i had anaphylactic shock from allergy to a medication once.when it first started happening,for a split second,i had the most panicked and apprehensive moment of my life.then,just b4 i passed out,i had a sudden,strange and euphoric thought-"why not just stop breathing?its so useless!" it was hard to describe,but it felt perfectly natural and not scary at all that my respiratory system had just gone into arrest.it actually registered as a thought and a "why bother?" feeling.it was a high caused by lack of oxygen,but just b4 i went under,it didnt feel scary or bad anymore,it felt like letting go was the most natural thing in the world.i dont advocate anyone killing themselves or anything-i'm just saying,i came close to death,and tho the experience started very bad,it quickly changed and all fear was gone.if that is typical,its not bad.if they hadnt brought me right back,would i have seen the light/tunnell,etc? i dont know.but the feeling b4 i coded was not scary.all this happened in seconds.i hope this eases ur fear.ps-that happened when i was hospitalised at 17 for a stomache ailment-the painkiller sent me into shock.weirdly,tho it was long ago,ever since,actually breathing freaks me out a bit-NOT breathing felt expansive,free and natural-breathing has always seemed a chore to me since then-even tho its automatic!!!!

I think not being with my loved ones, that they will have,I hope many years without me, a life that I will not be part of. Is this ego? I know the grief of loseing your Mom I don't want that pain for them. On the positive side if there is an after life I might meet up with those that I have loved and have gone before. Also it might be good who knows, visit all the places you wanted to go. My best friend summed it up as, it is something we all have to do, when a friend of hers died.

I read a study of near-death experiences and one woman said that when she was no longer breathing, that felt easier and more normal than breathing...
I agree, the stopping breathing thing is scary--but I guess it can only last so long. :)
Anyway, her comment somehow made me feel less squicked about it.

I'm not afraid to die, at least a sudden death, I once had a motorbike crash and it happens so quickly you dont understand a thing, I am more afraid for my loved ones and friends around me if I knew I only had a certain amount of time to live.

On the rare occasions that I think about Death, I look on the bright side and think of the interesting people I will meet when Satan finally calls me to his table.

I have a fear of a very painful and long death but actually dying is not a problem

for me I am not scared of death, it is just like going from one room to another. The thing that scares me is that I may b buried or cremated whilst not actually passed over!!!

I think the thing that most scares me is the thought of having to leave those that i love and the world that i love.
