[quote=Anonymous]My father died an agonizing death and morphine and fentanyl did not keep him comfortable. It was traumatizing to witness his suffering. When he was given Ativan, we were told that it was to make him less anxious. Nope, it was to subdue him so he’d be an easier patient and we’d think he was peaceful. I deeply regret that he didn’t have an “accidental” overdose before hospice got involved.

I have no idea what death actually feels like, but I used to have periodic episodes of SVT, where my heart would beat anywhere from 190-250 beats per minute, and multiple times I had to go to the ER and have Adenosine administered to interrupt the electrical activity in my heart. The body knows when something suddenly shuts down cardiac activity, even if only for a second. I wasn’t actually dying, so there was no bright light or anything like that, but I felt the physical sensation of life draining out of me, like I was slipping away. It wasn’t painful at all and it wasn’t scary because it was standard treatment and I was closely monitored, but it’s unpleasant psychologically when you’ve done it enough times that you know what you’re about to feel. After two cardiac ablations, I’ve been able to avoid it for the last 4 years.[/quote]
