Many times.When my first boyfriend and I broke up. When my husband cheated on me. When my sister died at 46. When my brother died at 36. When my mother died. Two weeks ago when my son-in-law was diagnosed with cancer at 28. One night when I was having chest pains and didn't think I would live to see the next day. Many other times too. through out my life. I just say to my self. This to shall pass. I wish I knew more about whats going on with you. So maybe I could help. Some of the questions people ask are to vague. We need more details. Sorry life is hard for you.Right now.

i think im more afraid of being dead then the pain. Its scary to no that you cant see your loved ones again, and everything else you'll miss. You cant live life anymore...to me thats the real pain.

i doubt people feel pain when they die in their sleep. unless they are shot while they're sleeping or sumthing

When i had my near death experience i visualized myself at my own funeral hovering from above and i was feeling my mothers pain of losing me. Then i was surrounded by a bright and very colorful light that surrounded me and that i had become merged with. I was then given a choice of coming back, which obviously i did, but i was told that if i was to come back i would never be the same. Today (4years down the track) i am just getting over my depression since that day and feeling like life is worthwhile. And since coming back i have had the ability to sense things and be able to feel things more intensely and have become a spiritual person.

Good question.  I have had a hard life when I had a start to a very promising life.  I started out going to medical school.  Life has dealt lots of physical pain and mental pain to along with it.  It has at times been very trying because I have felt that I am in hell already and wanted to die.  But I am accepting the pain that I have in this life and will accept all the pain and torture to reunite myself with God.  The pain of this world is temporary like the blink of and eye.  I will not end what God has started and will thank Him for the pain and the pleasure equally.  They are equal.  They will no longer make me to want to end my life.  I start my life new every day and feel my spirit grow stronger than my aching body.  \n\nI don't need to answer anyones questions for why I have failed in their eyes.  I listen to my true self and I know that I am strong and have defeated myself to gain myself.

Not me. When I'm old and sick and miserable and all my friends and loved ones are dead, what's the point of being alive? I would rather die than be suffering and constantly in pain

a few times in life i felt at the end of my rope but when that happens I just tie a knot and hang on until it gets better. Now when my daughter was killed last year i really though i was going to die that day not kill myself as i have other kids and grand kids to be here for but just felt i was going to die right then and there my heart was so broke and it is just now starting to mend a little it will be 1 year on the 8th of Dec. but i am still standing please hang on when it gets rough tie that knot and grab hold it will get better God bless you

Ghost stories are Bull**it!!! I did watch someone die once. It was an extremely moving experience. The woman was dying of kidney failure (very painful)and was struggling quite a bit to stay alive.She was thrashing around and was in and out of consciousness for several hours. As the last moments approached I stared deeply into her eyes to see what was going on inside her mind (so to speak). What I saw really shook me quite a bit. In her eyes I saw a change taking place. As I looked I began to see other faces in her face. Not anything like a ghost, but more like a percieved image of all the people I have ever known. My parents, freinds and even my own face. I guess it was empathy or something, but I saw death and stared it in the face. I saw us all there. we are all of one "soul" I would say. All of lifes experiences will happen to us all ultimately. Enjoy it while you can. And keep in mind we are all the same. There are no seperations when it comes to "soul".

Yes, I have seen many die with my own two eyes. I used to work in a Nursing Home.\n\nBesides that, I was holding my Grandmother's hand when she took her last breath. I stayed with her day in and day out at the hospital and when she passed on, though it nearly broke me into, I knew she was in a better place. \n\nI think the experience would be much more traumatic if you saw someone die from a tragic death such as a car wreck or shooting accident or something of that nature. I am not saying it would hurt less to lose a member of the family or friend that had been sick but to lose a friend or family member and see it happen from a sudden loss would be devastating to me.

I have not lost a parent. I have lost a brother. We were approx. 12 months apart in age. He died drinking and driving when I was 20 and he was 19. I was devastated, but never cried about it. He and I had talked about death but not our own. There isn't a day goes by I don't think about him. I am sad, on the inside, but not depressed. I can talk about him with great pride and conviction without crying a drop. And about the loss..... is there anyway to describe the feeling of emptiness and loss? No, but we can not dwell on what we can not change. I do know that my life would be completely different if he were here. I moved 1000 miles from home, just to get away from the sadness, it didn't help. But it did change the whole direction of my life. I will not say that it is a mental illness to have feeling like this, but it is very difficult to express the way you truly feel. I try not to talk about it but feel better when I do. His birthday was last week 10/25. Mine is today.

Only if you feel like dying.

I was always afraid of my father's death when I was growing up. My dad was my world (mom didn't want me so my dad raised me by himself). My biggest fear was him passing away. One night he left to go to the store for coffee, and was killed by a drunk driver. It hit me like a ton of bricks. No matter how much I tried to prepare myself for that day, it was nothing compared to how I actually felt. My world had crumbled the second that my step brother called me. I got depressed, and closed everyone out. No one understood me like my dad did. Everyone thought I had gone nuts, but it was my way of dealing with it. In two days it'll be three years since it happened. Things haven't been the same since. I got married and didn't have him there to walk me down the aisle, he never got to see his grandson. There's times I'm glad he's not here now because he would beat my husband to death for hitting me, and if he didn't then, he would've after we divorced. Anyways, the best advice I can offer is make the best out of every moment you spend with her and always cherish the times you've had with her. Her death is inevitable, and there is no way to prepare yourself. When it happens, talk to someone, anyone you think my have even the tiniest idea on how you're feeling. Talk about her because remembering her the way she was is the best way to deal with death. It won't get better immediately, but give it time. Since my dad's death I truly feel alone in this world, but I've found out that I do have some true friends who have helped me out through this. If you don't have someone you can talk to, if you like, you can IM me anytime...my yahoo ID is under my profile....think I'm making this too long winded as it is :D.

I was in an auto accident once where the car went off the road and flipped in the air.  Once I was airborn I thought that 'This is IT'.  I didn't feel my life go before my eyes or anything like that.  I felt cool and calm.  When I did clime back up to the road a passerby had stopped and was shocked to find out I was not hurt.\nI've allso tried suicide, and when I woke up the next day, I was really mad at not being successful, but life goes on.

How indeed! Are we living a nightmare or dreaming reality if so is death the end of our torment or what?

I have a neuro/muscular disease and live with chronic pain that I take daily medication for, kidney stones and have suffered from an open femur fracture, but I still think the worst pain is that of a broken heart. It has been proven that people can die of a broken heart [for example when a spouse dies and the other dies with in 6 months a broken heart is considered a contributing factor] I have also had the unpleasantness of suffering one when my mother died. She and I were very close and I still miss her very much 12 years later but my father was worse, he died 5 months [on the same day of the month at the same time of day] after she did and his cardiologist listed a broken heart as a contributing factor.  I have had more pain than I care to talk about but the pain of my mom dying was and is the worse I have ever delt with.

Well in my case I felt the standard stabbing pain in my chest and a numbness in my left arm, it felt like someone was standing on my chest,couldn't breathe, couldn't hardly move. Broke out in a cold sweat and a feeling that is hard to explain, helplessness came over me. Fear, I knew what was going on, I wasn't afraid honestly ,I thought it was time to check out, my family met with me at the hospital, my brothers, and we talked and even laughed about all the things we had done as kids, I could see fear in thier eyes, I tried to make it easy on them. This was a "Minor" heart attack, it did however do some muscle damage to my heart, and I have suffered 2 more in the last 8 years, all required hospital time. My problems however are not blocked arteries mine is caused by a-fib, an extreme electrical short in the heart. I have been told a pacemaker would be the next step, I am just not sure about having "The Energizer Bunny" regulating my heart beat. You only fear death my friend if you are not sure what awaits you there, I know....and there is nothing to be of afraid of there.\n\nBlessings

Yeah, I'm with you!  You ever woke up and just wonder when it's going to end?  Not your life, but the pain. The pain of never really living, never being happy, never having any one to hold?  It hurts!  Hope you find a way out!
