Death, the seconds after?

Question

what do you think happens the second after you are officially dead and why do I fear dying so much?

Answer 1

When you are dead, it is like being in a deep sleep except you never wake back up. Why fear death? After all it is unavoidable.

Answer 2

As far as what happens when you die, that is a great mystery that only the dead can remember, and they don't seem to be talking to us living very much!

Why do you fear death? Quite simply put, death is change. It is the ultimate change where you leave behind your family and your friends and once it occurs, there is no turning back. Every choice that we make in life we can correct or altar and be able to undo in some way shape or form. Death, we can not. It is permanent.

Some comfort this fear of unrepairable change by having a belief system, a sense of faith in a greater being that will reunite them with their loved ones as they approach death themselves. They envision a glorious kingdom, a resurrection, an after life. This comforts their fears to where they are able to face their own mortality.

Others comfort their fears by saying once one is dead, they are gone. There is no more existance. No more pain, no more mistakes, no more suffering. Just a final sleep.

Our bodies are run by electricity, plain and simple. When the body passes, that electricity needs to go somewhere and do something.While we may think of electricity as something that runs out, it is not. It is always around us in some way, shape or form, even if it has no outlet. Once the body has passed, this electricity is released out of it's cage. Where it goes after that, no one can really say. I personally like to think that a small bit enters into the bodies of those that we love, so that we are always with our loved ones after we have parted. It is one reason why funerals seem to have so much energy in the air and why graveyards seem so spooky. The residual electricty is stil high in these places where it leaves the body and enters into their loved ones.

You have a choice. You can continue to fear death, or you can acknowledge its existance and be ready for it. When your time comes, you don't want you last thoughts to be "I should have told him that I loved him." Or "I really wish I had finished that college degree." When your time comes, you want to know that you have lived each of your dreams in this life, and be prepared to embark on new ones in the next realm of existance, no matter what it may be.

Death is change. Don't fear change, embrace it. All changes within your life. Don't waste time fearing death and pondering what occurs. Instead, use that time to decide what you would like to occur in your life now and how you will pursue it!

Answer 3

The moment of death is almost exactly like the moment you wake out of a vivid dream. You remember everything you were so obsessed with in the dream, everything about who you were in the dream... but everything else that makes you yourself, which you'd forgotten while you were asleep, that comes flooding back too, and, having properly awakened back into yourself, you gp catch up with your friends and get back on with all the stuff you were doing before you went to sleep.

We are all programmed to fear death as an evolved biological survival mechanism. You'll fight harder to stay alive if you're scared of death than if you're not scared of it, and if you fight harded, you have a better chance of surviving, and thus of passing on your genes. So the fear of death is just a natural reflex to help ensure you breed successfully. Nothing at all to do with your soul's journey.

Answer 4

When I was 15 my heart stopped and I had to be resucitated and I remember it as being like a flash and a complete feeling of floating and I have never feared death since because there really isn't anything to be scared of its just the fear of the unknown so please don't fear death as I learnt from my experience there really is nothing to fear!
.in my job I see life and death constantly and when looking after terminally ill people I tell them of my experience and this gives them a sense of peace about their imminent passing so I hope it also calms you fear of dying.

Answer 5

The second you die you cease to exist. Time passes without you knowing about it just as it would when you are sound asleep. You will be resurrected by God in the end of this earth's history in one of two resurrections described in the Bible. When you are raised to life it will seem to like the next second after you died. If you see Jesus in the clouds of the sky you should rejoice because you will be living for all eternity with Jesus and the other saved people first in heaven for 1000 years and then on the new earth recreated completely by Jesus after sin and sinners will be eliminated from the universe for ever. If you see the New Jerusalem city from heaven setting on the earth you should be sad because you will soon be destroyed in a lake of fire called Hell and be burned up and turn to ashes never to be alive again. This is all explained in the Bible. This is what we all have to look forward to if we die before Christ returns the next time to take the saved to Heaven.

Answer 6

This is "Cell Biology" question. To give you but a short answer I will tell you that; your body looses all the corbondioxed at the last breath to the nearest tree or plant by the second after your death.

Any way, it is natural to fear death.

Answer 7

Don't fear the inevitable, prepare for it. That is what the old Egyptians and a bunch of other ancient people/cultures did. My thought on the first second after dead is one of confusion, but I believe that death is a physical thing that doesn't touch our awareness.

Answer 8

I dont believe in religion and i dont believe in life after death. I think when your heart stops beating and you are pronounced clinically dead, it then takes a while for the blood/oxygen to stop being pumped round the body so parts of your body keep functioning for a while. Your organs slowly shut down one by one over a short period of time. Then thats it - all over.

This is nothing to worry about. Its only something to worry about if you are wasting your life away and not making the most of each moment while youre here! You only have one chance so dont worry - go out and enjoy what you have x

Answer 9

Our soul and spirit depart from our physical body, and go to the Great Light. Fear of death is a lack of faith. Convince yourself that the reward awaiting you after death is so much more wonderful than anything you could possibly experience here.
