Yes, my friend, there are many worse experiences than death, and at first that might sound rather odd, but I only learned this having come back from it, and living still, I can say that I am in for the pound, as I've done paid my penny, though there are many pains worse than death, that have tempted many to successfully end their's sooner than might have been.
Yes, as in clinically dead, and also the slow death experienced when love is not present in the heart, and the near death one may experience vicariously through a loved one's drawn out death and dying, and I feel that there are many more that could fill a list, but I'd rather not dwell upon such, I am sure many will understand.
A touching version of a song that would incline me to drink if I listened too often..., but I appreciate it all the same.
I died the day before Thanksgiving, having an emergency oral surgery, removing a horribly infected tooth (as I loathed the dental sadists, and tried outlasting them, and failed), and was blessed, by my reckoning, to have been ushered back to the land of the supposed living, awaking to a institutional turkey dinner, that was a torture in itself, but was I glad to be ALIVE, I will not lie.
I had made peace with my life's conditions before I had approached death, and I surmise that this played a key part to my having accepted it, rather than to arm wrestle with the overwhelming nature of "it" all, and I relinquished myself to my fate.
Now, since then, I have lived much more humbly and freely than is easily described, having faced and dealt with the eventuality that we all seem to face sooner or later, and I feel rather strengthened by the experience.
No one forces such unless those pains worse than death drive them to it, but most pain can be lived with, if not befriended, I hold as truth in my life.
But I am cut from thick clothe, or so I have been told.
One of my favourites as well.

This all needs to end.

I think to understand.
If you are talking about "clinical death," I do understand, but there are many other forms of dying...

Salut!

Thanks. I've been trying, but there are too many comments to respond to... Will do, though.
