What dying really feels like

Have you ever wondered what dying really feels like?

Dying is one of life’s great mysteries. Whether you think death spells the end, or you believe in reincarnation no one truly knows what happens when you die.

When a reader of Quora Q&A recently posed the question “what does dying feel like” many people responded with their near death experiences and spoke of the moments during their experience before they were revived.

The respondent’s answers vary from blissful peace and calm to a disappointment that they had not achieved more, but although many variations on the experience occur there are also many similarities.

Coloured lights, peace and sinking, cessation of pain or discomfort, even seeing loved ones arise time and again begging the question can everyone be making it up or is this really how death feels?

Whilst the argument that a near death experience is not exactly dying is somewhat relevant, going to the edge and coming back again is the closest we will ever get to death and still live to tell the tale.
