowned when I was seven years old, the same thing happened to me. I had the realization that my life was over, and then I felt calm about it.
@@adityasharma2870I almost drowned as a child and remember holding onto the side of the pool and then sitting on the deck while my mother yelled at me. Nothing in between.
My mum and I were attacked last year and, while I only suffered a punch to the jaw and a concussion from falling I to the floor, the attackers smashed her head in with a crutch. I kid you not, she went through every single stage you mentioned in this vid and, after the paramedics at the scene noticed she stopped breathing and were telling her to stay with them, I just shouted "WAKE UP!". That is the only reason my mum is still alive after that experience.
I wouldn't exactly say "healed" since after she came back, we had to go to the hospital to staple her head shut and she can no longer read unless she has a pair of reading glasses but, yeah, my faith certainly brought her back. Speaking of faith, she actually saw a vision of Jesus while they were scanning her (can't remember if it was an MRI scan but it was certainly some type of scan to determine the severity of her injuries) and Jesus actually told her, when her and I do move on from this world, she is to be buried with me instead of cremated. Though I would like to point out in her vision that Jesus looked like he was suffering, with blood coming from his head and his hands and I think she said there was fire beneath his feet as well. Kinda depressing to know after all this time, he is still suffering for our sins but at least he was nice enough to tell mum to guide me because I legitimately don't know what I would do without her.
How interesting. Dying or even being dead in the Bible is depicted as sleeping. Jesus essentially said "Wake up" too when he healed the dying or brought back the dead.
@@TheLeondude Not trying to diminish your experience, but shouting wake up is not akin to saving someone lol. The ONLY reason your mom is alive is because trained medical professionals saved her life...
This video was posted 5 days before my dad passed and now im watching it 5 days after. I wish I had seen this video sooner but luckily TH-cam has some genuinely great videos on this subject. I’m happy to say most of this video is familiar to what I had already researched but I’m still glad I watched it. Thanks guys, been watching your channel for many years ❤️
My sweet wife passed away in January following a long decline due to kidney failure. I was with her to the end and was holding her hand when she took her last breath. She was completely unconscious on her last day. She didn't have the "death rattle" but that day her breaths were more like short gasps. When she died, there was a long pause after one of those gasps, then one more gasp and that was it. I had to wait about 90 minutes for the hospice nurse to come verify the death officially. She was lying on her back with her hands on her chest when she died, and within a very short time I could see her hands and face becoming very pale as the blood settle down into the lower part of the body. After about 30 minutes or so she was becoming noticeably colder.
I had a near death experience. I was assaulted and suffered a blow to my head. However, the moment of the blow I felt 0 pain. i went unconscious. everything went black. i felt myself sinking into a relax state and slowly switching off. i remember telling myself. ' death,feels lonely, I know I will switch off soon into nothingness... Then soon after I seen a BRIGHT LIGHT ! my religious programming made me think ? GOD is this you ?. it was the bright lights from the operating table and the skilled doctors & nurses saving my life ! My brain had swollen out,and I had lost my hearing and unable to walk for 2 years. But @ least I didn't die ! I got another chance to fulfill some more dreams & goals !
Omg you should do a TH-cam video on your recovery process. I’m serious this can help and instill hope for people going through similar long term recovery like you had to go through
@@paulseblano2761 yes. The first year it was difficult. Second year I relearnt how to cycle bike. I can now walk & cycle. The permanent disability issues i have are a constant head tremors, PTSD and permanent deafness in one ear 👂with constant tinnitus. 😑 I manage. It could have been worse.
First of all, YOU ARE WAY TOO YOUNG TO THINK ABOUT DYING! Great video & spot on. I am 71, my parents, 4yr older sister, & my fraternal twin bros are all deceased. EVERYDAY, I wonder when its MY time. So many famous ppl are dying around my age. There are times I hit lows as u state. Dreams, experiences, etc. I just try to do the best I can, with what I have and let the chips fall where they may. I have lived my life. 👍✊️🖖❤️ PS. A person dying/or in a coma, can hear what u say. This is your chance to tell them how much u love them.😊😊
@@MicrogramHeathen Hard to verify, yeah. But it's still worth a shot, right? It can't possibly hurt if you tell someone on their deathbed how much you love them and that you look forward to seeing them again when it's your time. And it might give you some closure if you say all the things you regret not saying earlier. (Should probably try not to say anything that'll make it more stressful in the even that they CAN hear you, though.)
That's what the nurses say when you're visiting them in the hospital. Idk if it's just to comfort the family/friends, but you would think it would be unethical to lie about something like that @@MicrogramHeathen
I love seeing content like this that seeks to demystify death, I feel like there's been a trend lately of seeing more of it around and I'm so here for it! I'm a long-time fan of Caitlin Doughty and her Ask a Mortician series, and I recently came across Hospice Nurse Julie who spoke about a lot of the same things in this video from the perspective of what it's like to sit vigil for a dying person. I think knowing what it's like, knowing what happens to your body during and afterward, knowing what your wishes would be for your remains... it all helps with finding peace around death.
Thank you so much for making this video. I watched my Dad pass away January 12th, 2024 I won't go into what I witnessed, but it was very traumatizing for me. This video really helped me understand what he went through, and helped with the continued grieving process I am going through. You all are awesome, keep the great content coming.
I died a bit when i got shot. It was okay. Im alive now and certainly do not fear death, but am usually happy i get to continue to experience life, even though others have a habit of making it less than desirable at times.
I experienced dying when I was 16 due to severe head tramua and brain hemorrhage, I became very weak to the point I couldn't move and it was hard to even breathe.
7 months ago, i was in a motorcycle accident. I was flying and i nearly died due to impact of my head on the road. Before almost dying, memories of my entire life flashed into me while i was heavily breathing and time is slowing down hence i controlled how i fell
Same, same bro. Broke both femurs and died on the helicopter. Besides feeling like a concertina I remember being at peace and giving myself permission to go, "It's ok mate, you can go..." Then waking up in traction before surgery. Hat off, dude. We're still here😉
I was a pitcher in baseball and when I was a teenager I had a ball hit directly towards my face. Everything slowed down and felt like everything was in slow motion like in a movie. I ended up catching the ball otherwise I would have been dead. Someone had filmed it and watching it in real time it was so fast. The ball had to have been 100+ miles off the bat
@@cameronwheeler3219 that's amazing.. can you share that video? I am really interested, something like that happened to me but I missed the little ball which hit my eye :( :D
thank you so much for this video, i was afraid to watch it at first but it helped me process a lot about watching my mother die from a sudden cancer diagnose.
My neighbour died last year in June and I saw him the last few days before he went. I live in a shared accommadation so we had a shared kitchen and he told me he had a bowel issue, pneumonia (at Christmas) and another problem (the swelling in his legs). He asked me to put something in the outside bin for him because he was struggling to walk, and I did so for him, offering to help with anything he needed. Our rooms were opposite each other, so I heard him being sick and coughing a lot in the last few months before he died. I remember telling him I was concerned with his swollen legs and wanted him to see a doctor (they weren't concerned at all, unless he lost all feeling in them) and the last words he said to me were "I'll be dead soon, there'll be a room free". That was 2 days before he went.
I work in a care home & have seen more death working there in three months than in my entire life. It’s great to know that the people who passed were at peace. Thank you so much ❤
I am VERY afraid of the dying experience to the point I am having panic attacks. This video really helped me calm down about it a little bit. Thank you ❤
Me too. I didn't have a real fear of dying until I got some health problems. It wasn't anything life threatening, but something has changed, and know I'm afraid of heart attacks, severe allergies, asthma, and anything that may kill me in minutes. I hate feeling this way.
I had at least two panic attacks per month last year and this year still continues. So I take medication, but because of them I developed health anxiety ... it is awful, you are not alone.
It's ok. We are all going to experience it someday. Everyone alive today will pass through life within 150 years (barring technological advancements), so know that you're not alone in this experience.
This is the miracle of death, in how it comes to us and takes us whether we feel like we can handle it or not. Just as life has a way of working itself out, I think death does too.
I'm 25 and I'm extremely scared of dying. I think about it all the time, mostly at night before I go to bed and it's really hard to stop thinking about it. My brain just can't comprehend that I won't exist after sometime and I just start spiraling into a hole of those kind of thoughts. When I wake up the next day I hope these thoughts are gone but they reaper more often than before and I start making conclusions like "why do I bother do anything at all", "nothing matters, i don't matter", "life is too short why do I have to work half my life and not do what I want (wait... I can't because someone has to pay the bills)", "I have dreams but I'll never be able to achieve them" and so on. I also have depression and this really worsens it. I've tried talking to relatives but most of them don't really believe I have depression in the first place (even though it's diagnosed from a doctor) and when I tell them about my thoughts their answer is "stop thinking about this you're too young". Yes, I am young... for now. I guess I'm sharing this because I search for an answer different from what my relatives are saying or for some hope or something? I don't know, just something to make me feel better. I've never been so honest and I've never shared something so personal to me on the Internet. I hope you guys won't laugh at me. Sending love to everyone. ❤
This is EXACTLY what I've been going through for the past 6 months. I'm only 24, and I wonder how I'll cope as I grow older. It came on after I had a series of panic attacks that lasted almost 3 weeks, with the final panic attack being so bad I thought I was dying right then. I've been a mess, but I've been working through it. Personally, I don't entirely believe that we cease to exist, although my brain is inclined to believe that I'll no longer exist because it sounds like the most logical idea. Something about it doesn't sit right with me.
Search ayahuasca and learn about it. Also look for Ian Stevenson and his work. I’m not sharing this and asking you to believe what I say. I believe there is something beyond us and ofc does not include religion.
Believe in god. It will help. It helped me. I had the exact same thoughts as you. Here's some things to help you believing some sort of higher power (aka god) is real. (I'm agnostic and semi theist).: Ppl tell u abt the big bang. It came from a singularity. Well, there the hell did the singularity come from? Someone must've created it. Guess what? That's god. Trust me, it helps knowing theres life after death. Hope this helps.
honestly I struggle as well. Believing in something will help. If you believe there is nothing after, you are a lost soul ... it will drive you nuts. How do I know? I've been there and back. I didn't believe in anything and my life was empty. There has to be more, if people just stop and think how weird life is, they will see we couldn't have just "popped" form a freaking explosion. Science tries to explain things, but science is not all knowing, not at all. Science is wrong all the time. We as society just "normalized" our lives and pretend that it is normal to be living in an endless void, flying around on a rock into never ending nothingness. People are too busy with their jobs and what not, so they dont have time to just lay down, relax and think abou it, they refuse to do it. Why? Because if you do, the first thing that will happen is panic, existencial crisis. It is not an easy process. Big Bang and Evolution are wrong theories, believed by the blind sheep who refuse to research and think for themselves. Yes, there is evolution, but not to the point where a fully new species can be created ... The world is maddness rn
When I was 19 I died of a cardiac arrest. Yes I had an NDE but I definitely left my body. I felt peace until I came back as EMTs were workimg on me. Buy I dont know any more about the afterlife than that. It was peace, bliss and as though I never knew I was ever in a body. I had no thoughts of what happened. I told nobody my experience for years.
i've had a theory that an afterlife is essentially a dreamlike state, and the "flash before your eyes" moment is your brain scanning a large part of your core memories to simulate the most relaxing place for your consciousness to rest after death (or whatever the afterlife you imagine is there after death), maybe as an evolutionary trait to reduce suffering. it feels like a lot of this confirms that theory. i think dreams and death are closely linked, and i hope we're able to learn more about dreams as science progresses
I just read a book that kindaaaaaaa explored this idea with a story where Sleep and Death are brothers, and I wish the author would’ve gone more in depth with it! The pacing was a bit clumsy but if anyone is interested the book was Nocturne by Alyssa Wees.
That's interesting, I have another theory related to that, about humans' belief in the concept of soul. When someone passed away, we still feel their presence strongly because they have such a huge impact on our lives, so the feelings of someone being here/alive is different from the real state of someone actually being here/alive So my theory is that humans believe soul exist because we can't grasp the concept of death so we mistake the feelings of someone's presence for their actual presence that is death
I’m skeptical on the evolutionary trait to reduce suffering theory because I’m unsure how there would be any selection pressure for specific experiences before death. I have my own theory that the feelings we feel when we’re about to die is a result of the body trying to ease itself of pain. Your body naturally releases opiates as kind of a painkiller (I think) so it’s possible that when everything is shutting down, it causes such a ruckus that the body over corrects and releases so much that you end up actually feeling pretty good. What this video was saying reminded me a lot of what people experience when they take strong drugs like h3r01n, where you become very calm, relaxed, and kinda enter these dreamlike states. Now I’ve never experienced dying nor have I ever taken opiates so take this with a grain of salt.
Wow, this is strange. I have had a few near-death experiences before, unknowingly having vasculitis in my heart for a while. I definitely felt a lot of this as I would pass out for 8+ minutes at a time. Very scary, good video!
after reading those comment section i am extremly sorry for what u guys have to gone though or watched ur loved one in those situation . I hope those souls could rest in peace. And people who survived im happy for u also man enjoy ur life u r lucky and spend time. You never know when ur time came in
I actually really appreciate this video! I have always had such a fear of dying and have thought about it often throughout my life. I’m still scared of dying because I love living life, but this video did give me some comfort😊💗
I’ve died 3 times. Extreme confusion, uncertainty & significant curiosity. No fear @ all because you don’t understand what’s going on & it happens amazingly fast.
Bit out of nowhere, but I would like to thank the two of you for being one of my biggest inspirations. I stumbled upon this video, and I recognized this channel and voice immediately. I have watched your videoes since I was 12 (almost 21) now, and I haven’t seen your channel pop up on my recommended in a long time. And to say I wouldn’t be studying 1st semester in medicine without this channel would be a lie. So truly, from the bottom of my heart: thank you
I don’t no what’s more worrying, me choosing to watch this video before bed or that TH-cam has suggested this to me at this time of night! If I don’t wake I’m going to haunt your algorithm 😊
My experience was this: - it wasn't frightening, it was quite calm - it felt very inevitable (that feeling was incorrect!) - it was still scary, but in a weird calm way (?) - I was profoundly profoundly alone in the experience
Something that somewhat calmed me down when I was having an existential crisis about death, was thinking that everyone, my friends, all the people I know, the people I put on a pedestal, we all go through the same thing In union, a feeling of togetherness and closeness, like they're gonna go through it too But I don't know if thinking that was more effective when you yourself came to the thought instead of being told it, or if an existential crisis is something that you just have to wait out after all
This helps me better understand what my father was experiencing his las few days in hospice due to cancer. He was asleep the last two final days until he passed. Thanl you, I feel better knowing he wasn't in pain, and I can only hope he was dreaming of all the good times we all had together as a family. I miss you a lot dad. RIP
Just wanna say that this channel is absolutely awesome. The information is brilliantly delivered, and the simple yet engaging animation is very enjoyable to watch!
My last grandpa is dying... He is at the stage of eating and drinking small spoonfuls. He has been sad for many years of I'm being honest. He is 94. It's odd seeing him like this.
@@TheNeilDarby Yeah if God wills it, you seriously believe in a void of nothingness "quantum uncertainty" created energy out of nothing to start the "big bang" which is also a theory? no proof just a guess for unreligious people
It's strange how the brain tries so hard not to die, but when it realizes it is happening it tries to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
Exactly! We’re all secretly super smart❤
well put.
How is it strange that the brain tries hard not to die?
@@MangyPL I think the point was how the brain flips the switch to quickly
Why is that Strange?? It makes perfect sense.
My sister nearly died from anaphylaxis when she was 12. She said she felt very peaceful, there was no pain, and she didn't feel any grief about dying so young, just happy that she'd had a good life.
I'm so glad she didn't die, she's one of my favourite people ever ❤
Glad for her and you :)

40 years ago, 11.4.1984. I was electrecuted by 25 000 volts. Some days later, I died but I was resuscitated. It's uncanny that I should come across this video today, exactly 40 years later. The physical healing took about 8 years to complete. The psychological healing is still ongoing. There wasn't any trauma therapy available back in the 80's. I've pretty much figured things out through trial and error. I am grateful to be alive and I slow down to appreciate every day that I'm still given. But my actual point is that dying really is peaceful. It was for me anyway. The things I saw, I've seen again once or twice in dreams. It has always been profoundly comforting experience and given my life meaning and direction. Death is not something to be afraid of, unlived life is.
Woah! That is intense! May I ask if you believe in God?
@77pax
❤ Glad you are still here
Well said 👌
cool starry bra
That’s mind blowing. I can never explain the type of dreams that I have , its like a weird comforting feeling around everything you see , when you wake up it makes you wanna go back.
About 10 years ago, I was very unwell. It turned out that I had pneumonia.
Before I was diagnosed and treated, I collapsed one day. I was fighting to get enough oxygen, and in quite a panic. My mobile phone was in my pocket, but I was in such a mess that I couldn't speak, so calling for an ambulance would have been futile. It then occurred to me, that the front door was locked, so I needed to get up off the kitchen floor to open it if I was going to call an ambulance. I couldn't get up; I was struggling to sustain myself lying down. I jokingly said to myself that I may as well call for a funeral director!
After that, I stopped struggling. I relaxed completely, and there was no more pain. I felt warm and totally at peace. Nothing mattered anymore: I was at one with everything good in this universe. It was like pleasure, greater than anything I'd ever known. An epiphany!
I'm not sure how long I was on the floor for. I didn't check the time as I went down! But I think I was probably there for around an hour. I learnt an important lesson that day. The brain will only allow you to suffer for as much as you can take; it will then remove you from your situation, to a place where you can relax: if you recuperate, you'll come back; if you don't, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. A handful of people may be sad for a while, then go about their lives: most people have no idea who you are; and to the greater universe, you are nothing less, nothing more than you've always been.
woah. take care man
i bet you were on fire in all your English tests
Not really bc I lost my grandma 3 mnths ago and I still cry and miss her all the time. A piece of my heart went with her and I feel like Ill never be complete until were together again😞
I hope I feel that peace when I die.
There have been moments where I've been completely blissful. Had I died those moments, I wouldn't have cared. With happiness, I'm attached to it, but with bliss & peace, I'm simply experiencing. I wonder if it's the same kind of peace you talk about where nothing matters, but nothing needs to matter.
@@bbygrlpt2 Grief always takes a longer path when it's grandparents. You'll always be with her. She'll always be with you.
I love the later part of your last part of your last sentence ❤ In a religious sense, though, to the Universe (God), you always matter.
I watched my FIL die, and he was a warm corpse for about a day before he stopped breathing. Nobody talks about how long it can actually take to die. It’s not at all like TV where they say their goodbyes to family and then lights out. Those goodbyes need to happen weeks in advance because you’re simply not functional in the week leading up to death.
It depends a lot from person to person. I had a really good conversation with my mother the day before she died; where as the weeks before she was hardly conscious, this day she was very lucid and clear.
@LindaJuffermans It's interesting how often this happens. My aunt, my father, and others in a nursing home have all had a lucid episode before passing. It was a, have something you forgot or haven't said yet, now the time.
I remember the day before my grandfather died I went to visit him and he sat in his chair, trying to do something on his phone. I helped him with that and i could tell he really enjoyed that moment. After that we had a long conversation, he talked quite slow at this point though. It still amazes me how much awareness he still had just a few hours before he passed.
My mum is a palliative personal carer which means she's been with many people right to the very end
The dying process is draw out for some people, but for others it can be in a flash
She told me a story of an old lady who was dying. The driver was inserted which means she only had a couple of days to live maximum, but her son was travelling from Australia to the UK to say his goodbyes
She held out until he arrived, but died pretty much 30 mins after she saw his face
@@po72644 My grandma held on for nearly a week after she was told that her sibling, daughter (my mom) and I were coming for a visit later in the week after learning she wasn't doing well at all. She died less than an hour after we arrived, after we'd shared how we're doing and just chatted with her and each other.
Weird how sheer will can keep people hanging on for just a little longer even after their bodies are ready to let go.

That's something not to think about
As a medical professional, it surprised me that you didn't mention "the Surge" and/or "terminal lucidity", two uncommon but very striking phenomena where a terminally ill patient suddenly gets much better a few hours to days before dying. That includes energy levels, apetite, cognition, general mood, etc. It's rare an not well known, so sometimes some family members believe their loved one is getting better... while its exactly the opposite.
Yeah it’s actually quite common. I hear that all the time.
Yeah, that happened with my grandma when she had cancer. She was bed ridden and slept 23 hours a day for a few weeks, and then suddenly woke up, full of energy, requested a decent meal, chatted with the nurses, doctors, and family who were there, and then 2 days later she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Do you have any theories? Maybe a sort of surrender to the process?
@@andrewhooper7603I think it is the body's last hurrah. Our bodies will fight tooth and nail to survive. Even though we're dying, the brain hasn't accepted this, thus releasing chemicals in a last ditch effort for a rally.
Maybe he didn't mention it because it's rare
My dad died here at home of cancer last year. Thank you for this video. I miss himm
My dad died at home of cancer also in August and I miss him very much as well!😢😢
im afraid i may die at 15 because of cancer. i feel 2lumps on my neck helpp
My 52-years-old cousin died 2 days ago. He simply went to sleep and asked his wife to wake him up in a couple of hours. When she went to wake him up and he didn't respond she called an ambulance and he was reported dead upon reaching the hospital. I went to see him and he looked like he would just wake up if you call him. Watching this video I'm relieved to know he was relaxed and I hope he had these good dreams you mentioned. R.I.P cousin I'll never forget you.
RIP
So sorry for your loss x
Crazy thing is I lost my friend back in 2020, heard the news from my other classmate 3 days after he passed. 2 weeks later I had a dream with him in a very very bright place, biblically accurate too heaven. I couldn't see my body, I was looking for my hands, my legs, my torso but seen nothing. Then he appeared out of the brightness and hugged me. Told me he'd see me whenever I arrive there, when, I don't know but just enjoy life while you have it. Love you bro, then walked back off into the light and disappeared
It is a good, informative video. By the way, I am sorry for your loss
@@mtmcommunity That's crazy. In my culture, it's said that it's dangerous to have physical contact with dead people that appear in your dreams, as they might try to pull you into their realm, leading you to death. I always had that in mind, especially once when I dreamed about my deceased grandfather, who appeared on the other side of a bridge, trying to hug me. I still remember that instead of walking over to him, I just turned around and woke up shorty after it. That was like 15 years ago, and I still remember it with a warm feeling.
I put off watching this, because i have severe death anxiety, but this was very comforting. Thank you
I’m literally 21 seconds into this video and the thought of my brain turning off sent me into a flight or fight mode and I got really scared and I had to stop watching 😭 death anxiety has to be one of the most scariest things in the world there’s no comfort you know it’ll happen but you don’t want it to atleast not at this time which is why it’s so nerve wracking ugh!
@@scoobsydoo my exact issues. It's not like other fears, where it'll never happen. It must happen to complete our life cycle. It sounds like there might be more to life after this though, which to me is all I want
@@scoobsydoo Damn so I was not the only one. I literally felt like blood sugar dropping, feeling like I might pass out if this got worse. But the video was still very interesting
"death anxiety" Sounds like you're super egotistical. Like you're so great and important that you think you should just live forever. Just keep eating animals and all that. And occam's razor suggests that there is nothing after this. Why is it so hard for people to believe or accept that our consciousness ends with our bodies? If I lose my seeing organ, I can no longer see. If I lose my hearing organ, I can no longer hear. So what should happen if I lose my thinking organ? I ascend to a higher realm? Give me a break lmao.
Welp, hope you guys live long. 😐
When I was a kid I nearly drowned in a river, to the point that I lost consciousness. I have a stark memory of the panic leading up to the moment I couldn't hold my breath any longer and breathed in the first gulp of water.
THAT part was horrible, but afterward I very distinctly remember my experience being a lot like what the video describes. I became totally at peace with the fact that I was disappearing, and I spent a few bleary moments looking up at the sunlight rippling above me and thinking that my life had been good enough.
People seem to be taking comfort from this video, and I thought sharing this might help reinforce things. 🙂 I'm still scared to die all these years later (I'm 34 now), but it's comforting to me as well that my experience then wasn't a fluke.
I think this entirely depends on the environment you are in when you are dying. When I was 9 my Mom and I were hit by a drunk driver and the only thing I can remember is the gurgling sounds my Mom was making before she died and as I was bleeding the only thing I could think of were those sounds and immense sadness as I tried to cry when I closed my eyes
I had a similar experience! I was 10 and choking. I was very panicked, realised I was going to die, then felt the most peaceful feeling, and in my head I went “oh well” because nothing had to matter anymore, there were no worries or burdens.
Sp no going into the matrix and breaking the code when you die I guess

According to tons of NDEs and even some doctors, it’s most likely a place full of peace. And yeah I agree, nobody knows what was before our birth and after death, but both sure feel like a place of belonging and home

I nearly died from cardiogenic shock. I was already in the er when I lost consciousness and I felt as if I was drifting into an unusually peaceful and comfortable sleep everything was amazing. The next thing I knew I woke up with a breathing tube down my throat an impella circulating my blood a team of 5-7 doctors working on saving my life. A cardiologist was yelling at me telling me to “fight your dying Jason fight for your life you’re dying” Jason your dying right now you have to fight to live”. The contrast between my perceived comfort while unconscious and reality of my situation once I regained consciousness was like nite and day.
I have sense made a full recovery.

Reminds me of a gravestone I read once, "Overall, life was just one big disappointment."
You have surprisingly good internet connection down there.
My fourteen year old dog died in my arms on the 25th of March, 2024. He was the light of my life and had helped me overcome suicidal ideation in my teens. I lay with him on my bed for his last few hours because the plan was to take him to the vet the following day so he could be put to sleep, but he never made it that long, and just stopped breathing while we lay there.
The death rattle scared me, because for weeks now I've been thinking that was him struggling to breathe, and that he suffocated and died in pain and fear. It's comforting to know that he wasn't in any distress and was actually very relaxed. You've given me some peace of mind, and I really can't thank you enough.
Sorry for your loss 😢
I have lost few cats and few dogs. I know how it feels like.
What a lovely peaceful passing, lying, so loved, in the arms of his best friend. Bless his darling heart - I know he is so grateful for the life you gave him, and is waiting eagerly for you. He’ll be the first to greet you when you cross! ❤️
@@karianickshame on you. No compassion. It must suck to be you.
@@karianick That's really insensitive. Pets are part of the family, if you ever had a pet you would know that. It's a very normal reaction to be sad and upset when your dog dies--I know I was. Doesn't matter that it wasn't human, the comfort and emotional support they give you is just as valid as human companionship.
“Knowing they were dying, but felt like they were going home”
Wow..
You do go home. God says it. That we will return to dirt when we pass away. So, we do go back home.
In way I suppose that's what's happening ( not getting into the religious side of if) they are returning back to where they came from before the time of thier birth.
If that’s not Jesus welcoming you to heaven I don’t know what is.
Yeah it was dark but it was colorful at first then I felt like I was going somewhere good and I couldn't leave my daughter here alone
God says, that we turn back to dirt (return home).
I died from a Heart Attack...it was my third one. As soon as my heart stopped, there is no pain. It was the most perfect feeling! When the Doctors finally got my heart going again (After a couple of minutes - I was told later) all the pain came back. I've since had two more; I guess it's not my time yet.
You're here for a reason brotha!
You are really lucky, you lived even after events that couldve caused death
Good luck man.

Your feeling was alive even when your heart stopped working?
I’ve owned more than 15 dogs, and 2 days before one of them dying, they stopped eating. And the worst part is they tend to go to a place out of site, and that’s it 😞
My dog kind of did that. She stopped eating and one night she wanted to go outside and just kinda wandered around for a while in a very dazed state. She didn't die that night but I had her put down a couple days later since she had lost so much weight and had a seizure in my arms. I couldn't bear to watch her suffer anymore. 😭
@@suicune2001I’m so sorry 😔.
I had to put down my 15 year old English Bulldog because she just couldn’t get up to do her needs. The days before I put her down, I took her out in a stroller, and gave her nice streaks every meal.
It’s so painful, I have all my dogs ashes here with a photo and their fur just in case someday we will be able to clone them.
@@HARDC8RE_MAMMOTH Yeah, it's really rough but they provide so much joy and we give them the best life we can. ❤ I don't think I'd clone my dog even if I could. I'd rather rescue one in a shelter who needs me. They deserve a good life, too.

As someone who has OD'd and shit, I will say dying is weird, I've never seen a tunnel or light but for some reason, I can picture my dead body from a third-person perspective above my body. Almost like I left my body and then looked down at it.
Very fascinating. I think it's called an out-of-body experience. I've experienced it via meditation (albeit, to a lesser degree).
CPuld you please elaborate a lot on that, really interested; did other people after you woke up, confirmed in a way that what you saw was real?
"The sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent" bro am *_I_* dying?

I recently watched my father die. He was in a twilight for about a month before he passed. He was just transferred to a hospice center from the hospital and they gave a call to my family saying his vitals aren’t looking good, if you want to be with him when he goes, come now. I’ve never drove so fast, probably would have went to jail if caught. Sat with him and my mom for 6 hours until my sister arrived after her drive from her college. He waited until surrounded by his family. His eyes were closed most of the time I was there but he looked me straight in the eyes as he took his final breath. Seeing this vid gives me a lot of comfort.
What an honour mate! Beautiful to hear
Sorry to hear that, went through something similar with my Dad earlier this year. Hope your well
Sorry to hear that, was very similar when my grandma passed. I feel it's one of the things you never really get over, at least I haven't.
I'm glad this video gave you comfort. I'm sorry about your father, but I hope that your final moments together, especially with the info from this vid in mind, give you solace and resolution. Best Wishes!
My mom did the same thing to me back in 2011; eyes closed until the last moment when she looked right at me with a serene look on her face, then drifted away. I felt a lot more at ease about dying after that.
And yeah, I drove like a maniac to get there, too. Glad we’re not bunk mates in the slammer. 😂
This made me feel really comforted, actually. Thank you
comforted how? it sounds absolutely terrifying
Thank you. Thank you so much. I watched my dad pass away three years ago and it was heart wrenching to see what he went through with the struggles to breathe. I didn't know if he was afraid or even aware of what was happening as he was in and out of consciousness and to see this what you say was like you released so much stress and depression I have felt all this time for him. It is now like you have made everything right for me and I no longer have to feel my dad went as bad as I thought. I feel you have fixed in my heart what had been broken all this time.

Its scary thinking that one day we just wont exist anymore
I don't know why I have no desire to live forever. I'm fine with going back into the earth and eventually being forgotten about. In the grand scheme of things, I'm really not that important and my death is inevitable. Sorry of that sounds depressing, but it's the truth of life.
Perhaps it gives us more incentive to be kind and live while we're alive.
Scary for some, comforting for others
I mean, technically we don't *know* whether we'll completely cease to exist or go on to something else. Until we go through it ourselves, oblivion is just as speculative as any afterlife
@@stokerbramwell yeah that's true. I think I just return to the earth and bugs and bacteria eat me. Plants grow. Animals eat that. So kinda like reincarnation without the religious attachments. My energy isn't destroyed but recycled.
@@applegal3058well said, I agree
I'm 39 years old. In 2007, when I was 22, I was given a less than 1% chance to live due to the Stevens-Johnson Reaction I had from the IV and oral antibiotics I was on.
When I arrived at the hospital that morning, I was about to be in respiratory arrest (and they were able to vent me before this happened thankfully). My heart rate was 234 (my heart thankfully never stopped nor had to be shocked back into rhythm). And my blood pressure was 70/30, but I was conscious and talking to the nurses and doctors working on me. I remember the ambulance ride, vaguely as I was extremely cold and could not stay awake. I remember the scream of the engine and the EMT saying "Stay awake. I need you to open your eyes." Y'all, that is seriously the most difficult thing in the world to do, but when I arrived at the hospital, I remember being wide awake and feeling absolutely no pain whatsoever. This is important because not only do I have Fibromyalgia and was diagnosed at 12 with it, but I was on antibiotics because of the MRSA staph infection I had from the 4 back surgeries that the surgeon refused to treat properly, and at that point, I had an open wound the size of a softball in my back to my spine to be packed twice a day, but I felt no pain at that moment. Matter of fact, I felt absolutely amazing and could not understand why everyone was worried and in a rush. I was joking and laughing with everyone.
I remember the doctor asking my permission to put me on a vent, and I was like "Sure. Yeah. That's fine." And I remember him saying "I'm gonna put you to sleep now.", and the next thing I know, I'm having the most weird dreams, BUT I can still "see" my room, even though at this point, I'm in a 17-day coma. At one point I had a fever of 109 for over a day and a fever of 106 for 4 days.
I didn't see any light UNTIL I suddenly was woken up once while they were trying to switch out my PICC Line. I think this was a few days into my being in the hospital for 22 days, and they were using an MRI machine to do the placement, and they were bringing me out of the coma, and they accidentally completely woke me up, and I remember that was the ONLY time the entire time I was at the hospital that I was scared and thought I was going to die. I wear glasses and am legally blind without them, so all I could see was a bright, white light, and 6 gray figures hovering around me. I remember I couldn't breathe (I was being bagged at that point), and I kept trying to move my arms and legs (reaching for my mouth so I could breathe, and by the way, that is an automatic reflex to do that. It's weird and hard to explain.), and I couldn't move because the figures were holding me down, but saying "It's okay. You're okay. You're going to be okay.", but I was absolutely terrified and I remember the last thing I thought was "This is how I die."
Next thing I know, I'm being woken up for real and having the tube removed from my throat, and being told to breathe in and breathe out.
The entire experience was something that's so incredibly difficult to explain, but I did. When I was actively dying, I felt happy, pain-free, amazing. I couldn't figure out why everyone was so worried. It was the best I have ever felt in my entire life. I'm not afraid of the pain of dying. I'm afraid of missing out on life when I die.
Thank you for sharing this, it was so interesting to read and was super comforting to hear the end of your story 😊
SJS is such a terrifying thing to have! Especially given that the mortality rate for SJS is very high!
I remember feeling no pain at all during a massive heart attack that resulted in an emergency cath, but I was extremely scared and I was sobbing because I didn't want to die. Once they pushed the meds (which includes Valium) in the cath lab, my fear mostly vanished. And the only sensation that I felt was a tug in my heart as they were performing the procedure. The cardiologist would tell me to breathe deeply and I would feel that sensation. Other than that I felt nothing.
very well weritten. Thank you for sharing!
I feel that now my thoughts about death has changed after seeing multiple people saying they felt no pain, and it makes me feel better to know that the people in my life who have passed away felt little pain when they did die
mising out on life, really? The world has gone to shit, you shouldn't miss it at all. We failed as species and society

DUDE I finally found you again after Years... I am subbing to you before I loose your channel again
I think this is likely about people with proper pain meds. My dad had at-home hospice and he started actively dying when I got home over spring break 2 years ago. We couldn't legally have a morphine drip, so he spent his last few days in pure agony, screaming for someone to kill him when he was coherent enough to do so. He barely slept due to the pain. In fact, my mom said that his last words were "I can't breathe." So, keep in mind that what's being explained here isn't what happens for everyone and good pain meds are necessary
Holy shit, I'm so sorry. I hope your dad doesn't have to suffer that pain anymore. It's ridiculous that the healthcare system wouldn't allow your father a peaceful death. I hope you and your family are doing okay with the loss.
@@patchesheadphones3570 As Noname said they weren't legally allowed to administer morphine at home. This is an issue of state laws. There are other pain killers that can be given at home but not everyone is responsive to them.
That’s awful. Depending on the state, at home hospice definitely has a morphine option as long as staff is there to administer it. When they were there for my FIL, they even took us aside and said “you’re not allowed to give this to him, but I’m allowed to show you how to administer it, as well as clearly explain what a lethal dose is, and I have no way of knowing what happens after I leave for the day. Do I need to explain any further?” It never came to that, but they’re not unaware of the situation.
@@modelcitizen1977 We had hospice nurses for my sister-in-law. They weren't allowed to give her "too much" pain killer but they were able to stop feeding her (at her request). She wasn't in any more pain but it did take over a week. Eventually her body shut down without food.
My brother was in a hospital in another state. When the end was very near, the nurses were able to keep increasing his morphine until he succumbed.
Yes, my grandpa's last word as he died was "help!" I'm so glad I wasn't there for that.
Step 2's sleep not being rejuvenating and constant fatigue sounds awfully like what day to day life feels like 😅

I was with my Grandfather when he passed, and we went through all of this as well.
Let me take a moment to say, I saw him as clear as day about a week after he passed. At the same time, I saw a strange look on my mother's face, and I asked if she was ok, she said her father had just said "Everything is going to be ok" into her ear by which I saw him standing.
I've shared this story with lots of other people who have also seen family members after they passed.
I don't know what it means, but it does give me a little comfort.
probably bait I used to do stuff like this when I was drunk@triangleunderstander7801
Speaking from experience: in 2018, I suffered a MAJOR heart attack that actually killed me twice -- they had to resuscitate me from flatline twice in the hospital. I can't really describe the experiences and my memories -- although I do recall waking up entubated after the second flatline experience, trying to raise my hands to my face and feeling them restrained to the sides of my gurney, and thinking "Oh, so, we have come to this." I'm certain that I was on some extremely powerful sedatives at the time; the cardiologists had just drained 1,300ccs of dead blood from the pericardial membrane around my heart so that my heart could beat again.
Here's the thing: I KNEW what condition I was in and that I had very little chance of coming through it alive. The fact that I did is much more a testament to the skill and determination of my cardiologists than it is to anything I contributed to the experience. But, dying, those two times, was far and away the most PEACEFUL experience I have ever known in my life, and that includes some thirty years of fairly regular meditation. Nature is not cruel. The pain of dying is what results from us fighting to live. When we accept our fate, there is no more pain, no more distress, no more fear.
I don't know what comes next; I never saw a tunnel of light nor met long-deceased relatives waiting to guide me to the Great Beyond. But, the fact that dying, itself, is a peaceful experience leads me to believe that whatever comes next, we will enjoy it.
Think you hit the nail on the head mate! 👍
I do hope you're right about enjoying what comes next. Unfortunately there seems to be no empirical evidence to support the idea of an afterlife. For all we know, death is truly the end. I really wish it wasn't though, I like the idea of living on in some other realm and being able to reconnect with loved ones who have passed away.

@@andrewsmith8715 Right, what you described earlier sounded like a blackout to me but I needed more details. So now, that injection sounds more like a poison. What vitamin was that supposed to be? Does your body naturally produce it? Why did you need it? Maybe you had a bad reaction to a synthetic form of it. Or maybe someone made a mistake with the syringe, like using the wrong medication. This is a serious medical Malpractice suit if that's the case. Blacking out just means your soul is still intact in your body.
I watched my mom die. I saw this video at 11:11. I’m a medical provider, very clinical, but have never been able to come to terms with watching her die. I feel she led me to this video to help me understand.
I’m very sorry about your mom. This doesn’t compare to losing your mother. But I was just telling my gf how I bag up pets that we put down and it’s very hard knowing it’s someone’s loved one. There are special clients, owners that we’ve seen over the years and those do hurt. But none of that prepared me for when I had to put my first pet down. Crazy how even when they’re at rest the universe helps us connect to our loved ones. Que descanse en paz.

My story time: my oldest son was enlisted in the US Army National Guard, a new father, and preparing for wedding his fiancé when he was diagnosed after dozens of incorrect “walking pneumonia” suppositions as having a mediastinal (chest cavity) sarcoma. This is a misfired bone cyst defect that for unknown reasons triggers MOST OFTEN in men in their early 20s. It is 1 in 5M or less known cancer, which is 99.99% lethal.
I watched my 23 year old son, a trained diesel generator engine specialist with plans to enter mechanical engineering full time, waste away under chemotherapy, which DID shrink the tumor dramatically, but also watched as it recovered faster than his body. He passed away while undergoing radiation therapy as the tumor crushed his heart and lungs. He died with my wife (his mother) and I at his side.
So of interest, loss of consciousness happened several times during that last 8 hours. But Mr. Engineer, woke up, excited that he was introduced to people he didn’t know, but that we shouldn’t worry. He was going to be a fire fighter, trained to save people from fires. That was the last thing he said to his mother, fully upright in bed and holding her shoulders. He was EXCITED. His only other words were to our parish priest who heard his confession and prepared him for passing. Once Father left, he fell asleep and passed a couple hours after.
Yes, I’m a traditional (Tridentin) Roman Catholic. But I’m also a scientist in thought. I can’t help but rethink what stimulus brought his excitement AND STRENGTH out at the end.
He passed in September 2022, 3 days before his Mom’s and my 25th anniversary. I’m not ashamed that I’ve been crying writing this. But there you go.
Sounds like he was an amazing young man. Thanks for sharing a bit of his memory with us ❤
Sir--crying is nothing to be ashamed of--by gender or by age. As my doctor said--it's a natural stress-relieving response. Certainly better to do that than punch walls--I almost broke a knuckle! But also--thank you for sharing/I hope it helped some.
thank you for being there for your child. it is harder than turning away and letting it happen without you there
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no doubt you will always mourn. God bless you.
Love to you.
I appreciate those people for not dying so they could tell us what it's like to die
Underrated comment.
Lots of people have had this happen
@@jude3426 2 for me i think? maybe 3 but for sure once, clearly remember doctor/nurse/brother/roommates faces. humbling experience to wake up just fine and be told you got resuscitated a couple times, after asking where your stuff went.. yeah.. no memories though from the duration. i remember moments before roommate/emt door breaking in, and when i jumped out of the hospital bed to do pushups before getting released!
@@DEVIL_HIMSELF_ ye sure we can always hear more fun times ^_^
who got bros reboot card
Well, in 1975 when I was a 10 year old child, I had a near death experience or Nde. There’s no way that, that was a illusion or chemical “BANG!” of any sort! I floated over myself and was met whilst “up there” by a old lady who telepathically told me “you have to go back, it’s not your time yet” I was absolutely FURIOUS! Why? Because whilst being over my lifeless body I felt like I had instead of being surrounded in Oxygen, I was surrounded in pure LOVE. Not a word of a lie. I even remembered thinking that I was going “home” and I was really looking forward to it. (I had been very bullied as a child, plus my family life wasn’t much to write home about either!)
I could hear peoples thoughts…everything but telepathically! My vision was perfect too (I normally wore National Health glasses from the UK…I told you I was bullied didn’t I!) but the point I’m trying to make is this…there’s no way that my brain was doing this to me! If I was or had been so uninhibited, there’s absolutely no way I’d have ended up in some Hospital room looking down on myself! Instead I would have gone to Disney Land (I’d seen it on the tv) or gone to my best friends house! Also, I told my best friend what had happened when I got home, and mentioned it to my grandfather. He was the type of person who was a complete Conservative, a mechanical engineer, not in the slightest bit spiritual and lastly he was a big “0” when it came to anything “fantastical” or emotional! He was the sort of man you didn’t confide in is what I’m trying to say! I took the plunge and told him about it all. He asked me what the old lady looked like? When I explained her appearance to him (and remember how I described him!) he looked like a man who was in utter, utter cold shock.
I had never met or even heard him discuss or describe his mother, he just wasn’t that sort of person. In those days (when she was alive) women wore floor length skirts, blouses that were like Polo necks and had long hair done up in a bun. Anyway, (sorry this is so long!) I described her to him, even to her Purple and black lined blouse that tapered inwards to the waist. She also had a broach clipped to her neck. Then…and this is the part that amazes me…I completely forgot about the entire incident for the next 35 years!
I remembered it only when I was reading a book by Eckhart Tolle and I was researching the subject of Spirituality and Spiritualism.
So, I understand that a lot of the biological processes are true, but I definitely WON’T and NEVER will believe that, that is THE only truth about the way we die. I just won’t! 😊😂🎉❤
I loved your story❤
@@hbennett5640 Thanks! It’s all totally true too. I feel I have to keep repeating that because there are so many people who think it’s impossible to be real, that it’s just something people lie about! I used to think when we died it was just going to be a black nothingness, but that’s definitely not the case! 🤗
thats a beautiful memory, thank you for sharing it with us
Thanks for sharing, it was a great read.
One thing that fascinates me about some near-death experiences is when they have either a choice to stay or return to life, or they're told that it's not time yet. There is profoundly beautiful about that to me for some reason.
One can only imagine what lies beyond. Perhaps it's incomprehensible. But I hope it's something good.
@@ethanebonhart6705 You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to it! 🤗
I haven't been afraid of death...ever...though i admit that i was always kind of worried about the actual process. I read once that when you are experiencing death sometimes you'll see your life flash before your eyes. someone said "in situations of stress, your brain will try and find a similar thing you may have experienced in the past to help put you at ease, but when you're dying and since you've never died before, your brain flips through your memories like a rolodex looking for a something that you can relate to". The human brain is fascinating.
Said my brain.
I'm not a Rat... I'm HUMAN. The Light is a portal, we never Die, we transform into another dimension to continue our lives.
@@RobertodelaVega-t3w This guy really believes in an afterlife LMAO
That's a cool theory. Makes sense to me.
and since there is nothing ou can relate to as compared to death, the flipping goes on and on in a vain search
Ha Ha rolodex...showing your age
Ah yes, exactly the video you need at 2 AM.
Also, "How dying feels like" reminds me of th-cam.com/video/5Fed7gDrnJk/w-d-xo.html
Yes. Cheered me right up 😰
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. U can DucKing say that again !!!!!!
I'm Just in my damn bed thinking happy thoughts waiting for the weekend and get this at night 😂
Ahh I see it’s on purpose cuz different times zones for me lol but same
Funnily enough, I’m watching this at 230am in my own time zone. Though I work at night, so this is normal for me
3:55 for fml
My dad died last year. He was in his 80s and congestive heart failure finally caught up with him. Fortunately I was able to get to the hospital for his last days. Once the doctors said there was nothing more to do my dad didn't want to just extend things by staying on the drugs just barely keeping his heart going so we were all present as he died. It was weird and sad and I wasn't prepared for the death rattle. Fortunately my aunt knew about it and said it was normal, but I would have probably been less stressed if I knew it was a sign of relaxation not distress. I'm getting pretty emotional thinking about it, but this video really helped me process what I experienced and what I feared my dad was experiencing. Hopefully he was experiencing the positive things outlined here. I really do feel better after watching this. Thanks for sharing it.
Yeah imma dip out half way and find something else to watch before bed
This comment section feels so real. Thank you for the content. My grandfather died some months ago, I now can look back at what he went through. I was with him almost everyday till the end and he always talked about dreaming about the past and "going home". I hope he is.
Who knew the random recommended ASAP science I clicked on this afternoon would bring me much needed comfort. The best dog I ever had passed away november of 2020 in my arms from cancer that went undetected until her last day. It was so unexpected that euthanasia wasn't an option, there was no time. Her last breaths haunted me, it was very disturbing to watch her gasp for air and I always look back wishing i couldve done something different. To know that there was a possibility she wasn't suffering gasping for air brings me so much comfort. Thanks, guys!
Its peaceful
I almost drowned twice. If I can recall correctly, while you're gasping for Oxygen, panicking and thrashing about in the water, it's thrilling and scary. But the moment the thought of "death" comes to mind, the o2 deprived brain turns tranquil, and peaceful
@@adityasharma2870 I almost drowned when I was seven years old, the same thing happened to me. I had the realization that my life was over, and then I felt calm about it.
@@adityasharma2870I almost drowned as a child and remember holding onto the side of the pool and then sitting on the deck while my mother yelled at me. Nothing in between.
My mum and I were attacked last year and, while I only suffered a punch to the jaw and a concussion from falling I to the floor, the attackers smashed her head in with a crutch.
I kid you not, she went through every single stage you mentioned in this vid and, after the paramedics at the scene noticed she stopped breathing and were telling her to stay with them, I just shouted "WAKE UP!". That is the only reason my mum is still alive after that experience.
Your faith that she would wake up healed her
I wouldn't exactly say "healed" since after she came back, we had to go to the hospital to staple her head shut and she can no longer read unless she has a pair of reading glasses but, yeah, my faith certainly brought her back.
Speaking of faith, she actually saw a vision of Jesus while they were scanning her (can't remember if it was an MRI scan but it was certainly some type of scan to determine the severity of her injuries) and Jesus actually told her, when her and I do move on from this world, she is to be buried with me instead of cremated. Though I would like to point out in her vision that Jesus looked like he was suffering, with blood coming from his head and his hands and I think she said there was fire beneath his feet as well. Kinda depressing to know after all this time, he is still suffering for our sins but at least he was nice enough to tell mum to guide me because I legitimately don't know what I would do without her.
How interesting. Dying or even being dead in the Bible is depicted as sleeping. Jesus essentially said "Wake up" too when he healed the dying or brought back the dead.
@@TheLeondude Not trying to diminish your experience, but shouting wake up is not akin to saving someone lol. The ONLY reason your mom is alive is because trained medical professionals saved her life...
@@NeopopulistLet's agree to disagree.
Just kills me to think about this… This is how my great-grampa went. Died of old age. One of the sweetest people ever. God bless his soul.
This video was posted 5 days before my dad passed and now im watching it 5 days after. I wish I had seen this video sooner but luckily TH-cam has some genuinely great videos on this subject. I’m happy to say most of this video is familiar to what I had already researched but I’m still glad I watched it. Thanks guys, been watching your channel for many years ❤️
You have a lot of courage to explore this topic. Thank you.
As someone whose grandpa died a few days ago. He showed all these steps before dying. Thank you for the info
My grandmother died on the 15th and she was very peaceful and her breath just got shallower and fewer until her last xx
I'm not afraid of dying as it's lights off and game over....I'm afraid of dying in pain...which I think most people are really afraid of.
My sweet wife passed away in January following a long decline due to kidney failure. I was with her to the end and was holding her hand when she took her last breath. She was completely unconscious on her last day. She didn't have the "death rattle" but that day her breaths were more like short gasps. When she died, there was a long pause after one of those gasps, then one more gasp and that was it.
I had to wait about 90 minutes for the hospice nurse to come verify the death officially. She was lying on her back with her hands on her chest when she died, and within a very short time I could see her hands and face becoming very pale as the blood settle down into the lower part of the body. After about 30 minutes or so she was becoming noticeably colder.
sorry for your lose hope your doing good
@@IndigoParrott Thanks. It's been rough.
Sorry for your loss ,actually she had to start her own new life by the way of death
Sorry for your loss. I’m glad you were there for her till the end. You’re a really strong person
@@RhythmGetSome Thank you.
I had a near death experience. I was assaulted and suffered a blow to my head. However, the moment of the blow I felt 0 pain. i went unconscious. everything went black. i felt myself sinking into a relax state and slowly switching off. i remember telling myself. ' death,feels lonely, I know I will switch off soon into nothingness... Then soon after I seen a BRIGHT LIGHT ! my religious programming made me think ? GOD is this you ?. it was the bright lights from the operating table and the skilled doctors & nurses saving my life ! My brain had swollen out,and I had lost my hearing and unable to walk for 2 years. But @ least I didn't die ! I got another chance to fulfill some more dreams & goals !
Omg you should do a TH-cam video on your recovery process. I’m serious this can help and instill hope for people going through similar long term recovery like you had to go through
Damn bro what a story !
@@aloko2544 I never fully recovered but @ least I didn't die @ earlier age. Thanks for the comment 👍
Can you walk again?
@@paulseblano2761 yes. The first year it was difficult. Second year I relearnt how to cycle bike. I can now walk & cycle. The permanent disability issues i have are a constant head tremors, PTSD and permanent deafness in one ear 👂with constant tinnitus. 😑 I manage. It could have been worse.
First of all, YOU ARE WAY TOO YOUNG TO THINK ABOUT DYING! Great video & spot on. I am 71, my parents, 4yr older sister, & my fraternal twin bros are all deceased. EVERYDAY, I wonder when its MY time. So many famous ppl are dying around my age. There are times I hit lows as u state. Dreams, experiences, etc. I just try to do the best I can, with what I have and let the chips fall where they may. I have lived my life. 👍✊️🖖❤️
PS. A person dying/or in a coma, can hear what u say. This is your chance to tell them how much u love them.😊😊
People can die as babies, people can live into 3 figures. Don’t wonder when it is your time! Enjoy your life!!! Best wishes ❤
I don't think that coma info is true lol.
@@MicrogramHeathen Hard to verify, yeah. But it's still worth a shot, right? It can't possibly hurt if you tell someone on their deathbed how much you love them and that you look forward to seeing them again when it's your time. And it might give you some closure if you say all the things you regret not saying earlier. (Should probably try not to say anything that'll make it more stressful in the even that they CAN hear you, though.)
That's what the nurses say when you're visiting them in the hospital. Idk if it's just to comfort the family/friends, but you would think it would be unethical to lie about something like that @@MicrogramHeathen
death can happen at any time, she dont mind ur age, so much people have die around me since im a kid.
Watching anything related to death increases my heart rate and i feel like im shortening my life by watching this. Does anyone else feel like this
I love seeing content like this that seeks to demystify death, I feel like there's been a trend lately of seeing more of it around and I'm so here for it! I'm a long-time fan of Caitlin Doughty and her Ask a Mortician series, and I recently came across Hospice Nurse Julie who spoke about a lot of the same things in this video from the perspective of what it's like to sit vigil for a dying person.
I think knowing what it's like, knowing what happens to your body during and afterward, knowing what your wishes would be for your remains... it all helps with finding peace around death.
Thank you so much for making this video. I watched my Dad pass away January 12th, 2024 I won't go into what I witnessed, but it was very traumatizing for me. This video really helped me understand what he went through, and helped with the continued grieving process I am going through. You all are awesome, keep the great content coming.
I died a bit when i got shot. It was okay. Im alive now and certainly do not fear death, but am usually happy i get to continue to experience life, even though others have a habit of making it less than desirable at times.
mhm
I experienced dying when I was 16 due to severe head tramua and brain hemorrhage, I became very weak to the point I couldn't move and it was hard to even breathe.
Yes my relatives do that then God all a disappointment
Yeah it's alot of evil ppl in this world and most of them are in the government
No one who has ever succeeded at dying can tell you what it was like.
Not true.
You'll know different one day
@59dstorm absolutely true will never change.
@59dstorm nah. Neither will you.
just what i wanted to watch before bed tonight
Same here 😂
I know right 😮
Welcome to the party pal
same lol 😂😂😂
Me too
7 months ago, i was in a motorcycle accident. I was flying and i nearly died due to impact of my head on the road. Before almost dying, memories of my entire life flashed into me while i was heavily breathing and time is slowing down hence i controlled how i fell
Same, same bro. Broke both femurs and died on the helicopter. Besides feeling like a concertina I remember being at peace and giving myself permission to go, "It's ok mate, you can go..."
Then waking up in traction before surgery. Hat off, dude. We're still here😉
I was a pitcher in baseball and when I was a teenager I had a ball hit directly towards my face. Everything slowed down and felt like everything was in slow motion like in a movie. I ended up catching the ball otherwise I would have been dead. Someone had filmed it and watching it in real time it was so fast. The ball had to have been 100+ miles off the bat
@@cameronwheeler3219 that's amazing.. can you share that video? I am really interested, something like that happened to me but I missed the little ball which hit my eye :( :D
Remember watching your channel in high school......over a decade ago! Wow! Yall are going STRONG!
thank you so much for this video, i was afraid to watch it at first but it helped me process a lot about watching my mother die from a sudden cancer diagnose.
My neighbour died last year in June and I saw him the last few days before he went. I live in a shared accommadation so we had a shared kitchen and he told me he had a bowel issue, pneumonia (at Christmas) and another problem (the swelling in his legs). He asked me to put something in the outside bin for him because he was struggling to walk, and I did so for him, offering to help with anything he needed. Our rooms were opposite each other, so I heard him being sick and coughing a lot in the last few months before he died. I remember telling him I was concerned with his swollen legs and wanted him to see a doctor (they weren't concerned at all, unless he lost all feeling in them) and the last words he said to me were "I'll be dead soon, there'll be a room free". That was 2 days before he went.
GAYUP
Was it Uncle Hamish?
GG
I work in a care home & have seen more death working there in three months than in my entire life. It’s great to know that the people who passed were at peace. Thank you so much ❤
u guys help keeping that peace for them , thank u
Thank you for this. This info was actually pretty comforting to know
I had a NDE. It was peaceful darkness. I loved it. And it me stop wanting to die.
I am VERY afraid of the dying experience to the point I am having panic attacks. This video really helped me calm down about it a little bit. Thank you ❤
Me too. I didn't have a real fear of dying until I got some health problems. It wasn't anything life threatening, but something has changed, and know I'm afraid of heart attacks, severe allergies, asthma, and anything that may kill me in minutes. I hate feeling this way.
I had at least two panic attacks per month last year and this year still continues. So I take medication, but because of them I developed health anxiety ... it is awful, you are not alone.
It's ok. We are all going to experience it someday. Everyone alive today will pass through life within 150 years (barring technological advancements), so know that you're not alone in this experience.
This is the miracle of death, in how it comes to us and takes us whether we feel like we can handle it or not. Just as life has a way of working itself out, I think death does too.
Yes, I have read other articles that our body, mind, and the shut down process are all ways the body protects itself and leads to a peaceful end.
I'm 25 and I'm extremely scared of dying. I think about it all the time, mostly at night before I go to bed and it's really hard to stop thinking about it. My brain just can't comprehend that I won't exist after sometime and I just start spiraling into a hole of those kind of thoughts. When I wake up the next day I hope these thoughts are gone but they reaper more often than before and I start making conclusions like "why do I bother do anything at all", "nothing matters, i don't matter", "life is too short why do I have to work half my life and not do what I want (wait... I can't because someone has to pay the bills)", "I have dreams but I'll never be able to achieve them" and so on. I also have depression and this really worsens it. I've tried talking to relatives but most of them don't really believe I have depression in the first place (even though it's diagnosed from a doctor) and when I tell them about my thoughts their answer is "stop thinking about this you're too young". Yes, I am young... for now. I guess I'm sharing this because I search for an answer different from what my relatives are saying or for some hope or something? I don't know, just something to make me feel better. I've never been so honest and I've never shared something so personal to me on the Internet. I hope you guys won't laugh at me. Sending love to everyone. ❤
This is EXACTLY what I've been going through for the past 6 months. I'm only 24, and I wonder how I'll cope as I grow older. It came on after I had a series of panic attacks that lasted almost 3 weeks, with the final panic attack being so bad I thought I was dying right then. I've been a mess, but I've been working through it. Personally, I don't entirely believe that we cease to exist, although my brain is inclined to believe that I'll no longer exist because it sounds like the most logical idea. Something about it doesn't sit right with me.
Search ayahuasca and learn about it. Also look for Ian Stevenson and his work. I’m not sharing this and asking you to believe what I say. I believe there is something beyond us and ofc does not include religion.
32 and same story
Believe in god. It will help. It helped me. I had the exact same thoughts as you.
Here's some things to help you believing some sort of higher power (aka god) is real. (I'm agnostic and semi theist).:
Ppl tell u abt the big bang. It came from a singularity. Well, there the hell did the singularity come from? Someone must've created it. Guess what? That's god.
Trust me, it helps knowing theres life after death. Hope this helps.
honestly I struggle as well. Believing in something will help. If you believe there is nothing after, you are a lost soul ... it will drive you nuts. How do I know? I've been there and back. I didn't believe in anything and my life was empty.
There has to be more, if people just stop and think how weird life is, they will see we couldn't have just "popped" form a freaking explosion.
Science tries to explain things, but science is not all knowing, not at all. Science is wrong all the time.
We as society just "normalized" our lives and pretend that it is normal to be living in an endless void, flying around on a rock into never ending nothingness.
People are too busy with their jobs and what not, so they dont have time to just lay down, relax and think abou it, they refuse to do it. Why? Because if you do, the first thing that will happen is panic, existencial crisis. It is not an easy process. Big Bang and Evolution are wrong theories, believed by the blind sheep who refuse to research and think for themselves. Yes, there is evolution, but not to the point where a fully new species can be created ...
The world is maddness rn
I watched my father die and the death rattle was the worst part. Its nice to know he was actually in no pain. Miss him ❤
Witnessed the same...my father passed away 4 months ago and this was comforting...oh, Dad 😥🕯
When I was 19 I died of a cardiac arrest. Yes I had an NDE but I definitely left my body. I felt peace until I came back as EMTs were workimg on me. Buy I dont know any more about the afterlife than that. It was peace, bliss and as though I never knew I was ever in a body. I had no thoughts of what happened. I told nobody my experience for years.
i've had a theory that an afterlife is essentially a dreamlike state, and the "flash before your eyes" moment is your brain scanning a large part of your core memories to simulate the most relaxing place for your consciousness to rest after death (or whatever the afterlife you imagine is there after death), maybe as an evolutionary trait to reduce suffering. it feels like a lot of this confirms that theory. i think dreams and death are closely linked, and i hope we're able to learn more about dreams as science progresses
I just read a book that kindaaaaaaa explored this idea with a story where Sleep and Death are brothers, and I wish the author would’ve gone more in depth with it! The pacing was a bit clumsy but if anyone is interested the book was Nocturne by Alyssa Wees.
@@TheLordsCanary omg! i'll check that out thank u!
That's interesting, I have another theory related to that, about humans' belief in the concept of soul.
When someone passed away, we still feel their presence strongly because they have such a huge impact on our lives, so the feelings of someone being here/alive is different from the real state of someone actually being here/alive
So my theory is that humans believe soul exist because we can't grasp the concept of death so we mistake the feelings of someone's presence for their actual presence that is death
I’m skeptical on the evolutionary trait to reduce suffering theory because I’m unsure how there would be any selection pressure for specific experiences before death. I have my own theory that the feelings we feel when we’re about to die is a result of the body trying to ease itself of pain. Your body naturally releases opiates as kind of a painkiller (I think) so it’s possible that when everything is shutting down, it causes such a ruckus that the body over corrects and releases so much that you end up actually feeling pretty good. What this video was saying reminded me a lot of what people experience when they take strong drugs like h3r01n, where you become very calm, relaxed, and kinda enter these dreamlike states. Now I’ve never experienced dying nor have I ever taken opiates so take this with a grain of salt.
@@gwynethpearson8870yes, most evolutionary traits are based on what causes offspring.
Thank you ❤ This video is consoling for me, as it makes me rethink the departure of loved ones.
Wow, this is strange. I have had a few near-death experiences before, unknowingly having vasculitis in my heart for a while. I definitely felt a lot of this as I would pass out for 8+ minutes at a time. Very scary, good video!
after reading those comment section i am extremly sorry for what u guys have to gone though or watched ur loved one in those situation . I hope those souls could rest in peace. And people who survived im happy for u also man enjoy ur life u r lucky and spend time. You never know when ur time came in
You tackled this sensitive topic very well 👏🏻
I actually really appreciate this video! I have always had such a fear of dying and have thought about it often throughout my life. I’m still scared of dying because I love living life, but this video did give me some comfort😊💗
The angle you take on communicating information is very neat! I like it. :)
thank you bro, this makes me feel a lot better.
Thank you for making this video.
This is very comforting to know, thank you so much for this video!
I’ve died 3 times. Extreme confusion, uncertainty & significant curiosity. No fear @ all because you don’t understand what’s going on & it happens amazingly fast.
Wow that’s profound
I really wanna know if anyone has seen God/things like that
@@4am446
Sorry, no visions of a supreme being …🤷🏻♂️
I watched many videos about this topic but yours is the best, and is straight to the point. Thank you :)
Watching this exhausted even after sleeping 24 hours.
"My time has come"
No one needs 24 hours of sleep tho lol.
Bit out of nowhere, but I would like to thank the two of you for being one of my biggest inspirations. I stumbled upon this video, and I recognized this channel and voice immediately. I have watched your videoes since I was 12 (almost 21) now, and I haven’t seen your channel pop up on my recommended in a long time. And to say I wouldn’t be studying 1st semester in medicine without this channel would be a lie. So truly, from the bottom of my heart: thank you
I don’t no what’s more worrying, me choosing to watch this video before bed or that TH-cam has suggested this to me at this time of night! If I don’t wake I’m going to haunt your algorithm 😊
My experience was this:
- it wasn't frightening, it was quite calm
- it felt very inevitable (that feeling was incorrect!)
- it was still scary, but in a weird calm way (?)
- I was profoundly profoundly alone in the experience
did the time feel slow
experience? how so?
@@Amiralbayrak Not really, but I was very very in that moment.
Every living creature on earth dies alone. we may be surrounded by loved ones but its our own experience
@@connesuirlol this reply, i'm literally dead
(but seriously, I'd rather not talk about it cos I'll have to deal with awful targeted ads from Google)
Yes this is exactly what I needed during an existential crisis 😃
Something that somewhat calmed me down when I was having an existential crisis about death,
was thinking that everyone, my friends, all the people I know, the people I put on a pedestal, we all go through the same thing
In union, a feeling of togetherness and closeness, like they're gonna go through it too
But I don't know if thinking that was more effective when you yourself came to the thought instead of being told it,
or if an existential crisis is something that you just have to wait out after all
Don't worry, you were "dead" for the last 13.5 billion years before you were born.. So you allredy know how it is, kinda
@@domri4517 I mean, there is also reincarnation, pre-existence, and not just “nothingness” that gives a view of what happened before we were born
@@justaguy2183 oh yes... i mean, that sounds a bit nicer and more hopeful 😅
Excellent. When it’s my time, I look forward to the experience and the journey.
I hope there is something else after death. Maybe we wake up in another universe and live a new life.
Oddly enough, this was actually really comforting
1) relaxation
2) extreme fatigue and unconsciousness
3) seeing light
4) scary breathing
Bye bye
This helps me better understand what my father was experiencing his las few days in hospice due to cancer. He was asleep the last two final days until he passed. Thanl you, I feel better knowing he wasn't in pain, and I can only hope he was dreaming of all the good times we all had together as a family. I miss you a lot dad. RIP
Just wanna say that this channel is absolutely awesome. The information is brilliantly delivered, and the simple yet engaging animation is very enjoyable to watch!
My last grandpa is dying... He is at the stage of eating and drinking small spoonfuls. He has been sad for many years of I'm being honest. He is 94. It's odd seeing him like this.
It is so scary to think about . It is scary to think that everything dies ... even the universe.
Everything was born too though, even the universe. I find that a profound somewhat comforting thought. Thought I'd share it.
If it happened once it can happen again, including the universe :)
All is eternal, moving, flowing and changing.
New chapters of a never ending story.
@@TheNeilDarby Yeah if God wills it, you seriously believe in a void of nothingness "quantum uncertainty" created energy out of nothing to start the "big bang" which is also a theory? no proof just a guess for unreligious people
