In your final moments of your life...

[silverblk mystix]

do you want to be conscious?
Do you hope that you are conscious and able to sense or distinguish that you are leaving soon?

Do you hope to be unconscious and just die without recognizing the final moments? Or maybe unconscious just so you won't feel pain?

I remember a thread where some people had near-death experiences and it was very interesting and I was wondering what they were thinking right at the final moment.

I won't bore you with the whole details, but I was once really near and I remember the last minute or so;

My wife was holding me and begging me to breathe and I was unable to breathe-I was basically suffocating and I would catch a breath and then start wheezing again trying to let air in my lungs but I could not. In the final minute I remember as she was holding me and telling me the paramedics were enroute and pleading for me to breathe and I just kept falling back and my eyes were rolling back (or so that's what it felt like-I couldn't see myself) and I distinctly remember thinking;

This is it. If I had millions or billions right now I would spend it all on some air. It would do me no good to have all that money because I can't buy a fucking single second of breathing. I fell back and my wife screamed (she wasn't even my wife back then) and then suddenly I caught a beautiful full breath of air. I started breathing and couldn't get enough. It was the most beautiful thing in the world to me. Just to breathe normally.

Once in a while I remember and I appreciate the luxury of just being able to breathe.

So, would you rather be conscious? Unconscious? Unaware?

I want to go like Grandpa peacefully in my sleep.












Not like Grandma and Uncle Ned screaming as the car hit the wall.

I heard another version;

unlike the other 40 people screaming as the bus he was driving went off the cliff.

Yeah going in your sleep is probably the best. My gramps died in his sleep. My grandmother told us he was outside smoking a cig and having a beer. Came in the house and said "I'm really tired, I'm turning in early,love you" never woke up. Pretty bad ass.

If suffering is what you'd hope to avoid, then I agree.

Is there value in being aware that you are leaving? I don't know.

Someone else has to have an opinion on this.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I've actually thought about this. I think dying in your sleep would suck it'd be like turning off a computer in a way and you won't know you're dead/dying. I think I want to die while awake

Agreed.

It just seems like such a shame that you are leaving for good and if you are asleep or unconscious you will miss the final moments.

Is it worth the pain or sadness to be conscious?

If you are able to say goodbye to someone is it worth it to be conscious?

[RaZon]

No way I want to know I'm in the process of dying. Waiting around to die....whoa!!! I don't want to know about my final moments.

Imagine you are in a car wreck late at night, so there you lay your chest crushed, blood all over the place as you lay there knowing you are a goner.

Anyone read that book heaven is for real? I'm halfway through, it's pretty crazy.

Very respectable and prestigious waiting tables...now I see why you look down on others chosen professions.

[mavs>spurs]

[MavDynasty]

[Jeff Leppard]

I almost died once when i was high on coke and performing auto-erotic asphyxiation on myself. I saw a fantasy world with unicorns and dragons and goat dudes and shit. Then I saw this elf chick with big jugs floating toward me. She looked like the blonde chick from Heart. I still had an erection…you know…from jerkin' it. Anyway, she starts blowing me it was awesome. She knew all the tricks. Deep throating, tongue twirling, shaft strokin', ball fondling…I think at one point she had her finger in my asshole…Then, all of a sudden, I'm back in my closet with a belt around my neck and my roommate is holding my legs up. So, I finally get down and and dude has this silly ass grin on his face and I realize…He was the one blowin' me. So, I kicked him in the balls as hard as I could. What a homo.

I want to be conscious, but I want it to be quick.

My friends grandpa knew he was going to die. He asked for a pan of brownies, ate the whole batch and died shortly after. That's just awesome.

[Wild Cobra]

I don't think about dying. I will think about such things as I get closer. I can tell you this, I'm not afraid to die. I have no doubt that we are a spiritual being. I'm real curious as to what really is next, but in no hurry to get there either. I'll take my time here in this weird weird world.

[Halberto]

^Why are we spiritual beings, but not dogs and cats? People have no problem imagining life is done for animals but can't fathom the same for themselves.

Maybe they are spiritual. I haven't a clue. I just know from actually having a spiritual experience that we are more than flesh.

[Halberto]

Acid?

[JoeChalupa]

I'd like to go in my sleep or just peacefully drift off.

[clambake]

air is so underrated.
