“As you’re dying, you start feeling tired in a way you never have before (or will again, until you die). The sheer act of staying alive is EXHAUSTING.

But then it’s all blank until I woke up from a coma a couple weeks later. You don’t even remember the actual moment of death, and it takes weeks for your mind to remember everything leading up to it.

I was in a ton of pain before and after because a couple of my organs were perforated, but dying itself wasn’t painful.

I agree that I’m also not afraid of death. Not even just because of the pain factor, but because it feels less unknown to me and there isn’t time for regret when it happens.”
