About death?

Question

I already posted a question about being afraid to die. Now I wanna ask another. I am also afraid of coming alive after they bury me or put me in to cremate me. My boyfriend says it's not possible because of the embalming fluid. Is this true? Has anyone heard of people coming back from the grave? I don't mean spirits

Answer 1

ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON YOU AND DO THE EMBALMING NOBODY WOULD COME BACK. BLOOD IS DRAINED AND REPLACED BY CHEMICALS.

Answer 2

A lot of people have the same fears. I know a lot of people who even though they wanted a closed casket, were embalmed so that could never happen. When you are embalmed, all your blood is taken from your body and replaced with the embalming fluid, therefore you could not breath and get oxygen to your brain or heart.
If you decided you want to be cremated, then you can also be embalmed then too, just to be sure.
I've heard stories, but that's all they are, just stories. You don't have to worry.
Make peace with your spiritual side and you won't have to worry any longer about death at all.
Death is a common fear.

Also, why not consider being an organ donor and that would give you extra assurance and someone else another chance at life!!!!

Back in the old days, there was a possiblity of being buried alive. This was in the time before sophisticated medical equipment to check for vital signs. They did not even have stethescopes to check for a heart beat or thermometers to take the temperature. If your family could not feel your shallow breaths on their cheek or hear your faint heart beat with their ear against your chest, you could be thought dead when you were really comatose.

However, that does not happen today. If you are in the hospital and your heart stops beating, the first thing they do is check your vital signs. If there aren't any, they use medicines & electricity to get your heart pumping again. If you go into a coma in the hospital and appear dead, they check your vital signs first with stethascope then with more sophistiacated equipment. It is very unlikely that several well trained people checking you for a heartbeat would all miss it and send you to the morgue!

If you are at home or anywhere else & an ambulance is called for you, the first thing they do is check your pulse & breathing. If you aren't breathing & have no pulse, they begin CPR to keep you alive. They do not stop until a doctor declares that there is no more hope and that you are dead.

So in today's society, the medical professionals are not going to send a barely living person to the funeral director. There are too many brains trying to keep you alive. There are too many machines that can detect the faintest amount of life force left in a person.

By the time anybody gets to the Funeral home, they are really and truly dead.

You are watching too much TV and horror movies. People don't come back alive after being dead for a while. True, occasionally someone will have such a low respiratory rate that it is difficult to tell if they are alive. Once a year or so, you hear about someone waking up in the morgue, before someone has examined the body. But out of tens of thousands of deaths every day, that happens very rarely. And the mortician would notice right away when the body is being prepared if it is still "warm" a clear sign of an active circulatory system. They handle the body directly, and would certainly notice the difference. A dead body that has been dead for a few hours is quite cold--reverting to the ambient temperature of the surroundings.
As to fearing death--learn to accept it is something that will happen someday, but don't dwell on it, nothing to fear. Be positive and enjoy the life you have, live it to the fullest so when you are near death, it won't be something to be afraid of, having lived your life to the best of your ability.

Answer 5

it wont happen.when embalming fluid is put in,b4 burial,all ur blood is drained out and replaced by embalming fluid.if u werent already dead,that would definately kill u for good !as for cremation,u are not embalmed prior to that unless u specify that u wish to be,but signs of death such as rigor mortis and liver mortis,will indicate to the declaring physician and anyone else who views u prior to cremation,that u are in fact,dead.rigor mortis happens several hours after death,it cant happen to a living person,so u can specify in ur will that u are not cremated untill definate signs of death,such as rigor,are present.people a long time ago were sometimes thought to be dead because comas were not understood,and in certain comas,respirations are so shallow as to appear non-existant.today,we can measure brain-waves and so on,and distinguish comas from actual death.so please live ur life,enjoy-and dont let this worry hang over u !!! ps-they dont take ur insides out unless u died under hard to explain circumstances and an autopsy is needed for clarification and/or evidence.even then,they put ur organs back in and sew u up,and make u look normal again,so that an open casket funeral,if desired,will be possible despite the autopsy.in regular deaths,they just embalm u.they dont remove organs .im clarifying an answer above,that meant well but had some misinformation.

Answer 6

Ok yes he is right... they take your guts out...They remove every organ and put embalming fluid in their place... There is NO WAY to come back after that... NO WAY!!!
I think that any stories that even come close to that is when they bring a dead person over to the morgue sometimes their nerves will jump and make an arm move or something...kinda like when you kill a bug but the legs still move...same thing! BUT YES ONCE YOU ARE DEAD AND FILLED WITH EMBALMING GOO THERE IS NO WAY TO BE ALIVE!! You need organs to live dear!

Answer 7

they embalm you.. which means that they take all your blood out and put in embalming fluid to preserve you

but you are dead... not just laying there .. with out anyone noticing.. really dead.. no question about it

no people don't come back from the grave.. just in scary movies

Answer 8

You may get a kick out of the story by Edgar Allen Poe:
"The Premature Burial".
Since there is a resolution in the story, I don't think it'll make your phobia any worse, even though some of the mental imagery is intense.
Give it a read.

Answer 9

No, you don't get up and walk away from your grave. Maybe what he means is that your spirit can come back and visit people after you die. There are ghosts who remain here after death, that's because they don't acknowledge that they died. I don't believe you'll be one of them.

Answer 10

Nope. It isn't possible. Way back then it was because people didn't know the symptoms of death. But today, it will never happen.
