Psychologists say that the fear of death is in all of us, even if we do not realize. And, let's face it, there is something to fear, writes ukrhealth.
1. The deceased is aware that he died
This was stated by American scientists after many years of observation. It turned out that even after the cardiac arrest people can be conscious and feel the world around us. They can see and hear others, but their body will no longer be heard.
The fact is that in most cases, doctors note the time of death at the moment when the heart stops. From that moment the blood ceases to flow to the brain, and his work is starting to slow. Slow, but not stop. neuronal death may take several hours after cardiac death. And all this time, his bark is slow, but it works. A man - to feel.
This explains the fact that after clinical death of nearly 50% of people can talk about their experiences, and some - even recount conversations doctors. Part of the patients reported that if caught in a trap of his own body: they knew everything but could not move even a finger.
2. Heaven and hell - in our heads
What exactly feel dying?
Understand this help all the same stories from patients about clinical death. Scientists divide the dying experience of 7 main scenarios:
● fear
● images of animals or plants,
● bright light,
● death
● violence and persecution,
● feeling of deja vu,
● images of family members.
What is happening around the dying?
Emotions patients in this range from terrible to pleasant. Some have reported that they "dragged deep under water" or sentenced to be burned, the other - about a sense of peace and tranquility. Some saw lions and tigers and other "bathed in the rays of a bright light." Some of the patients have already reunited with deceased relatives, and some felt detached from his own body.
Scientists believe that the form of hallucinations depend on experience and beliefs. So, the Indians have seen Krishna, and the Americans - Jesus Christ.
3. Does it hurt?
Australian experts say that the painful death - it is very rare. Much more often people before dying people concerned about fatigue, insomnia and respiratory problems. They also note that these symptoms are less as they approach death.
But scientists from the United States say that dying people fear death much less than safe and sound. The authors studied the blogs terminally ill patients. It turned out that the word "happiness" and "love" are found in them more often than the word "fear", "horror", "alarm".
Similar results were obtained by studying the last words, sentenced to death. They were compared with the words of people who only asked to present themselves doomed to death. It turned out that the words of these prisoners have been much less negative than the entry of people who are not threatened with death in the near future.
Both experiments showed that dying people often reflect on the meaning of life, religion, and family than about death itself.
