I have these random I guess you can call “episodes” where i have this almost out of body experience where i start saying to myself, you’re just you, you’re literally just you, and start thinking about how minuscule i am and then it eventually leads to how i am so fearful of dying one day. I understand I wasn’t around for the Korean War, or world war 2, or the Roman Empire, and that makes sense, since I simply wasnt existing, but now that I exist, the thought of me not existing, and quite frankly never being able to exist again terrifies me. I went to a religious school for a few years and went to church etc, but science tells me that my body make up is unique, and just being born is winning the lottery in its own right. As nice as it is to think my body protrudes this soul is going to rise up and say what up Jesus am I in? or my very unique dna that can profile me as a murderer is going to somehow leak out of my dead composing body, and makes its way into some other woman’s vagina to again try to fight off another 1 million other contestants (assuming dad didn’t jerk off that day) just really gets to me that I have this one chance and this limited, aka very limited time to live a good life. I have a good life mind you. Great wife, supportive family, 2 kids now, great house, but this whole death thing just makes me say sometimes like, wtf man, I want to experience this love and life forever, why does it gotta be so short. Just would like to hear your guys’ thoughts on the manner. Thanks. [Reply]
My sister was in the room when our father died. The medical staff just sort of forgot that she was there as they turned off all of the machines. I've asked and she doesn't have a lot to say. I was on my way to the hospital.
Anyways... we are all free to believe whatever we want as to what happens when we die. I don't know what will happen and right now, I'm liking life on this planet. Not ready to leave and not really afraid of the end because we don't ever really accept our own mortality, IMO. [Reply]

Body does react....doesnt mean you will wake up. As a medic for almost 3 decades, Ive seen this.
Nights I have had too much to drink, my wife swears I go for 30 seconds or more before inhaling and sometimes I dont wake up when she pushes me or kicks me. [Reply]

It was like I envision taking a steroid, it motivated me so much! I have been like a tornado getting ready! **** dying for a few weeks anyhow! :-)
Let it come quick, let it come painlessly, and don’t let me see it coming. If it hit those three points it could happen tomorrow and I wouldn’t care. [Reply]
