Have looked it in the face a few times , woke up alive and a little disappointed twice .
Another time looked like I was going to be burned alive and remember wondering how bad this is going to be , will I go down solid or scream like a bitch , had never been burnt real bad.
Held strong as the flames grew and was able to remain calm directing people on what to do .
They got me out , was weird never lost control during
or after , weird calm .
Kenneth I'll man up, being burned alive I'll be screaming like a bitch. One of my fears in dying. Yeah , just sharing some of the dumb things you think of at a time like that . I also remember thinking , really ? Then got levelheaded and focused on task at hand. Kenneth

I’m more afraid of living than dying with all the crazy scheit going on in this world. There ARE fates worse than death.

Years go I woke up in the dentist’s chair, and I had not gone to sleep. I was rather wet and sweaty and the dentist and his assistant were very pale. I asked what happened, and the dentist said “you died, but we got you back”. My heart had quit and my breathing quit. Of course, I didn’t have any dying ‘experience’. I just woke up from being temporarily dead. Dying didn’t hurt, and there was not the slightest sensation of anything. No life flashbacks. No pearly gates. Just nothing, and no sensation of nothing. I guess that’s how permanently and instantly dead is. You won’t know you’re dead. I could say that “you’ll see”, but you won’t.
I was in for wisdom teeth removal. He gave me a shot. I remember that.
His assistant was a really cute girl about my age. I had planned to ask her out, but guess I looked bad being dead.

I have no fear of death at all, none, zero, nada.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I was gone fir over 4 minutes during a sleep study once. I didn't get to the peaceful light stage. I floated above myself and started drifting away like I was caught in a current. I saw what the nurse and her aid were doing and told them what it was and they were amazed because I couldn't see their desk from my room.
They showed my everything from the monitors, no breathing for over 4 minutes then my heart stopped and my brain waves. Then it all instantly restarted and I sat straight up in bed and said out loud I just had the craziest dream or something like that. They were calling a code blue on me. I didn't get to the peaceful part and was actually quite scared because I didn't want to leave my young kids. It was like I was drifting away down the hall and up but could grab anything to pull myself back. There's more to it but you'll have to be LDS to understand what I did to get back.
Bb 4 minutes gone while being monitored? that crew must have been union workers  mike r I asked them why they waited so long to call a code. They said they are used to seeing people with apnea go a few minutes without breathing and even triggering alarms from time to time. When I hit 3 minutes they said they panicked. One time after a stomach surgery a nurse gave me 50 MG of morphine post op instead of 5mg. She said she was used to giving everyone demoral but I am allergic to that so I was to get morphine 5-10mg but she got the morphine right but went with a demorol dose. My vitals started dropping right away and the alarms went off and they had the crash cart in the room before I even passed out. They gave me narcan and I was back in seconds. I didn't see anything during that short nap but was in a lot of pain for hours after that and had to stay in recovery a few extra hours. The sleep center guys just don't get as excited when people don't breath for a while. Bb

I think a widow maker heart attack would be ideal. Do not want to die in a hospital either Same thoughts here. I work part time in a hospital ER and spent multiple sandbox tours as a combat medic. I've seen suffering and want nothing to do with it.
Medics bury their mistakes..

Raspy: Nope... never have been afraid of that.
Don't wish it to happen anytime soon but don't fear or dread that inevitability.
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

I really don't think about it. My paternal Grandfather dropped dead at 87 of a stroke picking zucchini in his garden.

I think most everyone is. I have faith but I love my family and what I have here. I’m in no rush to die.

Nope, but there are some things that cause it that I would just as soon avoid.

I worry more about leaving before my dear wife and her having to deal with the mess.
Not near any of my relatives, for them to come and get certain items.
Probably should rig up a switch to just torch it all out there in the shop when I go. Tell her to make sure she gets the car and some of her stuff out, or it'll be ashes.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
