While I am terrified to die, I am a little  more than curious about what happens(if anything),after you die. My brain cannot grasp the fact that I am going to die, that is just bizarre!   I am so not ready.

Well every time I am about to die, I just start thinking about something stupid or something. Like when I felt out of a raft and was drowning in the rapids with the boat holding me under I was thinking "why doesn't that stupid ass photographer drop her damn camera and rescue me. What a broad" and when I was about to die in the woods on a 4 wheeler I was thinking " Put your head down. Oh no Zo and erik are going to die and you are going to be all alone!" I dont think that you really have time to analyze your life in situations like that.

A spider damn near killed me. I was nineteen, and had gone from being super-fit, to contracting rheumatic fever that made me seriously ill, not too far from pegging out.  About two weeks after, still house-bound, I managed to stagger down the stairs to the bathroom, feeling very ill, with a slow, weak pulse and very low blood-pressure.  I wanted to use the toilet, but first wanted to splash my face and rinse my mouth.  I leant over the basin, and WAAAAH! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING! My heart rate jumped to about 200beats a minute, instantly, I staggered, felt a terrible chest pain, and fell over backwards, hitting my head on the wall. Nice.\n  Another time, in Australia, getting some tables out of a friends garage, my eyes were struggling in the gloom with what appeared to be eight-fingered Workman's gloves, slowly moving on the floor... HOLY CRAP THEY'RE ALIVE!!! I was out of there instantly.  They were Huntsman spiders, known for descending onto birds' nests in trees, and eating young chicks! Vile, leathery-bodied freaks that actually drag their centres around, they seem too big and heavy to actually walk on their legs.\nYuck!

I've never been close to death but one night I had a strange dream.  My dad is a police detective who works cold cases.  Now my dad is VERY good at his job but he often uses unorthodox methods.  Things he NEVER can share with his co workers because they might get him in serious trouble; such as consulting with his 13 yr old daughter (ME, daddy's little princess lol).\n\nAnyway one night daddy's princess was having a nightmare and she got up and went into her parents room for them to comfort her.  As I entered the room, my dad was putting on all his police stuff and getting ready to leave.  I asked him if he was called out but was very agitated and said he had to go.\n\nOk, we didnt see him for three days after that.  Of course he stayed in contact on his cell phone with my mom so she wouldnt worry about him.\n\nHe told me a few weeks later when I asked him about his dream that he dreamed a victim came to him in his sleep and told him things.  He said I was in the dream with her and that scared him a lot.  Anyway he solved that case in that three days he was gone and told me the things he learned in his dream led him to the bad guy.  \n\nHe wouldnt tell me any more cause it would be inappropriate and promise to never tell anyone.  My dad is considered very eccentric at work and only the women will agree to be his partner.  He didnt even tell his partner (a really nice woman, She comes over our house for dinner sometimes and she thinks my boyfriend Jamie is a super nice boy that's why I like her).

Hi Cobb! What a story you have. I'm glad you're ok now and that you have strong faith. I've never had a near death experience. I thank God all the time for the life I have.    Take care,   Sincerely

I WAS hit by a car once, when I was crossing a sidestreet on my bike.\n\nIt was a Dodge Ram 250 too, but I was miraculously saved, as the bumper only hit the handlebar and even though I went flying off the bike to the ground, I only received minor bumps and bruises and a short stay in the local hospital.\n\nEven more amazing (or at least for me), I went to work a few hours after that at the catering business I worked at.\n\nI actually have had 4 such experiences that I can remember, and maybe even more that I don't remember, but I agree with you that they have truly changed me, by making me much more cautious and appreciative of all the small things in life, and now I take almost nothing for granted.

My fiance and I were on our way to Reno to get married....Our best friends were in the car with us...\nWe got into a head on collision, and my fiance died 3 days later in the hospital.  So, looking back on it, when I seen him in the vehicle gasping for air after the wreck, I was actually watching him die..........\nGod Rest his soul! ! ! ! \nI hope you never have to witness anything like that in your lifetime.....\nGoodaytoyou !

Did you faint halfway through asking the question?

Should we be worried about you doing something to yourself, or do you have a health condition that might cause your death?\n\nIf you're considering suicide, PLEASE speak to someone.

I have also nearly died a bunch of times.\n\nI've spent a long time thinking about this and read a bunch of books. I'm not sure there is a real reason except to live happy and help others to live happy.\n\nIt sounds so simple and stupid, but we have to enjoy being alive (the near death expeirences were possible reminders that we took life for granted).\n\nTake extreme pleasure in the simple things. Freinds and family are all that really matter because money and all that other junk is just temporary.

No, but I've had a few that thought they had died and gone to heaven.

Life is near to death in every nation, not just underdeveloped countries.  Have you ever had to commute on the freeway?  Definitely a life and death struggle!

I watched a man die from a heart attack. He looked me in the eye and said "I'm going to die now, ain't I". I said something lame like "no you hang in there, help is on the way."  But I knew better as he was in so much pain and death seemed to hoover over him like an ominous cloud. Do you understand what I am saying, HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYES. I looked into the eyes of death. I tried to comfort him, and just as the paramedics arrived, he died holding my hand. I will never forget that night or that moment. I cried, and then I thanked God for life and vowed to get the most I could out of life before my time came. And I prayed that when my time did come that there would be someone to hold my hand.

Had a seizure one night, when I came out of it, could have sworn I had just died. Don`t know if anyone really believed me or not, nobody was home when it happened except me and the kids. I really felt like I had just been dead though.

Happened with me when I lay dying, I could understand from the doctors faces and their body language that they had given up. My wife held my hand, kissed me on my forehead and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."\nFour years later, I am still alive, only because of this strong woman's reassurance at every stage during my illness and recovery. And she never cried, never shed a tear at all in my presence or in my children's presence, always showing a brave, smiling face to us.\n\nAt one stage when my heart had stopped, and I found myself in a large open field with sunflowers, and I saw a bright warm and welcoming light towards which I was moving, until the doctors revived me, the first person I saw was my wife.\n \nThat smile, the strength, that reassurance and confidence are the nicest things that have ever happened to me.\nst
