What Happens To You Just Before You Die

(please read part 1 before read this part)

As the wave of blood-starved brain cells spreads out, Dr. Dot Shaw explains, "our memories and language centers short out, until we're left with just a core. You're not aware of what's happening at this point. Not to be overly depressing, but you essentially stop responding, go blank, sink into the abyss of nothingness, or whatever name you prefer. According to Dr. Shaw, you do see a white light at the end of a tunnel before you pass away, but it's not always because you're floating into heaven. We're sorry to break it to you, but according to Dr. Shaw, this occurs when the brain experiences a sudden drop in blood flow, which leads to tunnel vision. The first thing you notice is a feeling of faintness and a focusing of your vision, which is followed, depending on how you interpret it, by either a foreboding or tranquil darkness. However, it is all connected to the blood loss in your head.

The idea of the "out-of-body" experience, which many people have asserted to have had during life-threatening, near-death experiences, is also explained by Dr. Shaw. People allegedly experience this when they believe they are floating through the air like a spirit, ghost, or apparition. From an aerial perspective, they can see items in another room or the tops of people. Dr. Shaw asserts that this is just a mental ruse and that it is not real. He asserts that the out-of-body sensation is merely a myth. He claims, quote, "because you are blind, your brain can produce a visual environment around you that appears to be somewhat real but isn't. We believe that when he says this, he is saying that when you are basically unconscious, you are blind to your surroundings. However, some people who have felt like they were outside of their bodies will continue to claim that this was a very real experience for them. Many people will come to its defense.

What do you think on the subject of whether your life passes before your eyes? You might find it interesting to learn that it does, but not in the way you might expect. You won't see yourself as a newborn and watch yourself grow up, is what we're trying to express. In contrast to movies, it doesn't take place in order. Simply watch important memories at random based on their significance and which ones made you feel the most. You'll reflect on your life's most remarkable or significant moments in the minutes before death.

Your first kiss, high school graduation, family vacations, the day you tied the knot with your spouse, the birth of your first child, and other memorable events come to mind. According to some people who have had this close call, a lot of memories were condensed into a brief period of time. Some people have even gone so far as to claim that they felt as though centuries had passed while watching the events of their lives play out in front of them as if on a screen were playing a movie. One person asserted that they could feel the emotions of friends and family members through each memory. The same individual was quoted as saying, "I was allowed to see that part of them and feel for myself what they felt," in an article in The Sun. Essentially, it was claimed that this experience directly increased one's empathy for others. Maybe the purpose of this was to impart a valuable lesson about respecting others in life.

In terms of philosophy, all we can do is guess. Dr. Cameron Shaw is not the first or the last person to study what happens before death; a pig brain experiment showed that the organ can continue to function cellularly even after clinical death has been declared. It is therefore theoretically possible to be either partially dead or partially alive. The likelihood is that you are not awake enough to realize that you are partially dead, which is creepy. A loss of consciousness is frequently cited as the first physical change that takes place for those who have ever witnessed a person with a terminal illness in their final moments. The person might still be able to hear or feel you even if they are unconscious. The skin may change after consciousness disappears and take on a faintly blue hue. The amount of mucus in the throat may cause the breathing to become loud. Shallow breathing may pause and resume in between breaths as the end approaches. It's called Cheyne Stokes breathing. Before completely ceasing, it can last for a brief or extended period of time.

Because you are unaware that you are dying, it is likely that you are not concerned or in pain as your body goes through the process of dying. Since of this, many people think that the transition will be relatively calm since, as the proverbial adage goes, "ignorance is bliss." Some patients get to decide when and where they want to pass away, and they can hold on a little while longer until a loved one comes to their bedside. Some people might not be as fortunate and might not be able to choose when they leave. Many people frequently feel bad for not being present when their loved one passes away. By missing the critical moment, they could feel as though they let the person down. Knowing that they were probably unaware of your absence when they died away may bring you some solace. However, if friends and family members are struggling after losing a loved one, they are typically advised to speak with a bereavement counselor who is skilled in supporting people in precisely these circumstances. Counselors can be incredibly valuable and helpful in helping people get through the challenging grief process. If you recently lost a loved one, getting bereavement help is crucial, and we strongly advise doing so
