It's way different than you think 

"The sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent" bro am *_I_* dying?

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 ❤

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.

Nothing like a nice existential crisis before heading to bed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“…the sleep is no longer rejuvenating…”. I’ve been dying for decades now.

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.

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.😊😊

I put off watching this, because i have severe death anxiety, but this was very comforting. Thank you

“Knowing they were dying, but felt like they were going home” Wow..

Watching this exhausted even after sleeping 24 hours. "My time has come"

Remember watching your channel in high school......over a decade ago! Wow! Yall are going STRONG!

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.

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.

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 RU-vid 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 ❤️

Excellent. When it’s my time, I look forward to the experience and the journey.

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

Well that was oddly hopeful and reassuring

You are amazing. Thank you for this video. I watched my dad die 20 years ago and I feel much better knowing he wasn't in pain, and I'm also less scared about dying after watching your video.

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

Thanks for the existential crisis.

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.

Love your channel! Following for SO many years! ❤

Thank you for making this video.

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 🙏

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.

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😊💗

It has been a blessing that until I reached my 30 years of age I had several out of body experiences, and that's how I discovered that I'm not the body. I've seen the other side and it's not only peaceful, its far more real than here. It feels 10 times more real, more clear, no pain, lightweight. And I've seen other beings, not only humans. The reality/universe is huge and beautiful. I'm 45 years now and I didn't have more OBE experiences, but death is something I await with much joy for when my day comes, the human experience is very very difficult and heavy... compared to the freedom and liberty one can experience "out there". Considering the importance of what we do here, I'm using my time on Earth the best I can to learn and grow as much as possible.

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 appreciate those people for not dying so they could tell us what it's like to die

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.

You have given me a sense of relief and peace following my Mum's death a few months ago (sudden cardiac arrest - she was alone at home when it happened and found about an hour after). Knowing she was likely relaxed and possibly had a sense of going home makes all the difference. I hope so much that that was the case. Thank you so much for this video!

Its scary thinking that one day we just wont exist anymore

Step 2's sleep not being rejuvenating and constant fatigue sounds awfully like what day to day life feels like 😅

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.

This is actually comforting.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

This made me feel really comforted, actually. Thank you

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

Great video, I remembered when my mom was dying she complained about extreme fatigue no matter how many hrs she slept

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.

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 !

Thank you so much. One of my best friends died 2 weeks ago from adolescent bone cancer. I’m glad I have some sort of understanding now.

your insights were exactly what i needed today!

I just recently watched my grandpa die. This video actually brought me some peace. Thank you ❤️

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. ❤

Well done, never seen this information ANY where else.

whenever I watch videos like this, i feel this strong emotion that's like it's almost good, but just feels scary in a way that you normally wouldn't expierience. not like a jumpscare, fear of pain, distorted faces, being alone, space, perception, or anything like that. it's truly unique in this way that it's this uneasyness in somehow being reminded of, yet never having expierienced, the distortions, and distortions of what consiousness even means and the incomprehensible idea of consiousness just stopping. and i feel that when i try to describe it, the idea falls apart.

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 just turned 40, and I love your suggestions. I'm guilty of wearing my skinny jeans with Converse or my Hunter rain boots when the weather is poor. I'm 5'8 and 125 lbs. My weight hasn't changed since high school. When you mentioned that, I was thinking, umm. I definitely do not exercise, I do get botox and fillers. Tretinoin is my best friend along with unseen sunscreen!!! This is my first visit to your channel, and I love it!!!

My mother died in a memory care facility during the Covid shutdown. Long story short, I had to make less than ideal choices at the time and I struggled with guilt for a while. Her refusal to eat was one of the first signs her time was coming. I knew people who suggested feeding tubes, but others who understood. I don't know, there was just something comforting about seeing this video today and recognizing some things as normal. Thanks.

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.

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 remember walking in on my grandmother when she had that "death rattle". She succumbed to metastasized breast cancer. I was 10 at the time. I still remember how I felt that day till now, but by the grace of God, my son was born the same day that she died, 20 yrs later. Now I feel joy as opposed to pain whenever that day rolls around, all thanks to my little guy.

Sounds great - kind of cozy and relax 😌 can't wait

My grandpa passed away on the 30th last month, so this video brought some clarity and peace of mind for me. Thank you for always educating us

I once read somewhere that upon dying, your brain floods itself with DMT. I dont know if it's true, but it's made me feel a lot better about the process

I’ll be 40 this year and this video was really needed as my midlife crisis has pushed in some weird, EXTRA “awareness” that it’s DEFINITELY going to happen! It trips me TF out n I get a lil anxious but more so I question the point of it all n the purpose!! Getting Older really F n sucks man, smfh

Random person dying Scientist: “So how do you feel? Relaxed? What? Tell me,”

Ah yes, exactly the video you need at 2 AM. Also, "How dying feels like" reminds me of ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Fed7gDrnJk.html

As someone whose grandpa died a few days ago. He showed all these steps before dying. Thank you for the info

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.

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.

just what i wanted to watch before bed tonight

I always found death surreal and fascinating... and not for messed up ways one may think. 😥 It's the fact your conciousness is going into a supposed new dimension that you can't tell with either be a new beginning or continuation of your "waking" life. And I stand by the fact that people deserve a calm, honorable and/or fair passing in what they personally equate it to. It just sucks to see or hear when there are those unfairly dying due to other's miscalculated actions... or worse, heriditary diseases. Live as long and meanigful as you can so that you do not fear death when it comes much much later in life as it should. ❤️

My grandfather is currently suffering a lot in the hospital. He's been hospitalized since 2 days today. He suffered a lot of emotional problems his entire life and all in all, he was a very helpful person. I hope he passes and doesn't have to go through another few months of emotional and physical trauma. I hope everything that Greg said, especially the "going home" and "relaxation" part finally comes true for him.

You have a lot of courage to explore this topic. Thank you.

Fun presentation 💀 You’re very talented with the illustration!

I always liked Alan Watt’s spoken lectures. They helped me with my death anxiety.

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 ❤

Imagine dying and all the scientists do is test you and ask you questions

Thank you -- this is very interesting.

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 ❤

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

Last December I got severely burned (30% 2 and 3rd degree), got to the hospital 2 days later in a terrible shape straight to the icu. During the first 4 days it didn't even matter if my eyes were open or not i was seeing things nonstop. Also had zero hunger. One night a nurse woke me up telling that they had to transfer me to another state, and they would do it first light in the morning, but I had to pay a fee. I was very worried because i had no wallet neither my celphone on me to pay. In the morning I asked the same nurse about the transfer and she said that didn't even exist, so I must have made it all up. 5 days later visions stopped and hunger returned, i got out of the icu and 30 days later I got back home alive.

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.

1) relaxation 2) extreme fatigue and unconsciousness 3) seeing light 4) scary breathing

I’ve nearly snuffed it 5 times. Two from massive blood loss trauma and 3 from ketoacidosis leading to sepsis and all manner of complications. My experiences have been panic, pain, terror more pain more terror. There wasn’t a slow build up to any of the events so there was no time to prepare my brain. It’s left me with absolute gratitude and admiration for the emergency staff that saved me and every day I’m not experiencing that is a massive bonus. Everyone is different of course but I have a high pain threshold and not much scares me. It is painful, it is scary. Even if you’re not religious you will damn sure be praying to any deity that cares to listen, trust me. Also hope to hell you’ve got a set of docs that aren’t stingy with the painkilling needle because you’ll be silently screaming for it before the “peace” of the coma.

Having happened twice before, I can confirm I do not want to return from the peace and pain free tranquility a third time. I was aware of what was happening, who was there, what was being said and done. Yet, I wasn't afraid or worried. I was at a level of calm I had never felt before. The second time was the same as the first, a complete cessation of pain and an abundance of pleasant calm that might be close to what you'd feel going back in time to relive a precious memory with a loved one, one last time. There was no ill feeling of what might be lost, i.e., connection to friends, loved ones and life. Just completely blissful peace. A close friend, upon finding out he was months away from dying, told me, "Only the living truly feel the loss." It took me until event to realize just how right he was.

Thank you for this - my curiosity got the better of my fear

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 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.

Last year i almost died so i can tell how it feels, i was in a grocery store buying something when suddenly out of the blue i started feeling empty, i wasn't feeling down nor bad just as if my organs weighted the same as a feather, i decided to buy some pills and ride my bicycle, when i stopped riding because of the red light i started feeling sleepy and i decided to close my eyes just for a moment, then when i opened my eyes again it was a world of darkness, my eyes were open but all i could see was only darkness i literally couldn't see anything, when i noticed that i also noticed that the rest of my body was feeling good like everything was going to be okay from now on, i didn't feeled alarmed nor stressed because well i had and still have a very shitt* life currently and for a moment i thought "well, this is it, at least i don't have to suffer anymore in this shitt* world" i was blind and about to pass away then i remember i had things to do that day and i had to bring food for my gransma and my uncle then i snapped and started putting pressure in my eyes closing and opening them with force and i started riding my bicycle again even being blind then a few seconds later i started getting my vision again and reached my house with no problem after that, it was the first time something like this happened to me and it was the first time ive ever feel so calm and in peace with myselg in my life didn't talked to anyone about wgat happened to my that day.

Fascinating! Thank you.

Yes this is exactly what I needed during an existential crisis 😃

I watched many videos about this topic but yours is the best, and is straight to the point. Thank you :)

Sometimes you're here today and gone tomorrow...👌🏼💯✔️

watching my dad die was crazy man I always felt a way about it and always felt like whatever power he had left in him he put it in me to make sure I stay strong through this life. I only seen him in my dreams a couple times but i hope before I die I can dream and talk to him again.

Ive OD’d twice and I felt my breath and my heart become slower and slower, it was hard to fight back because it was so peaceful, it just felt like a really deep sleep I couldn’t wake up from. There were no dreams though, no thoughts or feelings, just pure oblivion… Endless nothingness.

I almost bled to death after an accident. It feels like being drained of energy. Then it’s hard to catch a full breath. Having almost all of your blood replaced feels amazing. For months. I would do it again if I could. I almost died of an accidental poisoning/overdose and that was worse. Racing heart, feeling like you want to vomit but there’s nothing to vomit. And the pounding pressure. Then weak in the knees. I’ve passed out from pain and fear a couple times and that wasn’t so bad, just like darkness takes over your vision.

I saw the title of this video and almost didn't watch it. Im glad i did. I lost my dad to cancer in 2022,he died at home as was his wishes. I was looking after him the night he died. It has troubled me that he may have suffered but im more reassured that his passing was better than i imagined.
