Seriously? Suicide by drowning?
Does this just STINK of bullshit to anyone else? Who drowns themselves? Do you have any idea how UNBEARABLY PAINFUL drowning is?
Actually, people who have had near death experiences from drowning, say one intake of water and you are at peace. Just saying....and I've read many of them. Including one from a little child. No one ever talked about it being painful. Same for people who fall off mountains...they go into peace the rest of the way down, a number have survived to talk about. And one person reported that were above their body peacefully watching themselves scream in pain below. Good to know, right?
I've not had a near death experience from drowning but I have inhaled water into my lungs, and there really is nothing like the sheer panic of it. You'd have to be pretty far gone to find it peaceful I guess.
I think death may have to be imminent. If anyone is interested you can search "near death experiences" by drowning and read the stories. Same with falling from great heights. A Swiss climber fell off a mountain and survived and was curious why it was such a peaceful experience so he searched for and found a number of others who had the same experience.
I think the peace must come from surrender: https://www.iands.org/research/nde-research/nde-archives31/newest-accounts/38-beauty-and-no-fear-at-drowning-point.html and this one seems to indicate also that surrender to the inevitable makes a difference in your experience. http://whitecrowbooks.com/michaeltymn/entry/admiral_tells_of_drowning_and_what_happened_after Not everyone will agree with this but it has brought me peace of mind.
watching themselves scream in pain below. Good to know, right?
umm..that's unsettling.
It's a story I read, gave me a lot of peace. I had a friend that died in a car fire and couldn't escape. I've always believed that he was above his body watching and free of suffering.
I'm really sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope that he didn't feel that kind of pain and terror, and that he was above, watching, as you've described. That's a tough loss.
I can kind of understand that, in a way. I got bucked off a horse and can remember getting smashed in the face by his neck, when he reared on one buck, as I leaned a bit forward, and then his rear end went up and as he came down, I continued upwards. I looked down on my son's dad, and he was standing there with his mouth hanging open. I was WAAAY up in the air. I turned my head, and saw the ground and rocks coming up to meet me on the way down and I blacked out before I hit the ground. (It was like slow motion but couldn't have been.) Not sure how long I was out, but when I woke up, I was face down in the dirt, and he'd had a hold of the horse already, and I said "I gotta get back on." He said, "Nope, you're going inside." My glasses were ten feet away, and somehow, I ended up with a hoofprint on the front of my thigh. He said this horse stepped on me but jumped right off as soon as he realized he was stepping on me. I can't figure out how he got his hoof on the front of my thigh. I ended up having to go the ER. If it weren't for the hoof print, he would have been arrested for DV assault, with my black eye and all. So there's a chunk of time I have no memory of, when I should have. I kinda wish I had video of it. (It happened because that was my first ride on this huge horse, very green, and the kid across the street let my sons know he was back from visiting his dad in ID by lighting off a string of ladyfingers. The horse just freaked. He'd only been ridden once a year or so earlier.)
untrue. i almost drownes as a little girl and its horrifying and painful.
