What does death feel like????????????

Answer 1

There is not a single, satisfying answer to this question. A body that dies peacefully during sleep from non-traumatic causes will experience death differently from one that falls awake into a vat of acid or a fire or other terrifying prospect.

Since conciousness is not always or necessarily tied to what happens to our body (for example: people who suffer grievous wounds in battle but don't feel them or know about it till afterward), we can't prove what the concious mind experiences or "feels" at or near death. There are many near-death stories where the person claims to have taken (for a short time) a concious perspective beyond the body to watch what is happening from the outside. These may just be fanciful dreams, but they may not.

Those who do not believe there is a spirit that survives death would probably take the position that it does not feel like anything because you can't feel anything when you die because there is no "you" when you die.

Answer 2

A deep sleep.
My friend Rudy said it is like SEX you just lay back and let it happen to you.

When you sleep you do not know what you are doing and you are resting and you feel nothing. The heart stops and I imagine you drift out of your body. You wait to be taken to your resting place as the living do not know what the dead are doing and the dead do not know what the living are doing. The funeral is for the living to remember you for your good or bad deeds and to say good bye. No prayers can get you into Heaven so you need to express your faith in God while you are living and express it openly in a church as you are not ashamed of God being a part of our lives and it is not just a issue of doing good deeds. The best idea is to wait for the rapture to rise again and the mortal to put on imortality so you have a chance to live again. Jesus made that happen. So make your election sure where you want to be in the end times

Answer 3

A buddy told me that when he was apparently going through a stage of death in the hospital (he was critical and almost fully died), he said that what he had feared was not that bad - like just going to sleep. Dunno if this was an actual stage or not. A good book is 'Who Dies' by Stephen Levine. Note also that those who have an enlightenment experience experience the 'death of the self' while alive; one Zen master when asked if he feared death replied, "I died 30 years ago". Read '3 Pillars of Zen' by Kapleau for more info. Final note: the Tibetans outline stages of death called 'bardos' (actually, 'bardo' is used for all stages our mind goes thru). That might be helpful -- The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is pretty good for that.

Answer 4

I suppose it depends how you die, you would probably still be psychically attached to your corporeal form in your mind for a while and would experience some phantom limb like pain with the shock of no longer being alive anymore, then, as with anything, you would most likely adjust to it, then you would be kind of floating along and checking on how your loved ones are on the ole mortal coil, then nipping over to see how your dead relatives are on the other side, if they're on the right bit that you're on... I bet all those films we've watched and books we've read will affect our own perceptions of what we experience as we die. I bet we'll all be subconsciously expecting the white light and wanting to walk towards it, I keep thinking of Patrick Swayze in Ghost and thinking I'd better get myself some twee but original catchphrases so my next of kin know it is really me if I need to get some medium to verify that I am trying to contact them to say hi, only me, yep, it's fine when you're dead, you get on with your own life now! Yep, death will be like life I expect, only more holidays.

Answer 5

I would assume it depends on how you die. In your sleep; it probably doesn't feel like anything. From a car wreck; it might be painful at first but then you'd go into shock and feel nothing. The actual death part, I would guess, might feel like passing out.

Answer 6

Not sure but it has to be a sight better than this summer cold I am suffering through. The way I see it, pain is only pain if you can remember it, so death would be painless since there is nothing to remember it is the end.

Answer 7

As someone said, no one really knows. But, not breathing after your final breath must not be pleasant at all.

Based on your other questions I sense some existential angst or suffering over your housing situation and boyfriend.

IT WILL GET BETTER! Just hang on for now and look for better housing and find a better boyfriend! Good men and good housing are rare but they exist.

If you can call a friend or local hotline to talk. If you can afford to do so seek counseling just to get support and advice for changes in life.

I wish you believed in God because it would make it easier. God is for you to lean on in hard times.

But, I am sure you are a strong person and beautiful inside and out so you just have to lean on yourself and on your friends if you can.

Answer 8

If we knew, we'd never be hear to tell you.

All I know is that the greatest pain AFTER death is childbirth! And that's quite painful. If anyone of you have experienced it from beginning to end, you know what I mean! That's the only thing I could compare it with.


Good luck finding out!

Answer 9

Release!

Answer 10

no matter what answers you get to this question, don't believe any of them. why you ask? because we are all alive and no one here has experienced death. even someone who has experienced near death cannot answer it. sorry, you just gotta wait and see.
