uummm, only someone who has died can tell you that, although I don't think that the soul feels pain when it separates from the body, I think that it is at peace, you know?
Death is an unknown process and we cannot really know what a person feels at a time of death.
As I believe in an afterlife beyond death,some do not believe in that.
I think the important thing is not the process of dying,but the process of living.
And remembering that death will come to all and those who are already passed away knows what lies beyond death,we do not and it is upto us to do good and be prepared for death at all times.
Dearest Shawnforever, My son died in a car crash in 1993. On the third day after, he came to me and showed me, he felt nothing. Like a speeding silver bullet train racing down on me and then.....blank....nothing....When I was 7, I was hit by a car on my bike. She was doing 60 mph, according to the skid marks. I was in a coma for three days.
I remember nothing! I feel that your husband had the same experience. I believe that, in these cases, we leave out body, just before it happens, no pain, no suffering.
There's a lot of different views on this. I found a neigthbor, and good friend, dead in his garage. He looked very peaceful. He had gona jogging, and then sat down, and died in a chair. I got in contact with his friend in Thailand. She asked me how long he had been dead before the coroner and paramedics got there. They had told me about 8 hours. She was so relieved to hear this. I did touch him to try for a pulse, and I closed his eyes. She told me that according to her beliefs the soul needs 8 hours to exit the body, and touching the body would disturb the soul and cause a great deal of pain.
I don't blieve in this, but it's just one of the many things people think. I think you need to figure out what YOU believe.
I will tell you this. No matter what your beliefs are, even aethiest. Everyone believes that there is no more pain or suffering after death. There is either heaven, Nirvana, Nothing... or a bunch of other possibilities depending on what you believe. All of these things are pain free.
For one who has not passed away nor had a NDE (Near-Death Experience), it would be hard to imagine what happens at the time of a person's transition. There is much research that has been done about this most interesting subject and many books have been written by M.D.s and Ph.D.s and other Afterlife researchers.
Those who have "died" (in quotations since in reality there is no death) on the operating table, for instance, and then revived a period of time later, have revealed that they felt most peaceful in a place filled with Light and much Love. They saw a tunnel that leads to the world of Spirit (Heaven) and they experienced an immediate Life Review. This life review is what one has done during their lifetime (since all is being recorded in the Book of Life), thus both the good and the bad appears before them for a matter of mere moments. One can also experience the pain they caused others as well as the good the other person felt by their being helped. This appears to weigh in heavily as to where a person will spend eternity when they are fully released from their physical body.
As to whether the soul feels pain when separated from the body, the answer given most all of the time is no. The spirit is held to the physical body by a silver cord that is also mentioned in the Holy Bible. At the time of a person's transition (passing) that silver cord is severed completely and the spirit then leaves the physical body permanently. There is no pain involved with this natural process. Many have reported that when they were declared "dead" at the operating table or elsewhere, they floated up and saw their body on the table and could hear very well what was being said and who was in the room, etc. They could even go to other places within the building or environment they were in.
When questioned by skeptics later as to what was actually said, who was in the room, what they were wearing, etc. they were able to answer Perfectly! This astounded the skeptics and provided the basis for belief that the spirit indeed can wander for a period of time as a person is "dying" and can see and retain memories of what they experience during this time. This not only happened with people who had a NDE in this country (U.S.A.) but from all over the world, basically the same story from everyone having a NDE. This has been documented and that is why learned people have done research into this important matter and continue to as well as have written books on the subject. Even the Vatican is now of the position that communication with the deceased is possible.
Please understand that We Do Not Die! Life merely continues in another form of a higher vibration than the one we are currently in.
For more on this wonderful subject, you may wish to read what a Bishop had to say about Life After Death.
I can't say from personal experience, but a friend of mine survived a near-fatal heart attack. I asked him later if he had any of the "near-death experiences" that people sometimes report. He said, "No, actually, the last thing I remember before waking up in the hospital was being concerned because I was sh!tting my pants". So I guess it's not always visions of light-beings. But of course, he didn't actually die, so I guess it doesn't necessarily prove anything.
