    New research found out what it FEELS like when you die. Scientists were able to study the brains of people who were being resuscitated with CPR and then interviewed the ones who CAME BACK TO LIFE to figure out what it feels like to die.

    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.

      Crazy thing is I lost my friend back in 2020, heard the news from my other classmate 3 days after he passed. 2 weeks later I had a dream with him in a very very bright place, biblically accurate too heaven. I couldn't see my body, I was looking for my hands, my legs, my torso but seen nothing. Then he appeared out of the brightness and hugged me. Told me he'd see me whenever I arrive there, when, I don't know but just enjoy life while you have it. Love you bro, then walked back off into the light and disappeared

    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.

    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 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.

      I wouldn't exactly say "healed" since after she came back, we had to go to the hospital to staple her head shut and she can no longer read unless she has a pair of reading glasses but, yeah, my faith certainly brought her back.
      Speaking of faith, she actually saw a vision of Jesus while they were scanning her (can't remember if it was an MRI scan but it was certainly some type of scan to determine the severity of her injuries) and Jesus actually told her, when her and I do move on from this world, she is to be buried with me instead of cremated. Though I would like to point out in her vision that Jesus looked like he was suffering, with blood coming from his head and his hands and I think she said there was fire beneath his feet as well. Kinda depressing to know after all this time, he is still suffering for our sins but at least he was nice enough to tell mum to guide me because I legitimately don't know what I would do without her.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 remember feeling no pain at all during a massive heart attack that resulted in an emergency cath, but I was extremely scared and I was sobbing because I didn't want to die. Once they pushed the meds (which includes Valium) in the cath lab, my fear mostly vanished. And the only sensation that I felt was a tug in my heart as they were performing the procedure. The cardiologist would tell me to breathe deeply and I would feel that sensation. Other than that I felt nothing.

    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

When they were there for my FIL, they even took us aside and said “you’re not allowed to give this to him, but I’m allowed to show you how to administer it, as well as clearly explain what a lethal dose is, and I have no way of knowing what happens after I leave for the day.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. ❤

It came on after I had a series of panic attacks that lasted almost 3 weeks, with the final panic attack being so bad I thought I was dying right then. I've been a mess, but I've been working through it. Personally, I don't entirely believe that we cease to exist, although my brain is inclined to believe that I'll no longer exist because it sounds like the most logical idea. Something about it doesn't sit right with me.

      There has to be more, if people just stop and think how weird life is, they will see we couldn't have just "popped" form a freaking explosion.
      Science tries to explain things, but science is not all knowing, not at all. Science is wrong all the time.
      We as society just "normalized" our lives and pretend that it is normal to be living in an endless void, flying around on a rock into never ending nothingness.
      People are too busy with their jobs and what not, so they dont have time to just lay down, relax and think abou it, they refuse to do it. Why? Because if you do, the first thing that will happen is panic, existencial crisis. It is not an easy process. Big Bang and Evolution are wrong theories, believed by the blind sheep who refuse to research and think for themselves. Yes, there is evolution, but not to the point where a fully new species can be created ...

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.

    Wow, this is strange. I have had a few near-death experiences before, unknowingly having vasculitis in my heart for a while. I definitely felt a lot of this as I would pass out for 8+ minutes at a time. Very scary, good video!

    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 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.

    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

      That's interesting, I have another theory related to that, about humans' belief in the concept of soul.
      When someone passed away, we still feel their presence strongly because they have such a huge impact on our lives, so the feelings of someone being here/alive is different from the real state of someone actually being here/alive
      So my theory is that humans believe soul exist because we can't grasp the concept of death so we mistake the feelings of someone's presence for their actual presence that is death

    • @gwynethpearson8870
      @gwynethpearson8870 Місяць тому +35

      I’m skeptical on the evolutionary trait to reduce suffering theory because I’m unsure how there would be any selection pressure for specific experiences before death. I have my own theory that the feelings we feel when we’re about to die is a result of the body trying to ease itself of pain. Your body naturally releases opiates as kind of a painkiller (I think) so it’s possible that when everything is shutting down, it causes such a ruckus that the body over corrects and releases so much that you end up actually feeling pretty good. What this video was saying reminded me a lot of what people experience when they take strong drugs like h3r01n, where you become very calm, relaxed, and kinda enter these dreamlike states. Now I’ve never experienced dying nor have I ever taken opiates so take this with a grain of salt.

    I watched someone die slowly from a terrible terminal illness, and they did seem somewhat relaxed, and lost hunger and thirst in their last days, in addition to the extreme fatigue.... BUT they were also absolutely LOADED up on morphine and other pain killers the whole time, which is what I think is the REAL reason is for this. In a controlled death environment (where I imagine these studies were also conducted) you will be pumped full of every drug there is to make the experience slightly less terrible... but I don't think that's what the natural dying experience is like in general.

    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 am epileptic and I had a "Near-Death Experience" in 2018 after suffering a Grand Mal Seizure, Traumatic Brain Injury and a Paralytic Stroke. At the start of the seizure, I saw a bright white flash of light. After I struck my head and was knocked unconscious, I do NOT recall much. I am told that I endured six (6) craniotomy brain surgeries, which saved my life, but to tell the truth, I was "gone" during all of this.
    I regained consciousness in my hospital bed, but it was YEARS before I understood the extent of my ordeal. I could see how dying slowly from a terminal illness would be a much different experience than what I went through.
    In fact, while I was in the Skilled Nursing Facility recovering from my own ordeal, my mother was dying slowly of Esophageal Cancer. 😢
    She was in "Palliative Care" and then Hospice. My family told me very little about this and I was prohibited from saying farewell to her.
