Dying and Death Described

Dying: Dying is a very terrifying thing for most people. During the processes of dying, an intense urge to see loved ones is present. A hospital environment is worst of all for the processes. Being surrounded by electronics and doctors further terrorizes; and causes feelings of rejection, to the patient. Laying on the back is extremely terrifying for many people also. It increases chancres of death. Knowing there is nothing anyone can do to keep one alive is most terrifying. Noone; except those who died, are prepared for death. Laying on ones side in a very happy environment is best of all. Those who sympathize are very hurtfull to the dying person. The environment has to be one that contains memories of the person's total life; not where that person lived in some cases. Death: Death is the end of life. There are many phases prior to death that indicates the person is dying. Shock caused by the process prevents full knowledge of most of the processes; except to the most intelligent people. The first sign of death is usually smelling decaying flesh. The body emits a strong odour of decaying flesh for a few seconds. That occurs one time to many times during the dying process. There are usually no symptoms of death; due to total body numbness. The last phase of dying involves crystal clear vision; then, diminishes into a dark tunnel vision. The vision becomes lost after a few seconds to a few minutes. Even with the eyes opened, total darkness is seen. After a few minutes, the mind is focused on the darkness. Death occurs seconds after that phase. After death, there is no sensation of feeling, thoughts, vision, hearing, or olfaction. it is similar to a person sleeping for 8 hours; but only is aware of a few minutes sleep. There is no dreaming or thought processes that is remembered between those times. Experiences: I have experienced death many times in my life; in fact, over 100 times.
