What will death feel like?

[hmnow]

I am not asking what will you feel when you are dead. But the moment before die or loose consciousness

Would it be like counting backwards before a surgeon operates. You just let it take you.

It depends on the way you will die. Like if I come infront of a truck it will be painful but if I have nembutal it will be peaceful.

I had an experience recently where I lost consciousness. I can remember that I was aware that it was about to happen (cold sweat, dizziness, losing vision and hearing), but then the next thing I knew I was waking up. The brain didn't process the actual moment of losing consciousness as a memory, so it was like it didn't happen. I think many people's deaths will be like that. You will be aware that something is happening up to a point, but because the brain will be overcome by whatever is killing you, you won't know the actual moment when it comes.

It depends on what will cause death. I hope to lose consciousness before I die. I have suffered enough in life and I do not want to suffer before I die. You will not know until you try. I think I will be a little scared and at the same time I will feel happy. Because I will know that most likely this terrible path called "life" will soon end

Your brain doesn't process unconsciousness , so the best comparison is like being asleep but not dreaming.

I remember reading a story a while back on this guy who "died" for five minutes and was resuscitated he said it was like an experience of "nothingness" like when you are sleeping but with no dreams and no breathing of course

It always depends on the type of death. In a head-on collision with a train at 200 km/h, you barely feel the blast of air before impact. Drowning or sodium nitrite are a different story entirely.

at my last attempt i lost consciousness. up until that moment, i didn't feel scared or afraid. i knew though if i closed my eyes i wouldn't wake back up. i got incredibly tired as the minutes past by. when i lost consciousness, i didn't feel it , it just came over me. as others in the thread said, it felt like sleeping without dreams. there was nothing, no emotions, no dreams, no thoughts, it was just empty.

Thank you for sharing that very descriptive. I could see it

Do you think that sodium nitrite would be a painful or unpleasant way to go?
