What People Think About Before Dying:
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.

Thank you, i might try attempt this someday 😁
My near death experience was the most peaceful thing I've ever experienced. No physical pain, no mental or emotional pain. I see it as mercy from God…
I’m not scared. I can’t wait. I’m so fking done with this bs life.
Now what is it like when DEAD
I Just Become A Ghost
How can you say what it feels like if you have not experienced it
Im watching this because i saw my classmate watching Gore
Me sitting here worried because I’ve had all those dreams and dealing with extreme fatigue 🫥
No but like every day im more concerned about how death feels like endless darkness
why is rat getting experimented 😭 for everything
There is not such a thing as unconsciousness. It’s easy to conflate it with no memory formation but that doesn’t mean unconsciousness
It’s interesting of many experiences mentioned how “peaceful dying is” but shortly that feeling has to be experienced somehow. So what and where is the subject that experience that peace when dying? Oblivion is not peaceful, nor it’s dreadful. It simply isn’t a thing. But peacefulness is different. It has to be experienced. Even people describing “there was nothing it was all black”, well that also has to be experienced
I always imagined that dying must feel like the moment you start to become unconscious when you faint
I worry about this because I have a degenerative neurological disorder, and I'm 40… My life hasn't been great. I've been in abusive relationships most of my life, and was only recently diagnosed with autism. Part of the neuro-degeneration causes very, very severe depression, agitation, then a guilt phase. I wonder how or if it differs. I feel it would be difficult to reconcile your life while dying when you haven't been able to while alive.
How do I become a professional at dying?
I am scared…
I spent more time reading all your comments. So insightful
I've died before, twice. It was just like going to sleep, and then being revived was like waking from a dreamless sleep. For the 7 minutes my brain wasn't functioning I just ceased to exist.
Thank you, very reassuring
I am not scared of dying. I want it .I welcome it .
And because I love my life,I know I shall love death as well.
Im dieing of copd i wish i had more time
I know exactly what dying feels like.
I've died twice as a result of a widow maker heart attack.
My experiences were nothing like what is described in this video.
At home, I experienced two hours of rapidly increasing chest pain, severe weakness, being told by my wife that there was nothing wrong with me as she stood over me as I was lying on the bathroom floor, with me then having to rely on my very poorly working fingers to call 911 by myself.
As EMTs finally arrived, the pain kept increasing.
I was in V-Fib.
Moments after arrival at the hospital ER, I then felt about one second of woozy euphoria before dropping into complete unconsciousness and checking out from Earth for the first time.
After an interminable amount of time, I then went through what felt like an eternity of a horrifying dawning of consciousness as I was brutally resuscitated with CPR and defibrillation being applied to my corpse, accompanied by a roomful of medical personnel screaming at me to "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP".
A few minutes later, another brief moment of woozy euphoria followed by death repeated in the catheterization lab, followed by the same scenario as above.
I wouldn't wish CPR to be performed on anyone.
CPR should be banned.
Before those events, I had no particular fear of death.
Now, knowing how horrific it can be, I'm terrified.
I have a DNR in place to hopefully prevent another resuscitation attempt.
I still have to check out once again, though.
The chances are good that it'll once again be a horrifying ordeal.
Now i wanna see what you see when you die.
Honestly how would YOU know unless you died???
Bro tryna spoil the ending
Excersise in the outdoors is very good for brain, because it's raining I did some doom scrolling and got here.😮
If you think this life is difficult, the afterlife is guaranteed to be a lot worse—in Hell—according to the Bible, which has been 100% right. But the good news is that God loves you and has prepared a place for you in Heaven. However, this is only available if you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. This means starting a personal relationship with Him. We are all created by God, but only those who have a relationship with Him are children of God. When a child of God leaves this world, they enter the Kingdom of God. I pray you start your relationship with God soon. Your salvation is not only guaranteed, but the rest of your life on Earth will have true purpose as you live for Him.
God is Good Amen 🙏🏼
Death is like before we are born.
I wanna die while running
I'm relaxed, not hungry and not thirsty. Am I going to die?
I saw Tommy Cooper die 💀 on stage on live British 🇬🇧 TV 📺- his “snore”- a death rattle being “a joke” for the audience!
(Doing stupid/ unpredictable things was always part of his act. To find we’d actually watched him dying was truly horrific).
How does bro know
I HAVE ALL THOSE SIGNS.
So I almost flatlined in the ER. All I really remember about it was a bunch of doctors/nurses flooding the room. One particular doctor kept asking me questions/talking to me. I was confused and extremely sleepy. I do remember having a hard time answering the questions. The other instance I had, I did a face plant from 2.5 stories in the air. I do not remember any of it. I woke up in the arms of a medic, rolled over to my side heaved up a bunch of blood then passed back out. After that I would pass out and wake up on the way to the hospital. Never saw any lights, no dreams or anything like that. Both times were peaceful for me, including the accident despite all the chaos of medical care. I had 0 care in the world about what was happening around me. The pain wasn't registering either, it was almost like my brain went into protection mode and said we are not going to process pain right now.
It’s beautiful.. I felt myself floating to the sky
Similar to DMT you say hmmm
Did they tell u this after they passed … smh
What about suic*de I hope it's the same as suic*de
This video helped. when we get old i think the way we think about dying will be different from what we think today, maybe we look forward to it, and it seems cool to experience it being relaxed and relive happy moments
