Death was the most peaceful feeling of his life

Found a good read on Reddit.


I was really sick throughout the month of October last year. On Halloween, I was rushed to the hospital because I was having trouble breathing. I was shortly thereafter diagnosed with pneumonia. Two days after being admitted, my mom woke me up from my nap - I could barely lift my head up. All I wanted to do was sleep and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I remember telling my mom that my heart felt as if it were going to explode. The next few minutes are a little blurry - my mom rushed out of the room to get a nurse. The nurse comes in to check my vitals and runs back out in a panic. I remember hearing "rapid response to 4 North, rapid response to 4 North". Everything went blank, and when I awoke, I had two doctors and 3 nurses in room, not to mention my mom standing next to my bed with a look on her face of terror. I've never seen her look like that before in my life.

I know this sounds like the most morbid thing in the world, but dying was the most beautiful feeling I've ever felt in my life. I felt at peace. Everything I've done, I've experienced and accomplished with my life - I was satisfied with. I told my mother that everything will be okay and that I was happy. It was like the universe shot me up with happiness-heroin and I was in the most tranquil coma. All the pain, all the heart-ache, all the problems I've ever been through didn't matter anymore - it all became trivial. I just wanted to fall asleep, close my eyes and be totally okay letting everything go. Until I was literally jolted back into reality (I was paddled back to life). I could feel the warm slowly come over my body, like the heat was suddenly turned on in the room. I also realized I must have urinated myself when I died.

I'm no longer afraid of death. And if my loved ones who passed felt anything like I did, I became at peace with their dying, knowing they felt that happiness I did. And I definitely don't take life for granted anymore.


TL;DR Someone was sick, died and woke up later. Was the most beautiful feeling he had ever felt.

Although this may not be the cause of that persons feeling, i believe what they felt was the body releasing a chemical called DMT. DMT is a chemical found in every living thing and is released upon death. Recently though people have begun taking it recreationally with astounding affects. To anyone with a netflix account and an hour and a half to spare i would highly, no pun intended, recommend watching it.

Reminded me of the show I Survived - Beyond and Back

Tons of people who died and came back. Alot of them say it was very peaceful once they go and when they come back some wish they didnt because of the pain they feel when they come to.


This guy got struck by lightning through a payphone and died. When he came back he had this insane interest to piano and music. He began composing music with no prior experience in music at all, let alone piano.

There are some full episodes online about it. It is well worth checking out some unreal stories about people who died and came back.

I didn't watch the video, but that's probably because of a "high" caused by a lack of oxygen to their brains. It's hard to tell if someone is actually dead because death is defined as a lack of brain function. Maybe their heart stopped, but that is far from death. They must have just been in a coma.

Hahaha what the fuck are you talking about. When your heart stops you are not "just in a coma," you're fucking dead.

Read Euthphyro by Plato. THAT is a beautiful recount of death.

If you don't mind reading from your computer screen:
http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/euthyfro.html

It's not a long read, should take you 10-15 minutes

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a doctor.

"...death is defined as a lack of brain function [/ activity]"

You can't really die and come back alive, atleast from what I can figure. If you brain stops doing anything, nothing can control your heart. Therefore, if your heart starts beating again, then you brain never actually ceased all activity, since it can still send out the signals to keep your heart beating.

Of all the people I have watched die, I can tell you that not ONCE has the doctor been like..."Hmm, he's been down for 25 minutes, he's asystole on the monitor, and has no pulse, but I wonder how his brain function is!" That's cool that you quoted the dictionary, but I can tell you firsthand that you're considered dead when your heart stops.

Haha. I never quoted a dictionary, silly billy.

But ima go ahead and believe you since it seems you have a firm understanding of biology and have seen tons of people die, so you must obviously know what you're talking about.

I mean, you can argue about what the "true" definition of death is all day, but all I'm saying is they're not gonna hook you up to an EEG to make sure you're really dead when your heart isn't beating. If we can't get you back within a few minutes, you're not coming back.

In most of the episodes, they are pronounced dead at the hospital and then they are revived by the hospital.

when you're in a coma you star in an imaginary tv show.

Sorry man this is actually not true at all there is no evidence that DMT is 'released' during birth, death, or dreams, nor that it is 'stored' in the pineal gland. Other than the fact that traces of DMT are found in the urine of mammals, that entire documentary is based entirely in conjecture.

Scientists have a horrible understanding of language. I hope you realize that. Words in themselves do not have meanings.

If we were to use science to describe the events that occur in death, we must use only science. You must then realize that death the metaphysical events may not be discussed. The categorical imperative is very important in the metaphysical argument, but a priori intuition has no place in science.

Separate your arguments so your arguments are more lucid

Think I saw it while scrolling down. But DMT. Just more DMT than you could possibly ever smoke I believe unless you had a mask on or something.
