My Dad died a couple of years ago in hospital. He was heavily sedated and didn't feel anything. He was kept alive long enough for my brother to get over from Holland.
When we were all gathered around the machine was switched off. We had to be told when he'd actually died so it must have been peaceful.
But, giving it another thought, I believe the worst way to die is without Faith. Wow, it won't be hard for me to leave this world because I have belief in God, etc. But imagine those folks who think life just "ends," period. Yuck!
Can't help but think you'll be the one who's disappointed... or would be if you were aware of what was going on.
But it really doesn't matter, now, does it, to what you and I say and do while we're standing here on terra firma, right? So I'll save the argument for the After Life if you don't mind. Another win/win situation, yes? :)
I won't even try and prolong the argument as I respect your opinions and beliefs even if I don't share them; as you say... it's another win/win situation!
May I just say though how nice it is to have an 'argument' with someone that doesn't end up resorting to shouting, threats, abuse, etc.!
Let me just tickle your argumentative bone a wee bit and tell you that my sister came to comfort me when I was totally losing it when she died suddenly in '89 at age 44, day before her 45th birthday. Now I know there's all kinds of mind and brain explanations for some people's "visitations" with those who have passed. But when that "visitor" tells you something that you never knew and you verify what she told/showed you, it's downright scary at first. But very, very comforting. But I'm going to go step into your "I don't believe this nut case" realm just a second and tell you it has happened on more than one occasion. Now for the good part -- it ain't always the human loved ones that came visiting. Doubly weird, I know.
So you're "assured," huh? Well, I don't like playing around with the psyche of assured folks because you've obviously come to a comfortable place in your life. But, heck, I'd like to shake your rafters a little bit anyway because it's fun. And, yes, I don't resort to nastiness -- except for my brilliant sarcasm, of course -- or anything like that. I like hearing other people's viewpoints when they diff...

I like hearing other people's viewpoints when they differ from mine because then I sometimes actually incorporate something you say into my own belief system. Not often does that happen, mind you, but it has happened.
So I do, indeed, look forward to some good, healthy battles with you, my dear. This place could use some cheering up anyway,. Have a great weekend!
I'm not going to romp through all the explanations for what you saw because you already know them and you're not stupid. In fact, in lots of ways, I envy you; it must be reassuring in so many ways.
I, too, look forward to many future tussles with you... may I add you as a friend so we can keep in touch?
Take care and have a great weekend also.
As for my beliefs being reassuring? It sure beats the doom and gloom picture that many folks -- you included, it sounds like -- anticipate. So, yes, it does help a lot.
And, please, don't try to snow me, my new friend. There is no way you can EVER claim victory because if I don't come and find you, then of course there is nothing in the afterlife and so there would be no way you could actually claim a victory. So, you see, luv, I have already pointed you to a valid reason to rethink your belief system. Hah! (Now that was fun. Next?)
Doom and gloom? Nah! I just think it'll be oblivion! So no doom nor gloom,
I keep saying that it's the differences that make people interesting so I look forward to us being able to have more fun until we can actually resolve the afterlife question!
Take care.
and Cancer,
I want to go with as little pain and fear as possible, and at just the right speed so that I realize I'm dying and can prepare myself for that last moment. And hopefully after having asked a friend to "Watch this!"
