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.

"The sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent" bro am *_I_* dying?
Yes. We're all dying, just at very different rates.

It's strange how the brain tries so hard not to die, but when it realizes it is happening it tries to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
Exactly! We’re all secretly super smart❤
well put.
How is it strange that the brain tries hard not to die?
@@MangyPL I think the point was how the brain flips the switch to quickly
Why is that Strange?? It makes perfect sense.
Nothing like a nice existential crisis before heading to bed.

Oh you too? 😂
That's something not to think about
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.
Sorry for your loss. I was with my dog best friend when he fitted multiple times and eventually had to be put to sleep, and I rememeber the final release of breath and relaxation of his body. I was so heartbroken but so glad he got to rest finally. Still hard to cope with right now.
Sorry for your loss 😢
I have lost few cats and few dogs. I know how it feels like.
What a lovely peaceful passing, lying, so loved, in the arms of his best friend. Bless his darling heart - I know he is so grateful for the life you gave him, and is waiting eagerly for you. He’ll be the first to greet you when you cross! ❤️
@@karianickshame on you. No compassion. It must suck to be you.
My sister nearly died from anaphylaxis when she was 12. She said she felt very peaceful, there was no pain, and she didn't feel any grief about dying so young, just happy that she'd had a good life.
I'm so glad she didn't die, she's one of my favourite people ever ❤
Glad for her and you :)

@@NightmareRex6what is bro yapping about
@@NightmareRex6Wtf were you trying to say?
@@IAlsoPlayKsp little buddy forgot to take his adhd meds and watched this video with the SCP website opened in another tab
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.
It depends a lot from person to person. I had a really good conversation with my mother the day before she died; where as the weeks before she was hardly conscious, this day she was very lucid and clear.
@LindaJuffermans It's interesting how often this happens. My aunt, my father, and others in a nursing home have all had a lucid episode before passing. It was a, have something you forgot or haven't said yet, now the time.
I remember the day before my grandfather died I went to visit him and he sat in his chair, trying to do something on his phone. I helped him with that and i could tell he really enjoyed that moment. After that we had a long conversation, he talked quite slow at this point though. It still amazes me how much awareness he still had just a few hours before he passed.
My mum is a palliative personal carer which means she's been with many people right to the very end
The dying process is draw out for some people, but for others it can be in a flash
She told me a story of an old lady who was dying. The driver was inserted which means she only had a couple of days to live maximum, but her son was travelling from Australia to the UK to say his goodbyes
She held out until he arrived, but died pretty much 30 mins after she saw his face
@@po72644 My grandma held on for nearly a week after she was told that her sibling, daughter (my mom) and I were coming for a visit later in the week after learning she wasn't doing well at all. She died less than an hour after we arrived, after we'd shared how we're doing and just chatted with her and each other.
Weird how sheer will can keep people hanging on for just a little longer even after their bodies are ready to let go.
I died from a Heart Attack...it was my third one. As soon as my heart stopped, there is no pain. It was the most perfect feeling! When the Doctors finally got my heart going again (After a couple of minutes - I was told later) all the pain came back. I've since had two more; I guess it's not my time yet.
You're here for a reason brotha!
You are really lucky, you lived even after events that couldve caused death
Good luck man.
i laughed out loud reading this before finding out it was all unironic
Your feeling was alive even when your heart stopped working?
First of all, YOU ARE WAY TOO YOUNG TO THINK ABOUT DYING! Great video & spot on. I am 71, my parents, 4yr older sister, & my fraternal twin bros are all deceased. EVERYDAY, I wonder when its MY time. So many famous ppl are dying around my age. There are times I hit lows as u state. Dreams, experiences, etc. I just try to do the best I can, with what I have and let the chips fall where they may. I have lived my life. 👍✊️🖖❤️
PS. A person dying/or in a coma, can hear what u say. This is your chance to tell them how much u love them.😊😊
People can die as babies, people can live into 3 figures. Don’t wonder when it is your time! Enjoy your life!!! Best wishes ❤
I don't think that coma info is true lol.
@@TrTriTrippin Hard to verify, yeah. But it's still worth a shot, right? It can't possibly hurt if you tell someone on their deathbed how much you love them and that you look forward to seeing them again when it's your time. And it might give you some closure if you say all the things you regret not saying earlier. (Should probably try not to say anything that'll make it more stressful in the even that they CAN hear you, though.)
That's what the nurses say when you're visiting them in the hospital. Idk if it's just to comfort the family/friends, but you would think it would be unethical to lie about something like that @@TrTriTrippin
death can happen at any time, she dont mind ur age, so much people have die around me since im a kid.
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.
Woah! That is intense! May I ask if you believe in God?
@77pax
❤ Glad you are still here
Well said 👌
cool starry bra
That’s mind blowing. I can never explain the type of dreams that I have , its like a weird comforting feeling around everything you see , when you wake up it makes you wanna go back.
“…the sleep is no longer rejuvenating…”. I’ve been dying for decades now.
Me 2.
😭
this.
Aye. Me too!
Same
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.
sorry for your lose hope your doing good
@@IndigoParrott Thanks. It's been rough.
Sorry for your loss ,actually she had to start her own new life by the way of death
Sorry for your loss. I’m glad you were there for her till the end. You’re a really strong person
@@RhythmGetSome Thank you.
Remember watching your channel in high school......over a decade ago! Wow! Yall are going STRONG!
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.
Yeah it’s actually quite common. I hear that all the time.
Yeah, that happened with my grandma when she had cancer. She was bed ridden and slept 23 hours a day for a few weeks, and then suddenly woke up, full of energy, requested a decent meal, chatted with the nurses, doctors, and family who were there, and then 2 days later she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Do you have any theories? Maybe a sort of surrender to the process?
@@andrewhooper7603I think it is the body's last hurrah. Our bodies will fight tooth and nail to survive. Even though we're dying, the brain hasn't accepted this, thus releasing chemicals in a last ditch effort for a rally.
Maybe he didn't mention it because it's rare
“Knowing they were dying, but felt like they were going home”
Wow..
You do go home. God says it. That we will return to dirt when we pass away. So, we do go back home.
In way I suppose that's what's happening ( not getting into the religious side of if) they are returning back to where they came from before the time of thier birth.
If that’s not Jesus welcoming you to heaven I don’t know what is.
Yeah it was dark but it was colorful at first then I felt like I was going somewhere good and I couldn't leave my daughter here alone
God says, that we turn back to dirt (return home).
This video was posted 5 days before my dad passed and now im watching it 5 days after. I wish I had seen this video sooner but luckily RUclips has some genuinely great videos on this subject. I’m happy to say most of this video is familiar to what I had already researched but I’m still glad I watched it. Thanks guys, been watching your channel for many years ❤️
Excellent. When it’s my time, I look forward to the experience and the journey.
My wife passed from cancer in 2009 and was on a morphine drip the last 2 weeks.
When her best friend from her childhood walked in the room and was talking in the room my wife heard her and started talking back a little so we knew she could hear us at that point.
She did eventually start that horrible breathing sound.
She passed on January 30, 2009.
R.I.P Randi Whittington
I'm very sorry you had to experience that brother
Sorry for your loss.
What horrible breathing sound, may I ask
My condolences to you and your family.
My condolences.
I recently watched my father die. He was in a twilight for about a month before he passed. He was just transferred to a hospice center from the hospital and they gave a call to my family saying his vitals aren’t looking good, if you want to be with him when he goes, come now. I’ve never drove so fast, probably would have went to jail if caught. Sat with him and my mom for 6 hours until my sister arrived after her drive from her college. He waited until surrounded by his family. His eyes were closed most of the time I was there but he looked me straight in the eyes as he took his final breath. Seeing this vid gives me a lot of comfort.
What an honour mate! Beautiful to hear
Sorry to hear that, went through something similar with my Dad earlier this year. Hope your well
Sorry to hear that, was very similar when my grandma passed. I feel it's one of the things you never really get over, at least I haven't.
I'm glad this video gave you comfort. I'm sorry about your father, but I hope that your final moments together, especially with the info from this vid in mind, give you solace and resolution. Best Wishes!
My mom did the same thing to me back in 2011; eyes closed until the last moment when she looked right at me with a serene look on her face, then drifted away. I felt a lot more at ease about dying after that.
And yeah, I drove like a maniac to get there, too. Glad we’re not bunk mates in the slammer. 😂
I died a bit when i got shot. It was okay. Im alive now and certainly do not fear death, but am usually happy i get to continue to experience life, even though others have a habit of making it less than desirable at times.
You are amazing. Thank you for this video. I watched my dad die 20 years ago and I feel much better knowing he wasn't in pain, and I'm also less scared about dying after watching your video.
I put off watching this, because i have severe death anxiety, but this was very comforting. Thank you
I’m literally 21 seconds into this video and the thought of my brain turning off sent me into a flight or fight mode and I got really scared and I had to stop watching 😭 death anxiety has to be one of the most scariest things in the world there’s no comfort you know it’ll happen but you don’t want it to atleast not at this time which is why it’s so nerve wracking ugh!
@@scoobsydoo my exact issues. It's not like other fears, where it'll never happen. It must happen to complete our life cycle. It sounds like there might be more to life after this though, which to me is all I want
@@scoobsydoo Damn so I was not the only one. I literally felt like blood sugar dropping, feeling like I might pass out if this got worse. But the video was still very interesting
"death anxiety" Sounds like you're super egotistical. Like you're so great and important that you think you should just live forever. Just keep eating animals and all that. And occam's razor suggests that there is nothing after this. Why is it so hard for people to believe or accept that our consciousness ends with our bodies? If I lose my seeing organ, I can no longer see. If I lose my hearing organ, I can no longer hear. So what should happen if I lose my thinking organ? I ascend to a higher realm? Give me a break lmao.
Welp, hope you guys live long. 😐
Well that was oddly hopeful and reassuring
I encourage you to look up Sam Parnia's work.
How so? Sounds like the worst thing I could possibly think of!
@@Gerickmb Would suffering before death be preferable?
@@nepsyasudra3262 that doesn’t really matter to me. Peace or pain. It’s the eternal nothing that bothers me the most!
@@Gerickmbi mean hey at least you won't be conscious for it
Thank you for making this video.
Love your channel! Following for SO many years! ❤
Damn... "feeling like home" made me want to cry, not only because it's so affirming, but also because it makes sense. What happened before our birth is unknown, and what happens after our death is too. It's like we've all been there, and will all return at some point. I hope it's a beautiful place full of peace.
According to tons of NDEs and even some doctors, it’s most likely a place full of peace. And yeah I agree, nobody knows what was before our birth and after death, but both sure feel like a place of belonging and home
Probably doesn't feel like anything, like it did(n't) before we were born. I guess you can call that peace
So true
@@itshuzzah Just like before the universe? There was and never will be “nothing”
@@emilz0r Again, we don’t know what was before birth, doesn’t mean it was nothingness.
Step 2's sleep not being rejuvenating and constant fatigue sounds awfully like what day to day life feels like 😅

Yeah, that bit hit me a lil weird, since I have a chronic pain condition, and sometimes need to sleep for a full 24 hour day when my energy is low enough and the fog is bad enough.
literally though
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. R.I.P cousin I'll never forget you.
Bit out of nowhere, but I would like to thank the two of you for being one of my biggest inspirations. I stumbled upon this video, and I recognized this channel and voice immediately. I have watched your videoes since I was 12 (almost 21) now, and I haven’t seen your channel pop up on my recommended in a long time. And to say I wouldn’t be studying 1st semester in medicine without this channel would be a lie. So truly, from the bottom of my heart: thank you
Thanks for the existential crisis.
Yes. The video is extraordinarily presumptive. Like anyone knows what it's like to drown in your own saliva!
There are two types of people:
"This made me feel really comforted, actually. Thank you"
"Thanks for the existential crisis."
@@techleontius9161Those are comments
@@kryptoid2568 and what's wrong with that?
@@techleontius9161 digital rights
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 think this entirely depends on the environment you are in when you are dying. When I was 9 my Mom and I were hit by a drunk driver and the only thing I can remember is the gurgling sounds my Mom was making before she died and as I was bleeding the only thing I could think of were those sounds and immense sadness as I tried to cry when I closed my eyes
I had a similar experience! I was 10 and choking. I was very panicked, realised I was going to die, then felt the most peaceful feeling, and in my head I went “oh well” because nothing had to matter anymore, there were no worries or burdens.
Sp no going into the matrix and breaking the code when you die I guess

@@DEVIL_HIMSELF_ ye sure we can always hear more fun times ^_^
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.
This is actually comforting.
I haven't been afraid of death...ever...though i admit that i was always kind of worried about the actual process. I read once that when you are experiencing death sometimes you'll see your life flash before your eyes. someone said "in situations of stress, your brain will try and find a similar thing you may have experienced in the past to help put you at ease, but when you're dying and since you've never died before, your brain flips through your memories like a rolodex looking for a something that you can relate to". The human brain is fascinating.
Said my brain.
I'm not a Rat... I'm HUMAN. The Light is a portal, we never Die, we transform into another dimension to continue our lives.
@@user-ne3yw2cu6c This guy really believes in an afterlife LMAO
That's a cool theory. Makes sense to me.
and since there is nothing ou can relate to as compared to death, the flipping goes on and on in a vain search
Ha Ha rolodex...showing your age
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.
Thank you for sharing this, it was so interesting to read and was super comforting to hear the end of your story 😊
SJS is such a terrifying thing to have! Especially given that the mortality rate for SJS is very high!
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.
very well weritten. Thank you for sharing!
I feel that now my thoughts about death has changed after seeing multiple people saying they felt no pain, and it makes me feel better to know that the people in my life who have passed away felt little pain when they did die
mising out on life, really? The world has gone to shit, you shouldn't miss it at all. We failed as species and society
your insights were exactly what i needed today!
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.
Your faith that she would wake up healed her
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.
Its scary thinking that one day we just wont exist anymore
I don't know why I have no desire to live forever. I'm fine with going back into the earth and eventually being forgotten about. In the grand scheme of things, I'm really not that important and my death is inevitable. Sorry of that sounds depressing, but it's the truth of life.
Perhaps it gives us more incentive to be kind and live while we're alive.
Nate is Lame has a great video on this it helped me a lot. Plumwax also has a good one, using Alan Watts quotes but making it dumb enough that the blow is softer.
Scary for some, comforting for others
I mean, technically we don't *know* whether we'll completely cease to exist or go on to something else. Until we go through it ourselves, oblivion is just as speculative as any afterlife
@@stokerbramwell yeah that's true. I think I just return to the earth and bugs and bacteria eat me. Plants grow. Animals eat that. So kinda like reincarnation without the religious attachments. My energy isn't destroyed but recycled.
I'm 76 years old and not too long ago experienced a heart attack. It was very painful but once the paramedics came and gave me Nitro and Aspirin the pain subsided and I began to feel very relaxed and comforted that my life was over and I could now relax. I hope you do well and find peace.
You were high.
@@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger You don't get high on aspirin and Nitro. Trust me, I was there.😁
We're you on any heart medication? If not, do u do annual spots with your PCP?
@@carlcat They must've given you something else as well.
@@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger While in the ambulance I asked them what did they give me and they said Nitro and Aspirin. Keep in mind they're not doctors and need to limit medication so as not to give me something that would conflict with another medication given at the hospital that could save my life.
You have given me a sense of relief and peace following my Mum's death a few months ago (sudden cardiac arrest - she was alone at home when it happened and found about an hour after).
Knowing she was likely relaxed and possibly had a sense of going home makes all the difference. I hope so much that that was the case.
Thank you so much for this video!
This helps me better understand what my father was experiencing his las few days in hospice due to cancer. He was asleep the last two final days until he passed. Thanl you, I feel better knowing he wasn't in pain, and I can only hope he was dreaming of all the good times we all had together as a family. I miss you a lot dad. RIP
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
Holy shit, I'm so sorry. I hope your dad doesn't have to suffer that pain anymore. It's ridiculous that the healthcare system wouldn't allow your father a peaceful death. I hope you and your family are doing okay with the loss.
@@patchesheadphones3570 As Noname said they weren't legally allowed to administer morphine at home. This is an issue of state laws. There are other pain killers that can be given at home but not everyone is responsive to them.
That’s awful. Depending on the state, at home hospice definitely has a morphine option as long as staff is there to administer it. 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. Do I need to explain any further?” It never came to that, but they’re not unaware of the situation.
@@modelcitizen1977 We had hospice nurses for my sister-in-law. They weren't allowed to give her "too much" pain killer but they were able to stop feeding her (at her request). She wasn't in any more pain but it did take over a week. Eventually her body shut down without food.
My brother was in a hospital in another state. When the end was very near, the nurses were able to keep increasing his morphine until he succumbed.
Yes, my grandpa's last word as he died was "help!" I'm so glad I wasn't there for that.
This made me feel really comforted, actually. Thank you
comforted how? it sounds absolutely terrifying
I remember walking in on my grandmother when she had that "death rattle". She succumbed to metastasized breast cancer. I was 10 at the time. I still remember how I felt that day till now, but by the grace of God, my son was born the same day that she died, 20 yrs later. Now I feel joy as opposed to pain whenever that day rolls around, all thanks to my little guy.
Well done, never seen this information ANY where else.
Thank you for having the courage to make these videos.
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.
Sounds like he was an amazing young man. Thanks for sharing a bit of his memory with us ❤
Sir--crying is nothing to be ashamed of--by gender or by age. As my doctor said--it's a natural stress-relieving response. Certainly better to do that than punch walls--I almost broke a knuckle! But also--thank you for sharing/I hope it helped some.
thank you for being there for your child. it is harder than turning away and letting it happen without you there
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no doubt you will always mourn. God bless you.
Love to you.
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.
Think you hit the nail on the head mate! 👍
I do hope you're right about enjoying what comes next. Unfortunately there seems to be no empirical evidence to support the idea of an afterlife. For all we know, death is truly the end. I really wish it wasn't though, I like the idea of living on in some other realm and being able to reconnect with loved ones who have passed away.
JESUS told that theif that "today, you will be with me in Paradise!"
Thank you so much. One of my best friends died 2 weeks ago from adolescent bone cancer. I’m glad I have some sort of understanding now.
Fun presentation 💀 You’re very talented with the illustration!
I had a near death experience. I was assaulted and suffered a blow to my head. However, the moment of the blow I felt 0 pain. i went unconscious. everything went black. i felt myself sinking into a relax state and slowly switching off. i remember telling myself. ' death,feels lonely, I know I will switch off soon into nothingness... Then soon after I seen a BRIGHT LIGHT ! my religious programming made me think ? GOD is this you ?. it was the bright lights from the operating table and the skilled doctors & nurses saving my life ! My brain had swollen out,and I had lost my hearing and unable to walk for 2 years. But @ least I didn't die ! I got another chance to fulfill some more dreams & goals !
Omg you should do a RUclips video on your recovery process. I’m serious this can help and instill hope for people going through similar long term recovery like you had to go through
Damn bro what a story !
@@aloko2544 I never fully recovered but @ least I didn't die @ earlier age. Thanks for the comment 👍
Can you walk again?
@@paulseblano2761 yes. The first year it was difficult. Second year I relearnt how to cycle bike. I can now walk & cycle. The permanent disability issues i have are a constant head tremors, PTSD and permanent deafness in one ear 👂with constant tinnitus. 😑 I manage. It could have been worse.
I just recently watched my grandpa die. This video actually brought me some peace. Thank you ❤️
lol
im now in the same situation with my granma and i feel the same
@@JustStampTheTicketGuy hahaha
I was with my Grandfather when he passed, and we went through all of this as well.
Let me take a moment to say, I saw him as clear as day about a week after he passed. At the same time, I saw a strange look on my mother's face, and I asked if she was ok, she said her father had just said "Everything is going to be ok" into her ear by which I saw him standing.
I've shared this story with lots of other people who have also seen family members after they passed.
I don't know what it means, but it does give me a little comfort.
@@t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334 bait or evil
This comment section feels so real. Thank you for the content. My grandfather died some months ago, I now can look back at what he went through. I was with him almost everyday till the end and he always talked about dreaming about the past and "going home". I hope he is.
Literally explaining God making this enjoyable for us humans
Who knew the random recommended ASAP science I clicked on this afternoon would bring me much needed comfort. The best dog I ever had passed away november of 2020 in my arms from cancer that went undetected until her last day. It was so unexpected that euthanasia wasn't an option, there was no time. Her last breaths haunted me, it was very disturbing to watch her gasp for air and I always look back wishing i couldve done something different. To know that there was a possibility she wasn't suffering gasping for air brings me so much comfort. Thanks, guys!
Its peaceful
I almost drowned twice. If I can recall correctly, while you're gasping for Oxygen, panicking and thrashing about in the water, it's thrilling and scary. But the moment the thought of "death" comes to mind, the o2 deprived brain turns tranquil, and peaceful
@@adityasharma2870 I almost drowned when I was seven years old, the same thing happened to me. I had the realization that my life was over, and then I felt calm about it.
@@adityasharma2870I almost drowned as a child and remember holding onto the side of the pool and then sitting on the deck while my mother yelled at me. Nothing in between.
Ah yes, exactly the video you need at 2 AM.
Also, "How dying feels like" reminds me of ruclips.net/video/5Fed7gDrnJk/видео.html
Yes. Cheered me right up 😰
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. U can DucKing say that again !!!!!!
I'm Just in my damn bed thinking happy thoughts waiting for the weekend and get this at night 😂
Ahh I see it’s on purpose cuz different times zones for me lol but same
Funnily enough, I’m watching this at 230am in my own time zone. Though I work at night, so this is normal for me
3:55 for fml
Thanks for this video. :)
Bro I was so scared of death but when I hear this makes me so much better ❤
My neighbour died last year in June and I saw him the last few days before he went. I live in a shared accommadation so we had a shared kitchen and he told me he had a bowel issue, pneumonia (at Christmas) and another problem (the swelling in his legs). 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.

I watched my mom die. I saw this video at 11:11. I’m a medical provider, very clinical, but have never been able to come to terms with watching her die. I feel she led me to this video to help me understand.
I’m very sorry about your mom. This doesn’t compare to losing your mother. But I was just telling my gf how I bag up pets that we put down and it’s very hard knowing it’s someone’s loved one. There are special clients, owners that we’ve seen over the years and those do hurt. But none of that prepared me for when I had to put my first pet down. Crazy how even when they’re at rest the universe helps us connect to our loved ones. Que descanse en paz.

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.
Thank you -- this is very interesting.
My grandpa passed away on the 30th last month, so this video brought some clarity and peace of mind for me. Thank you for always educating us
after reading those comment section i am extremly sorry for what u guys have to gone though or watched ur loved one in those situation . I hope those souls could rest in peace. And people who survived im happy for u also man enjoy ur life u r lucky and spend time. You never know when ur time came in
Sometimes you're here today and gone tomorrow...👌🏼💯✔️
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. ❤
This is EXACTLY what I've been going through for the past 6 months. I'm only 24, and I wonder how I'll cope as I grow older. 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.
Search ayahuasca and learn about it. Also look for Ian Stevenson and his work. I’m not sharing this and asking you to believe what I say. I believe there is something beyond us and ofc does not include religion.
32 and same story
Believe in god. It will help. It helped me. I had the exact same thoughts as you.
Here's some things to help you believing some sort of higher power (aka god) is real. (I'm agnostic and semi theist).:
Ppl tell u abt the big bang. It came from a singularity. Well, there the hell did the singularity come from? Someone must've created it. Guess what? That's god.
Trust me, it helps knowing theres life after death. Hope this helps.
honestly I struggle as well. Believing in something will help. If you believe there is nothing after, you are a lost soul ... it will drive you nuts. How do I know? I've been there and back. I didn't believe in anything and my life was empty.
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 ...
The world is maddness rn
I once read somewhere that upon dying, your brain floods itself with DMT. I dont know if it's true, but it's made me feel a lot better about the process
I'm sorry to break it to you but is a popular hoax. It is not scientific.
Yeah apparently dying is the best feeling ever, my dad has had dmt before and he had a near death experience, said it was like dmt but better, felt all his old beautiful memories, I look forward to die of old age but I'm still very scared about not living...
I'm glad someone finally mentioned this. As someone who's tried it a couple times & also had a near death experience from drowning...
Things come together in a way like never before, impossible to truly explain but it's almost like there's a voice in your soul saying "welcome back" 🌀🫶🧬
Sounds great - kind of cozy and relax 😌 can't wait
My mother died in a memory care facility during the Covid shutdown. Long story short, I had to make less than ideal choices at the time and I struggled with guilt for a while. Her refusal to eat was one of the first signs her time was coming. I knew people who suggested feeding tubes, but others who understood. I don't know, there was just something comforting about seeing this video today and recognizing some things as normal. Thanks.
just what i wanted to watch before bed tonight
Same here 😂
I know right 😮
Welcome to the party pal
same lol 😂😂😂
Me too
I love seeing content like this that seeks to demystify death, I feel like there's been a trend lately of seeing more of it around and I'm so here for it! I'm a long-time fan of Caitlin Doughty and her Ask a Mortician series, and I recently came across Hospice Nurse Julie who spoke about a lot of the same things in this video from the perspective of what it's like to sit vigil for a dying person.
I think knowing what it's like, knowing what happens to your body during and afterward, knowing what your wishes would be for your remains... it all helps with finding peace around death.
Great video, I remembered when my mom was dying she complained about extreme fatigue no matter how many hrs she slept
I just turned 40, and I love your suggestions. I'm guilty of wearing my skinny jeans with Converse or my Hunter rain boots when the weather is poor. I'm 5'8 and 125 lbs. My weight hasn't changed since high school. When you mentioned that, I was thinking, umm. I definitely do not exercise, I do get botox and fillers. Tretinoin is my best friend along with unseen sunscreen!!! This is my first visit to your channel, and I love it!!!
You have a lot of courage to explore this topic. Thank you.
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’ll be 40 this year and this video was really needed as my midlife crisis has pushed in some weird, EXTRA “awareness” that it’s DEFINITELY going to happen! It trips me TF out n I get a lil anxious but more so I question the point of it all n the purpose!! Getting Older really F n sucks man, smfh
Fascinating! Thank you.
As someone whose grandpa died a few days ago. He showed all these steps before dying. Thank you for the info
My grandmother died on the 15th and she was very peaceful and her breath just got shallower and fewer until her last xx
1) relaxation
2) extreme fatigue and unconsciousness
3) seeing light
4) scary breathing
*Really like the channel's content*
I always found death surreal and fascinating... and not for messed up ways one may think. 😥
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.
Live as long and meanigful as you can so that you do not fear death when it comes much much later in life as it should. ❤️
I watched my father die and the death rattle was the worst part. Its nice to know he was actually in no pain. Miss him ❤
Witnessed the same...my father passed away 4 months ago and this was comforting...oh, Dad 😥🕯
I always liked Alan Watt’s spoken lectures. They helped me with my death anxiety.
Dying can be a wonderful experience. Like falling asleep and deep lucid dreams escaping to beautiful surroundings. You'll accept death when you feel the incredible power of imminence and the humility of being human. You'll see for a moment life - life is a beautiful thing people waste on trivial nothings. You''ll see the fragility of frailness of life you've not appreciated. How special that moment is but, just for a moment of timelessness and freedom never before experienced. You wish this is forever.
The darkness closing in feeling the walls of emptiness and void. Your beautiful dreams fade into a tiny blue and green dot. Wind blown waves of green grass on a hillside feeling each blade every precious breath. Sparkling bluest skies beyond … anything: seeing into forever. Sitting in a darkened theater as the movie ends and your are the last to leave. Watching yourself when the brief moment of clarity, forgiveness and love fades into nothing. Understanding. Darkness surrounds your essence, your soul drifts away as the acceptance of inevitability replacing your last hope. You've transcended into the void, crossed over to the end. Everyone is waiting.
Your memory will be lost in one generation. Beyond your children, nothing but a genealogy entry. Another line or the last in line. (last line) Dead blood line.
Thank you so much for making this video. I watched my Dad pass away January 12th, 2024 I won't go into what I witnessed, but it was very traumatizing for me. This video really helped me understand what he went through, and helped with the continued grieving process I am going through. You all are awesome, keep the great content coming.
I watched many videos about this topic but yours is the best, and is straight to the point. Thank you :)
Woah this sounds like a pleasant last trip on psychedelics... but it's actually you trippin on you for the last time.
Thank you for this - my curiosity got the better of my fear
Watching this exhausted even after sleeping 24 hours.
"My time has come"
No one needs 24 hours of sleep tho lol.
I work in a care home & have seen more death working there in three months than in my entire life. It’s great to know that the people who passed were at peace. Thank you so much ❤
u guys help keeping that peace for them , thank u
Kind of weird this video came out the week my grandma died. I'm not joking. LITERALLY THE WEEK SHE DIED!
Having happened twice before, I can confirm I do not want to return from the peace and pain free tranquility a third time.
I was aware of what was happening, who was there, what was being said and done. Yet, I wasn't afraid or worried. I was at a level of calm I had never felt before. The second time was the same as the first, a complete cessation of pain and an abundance of pleasant calm that might be close to what you'd feel going back in time to relive a precious memory with a loved one, one last time.
There was no ill feeling of what might be lost, i.e., connection to friends, loved ones and life. Just completely blissful peace. A close friend, upon finding out he was months away from dying, told me, "Only the living truly feel the loss." It took me until event to realize just how right he was.
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
I just read a book that kindaaaaaaa explored this idea with a story where Sleep and Death are brothers, and I wish the author would’ve gone more in depth with it! The pacing was a bit clumsy but if anyone is interested the book was Nocturne by Alyssa Wees.
@@TheLordsCanary omg! i'll check that out thank u!
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
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.
@@gwynethpearson8870yes, most evolutionary traits are based on what causes offspring.
Yes this is exactly what I needed during an existential crisis 😃
Something that somewhat calmed me down when I was having an existential crisis about death,
was thinking that everyone, my friends, all the people I know, the people I put on a pedestal, we all go through the same thing
In union, a feeling of togetherness and closeness, like they're gonna go through it too
But I don't know if thinking that was more effective when you yourself came to the thought instead of being told it,
or if an existential crisis is something that you just have to wait out after all
Don't worry, you were "dead" for the last 13.5 billion years before you were born.. So you allredy know how it is, kinda
@@domri4517 I mean, there is also reincarnation, pre-existence, and not just “nothingness” that gives a view of what happened before we were born
@@justaguy2183 oh yes... i mean, that sounds a bit nicer and more hopeful 😅
When I was 14 I choked on a corndog and found out that life flashing before your eyes wasn't just a turn of phrase, but something that actually happens. Literally every memory I had played back in my head in a matter of moments. The human brain is fascinating.
I've been lying on a bed of stone.
I've been dying all alone.
I pray for the power to turn it around.
I'm too old to die young,
And too young to die now.

I am VERY afraid of the dying experience to the point I am having panic attacks. This video really helped me calm down about it a little bit. Thank you ❤
Me too. I didn't have a real fear of dying until I got some health problems. It wasn't anything life threatening, but something has changed, and know I'm afraid of heart attacks, severe allergies, asthma, and anything that may kill me in minutes. I hate feeling this way.
I had at least two panic attacks per month last year and this year still continues. So I take medication, but because of them I developed health anxiety ... it is awful, you are not alone.
It's ok. We are all going to experience it someday. Everyone alive today will pass through life within 150 years (barring technological advancements), so know that you're not alone in this experience.
This is the miracle of death, in how it comes to us and takes us whether we feel like we can handle it or not. Just as life has a way of working itself out, I think death does too.
Thank you. This was really comforting.
