If you were about to d!e, and you were allowed the answer to one question.. what would it be?

Who loved me the most out of all my relationships?

What happened to >insert unsolved crime/mystery<?

Was I a good parent / child?

I saw this on Tiktok and honestly have spent days trying to come up with one!

What would yours be?

My only question would be "is it going to hurt?"
I think about this often.

How long do I have?

got to know how many of my list I can finish off before I die

Threads like this give me the rage.
You are alive so get on with living.

When you have lost a family member and someone asks a stupid question like this it makes no sense whatsoever

If it was peaceful, could ask why those other times werent your last?..

The things - one of them I lost 2.5 litres of blood during a c section (they didn’t realise I had a placenta issue and I just began to bleed to death very suddenly; the consultant was standing there shaking her head and looking very worried, everyone in a panic etc. I was very calm, I remember looking over at Ds in dhs arms and thinking “well that’s that then” and feeling an intense sense of knowing they’d be okay… it was all very odd. And then I spent a week in recovery….!)

The other one I was mugged by two people on my way home. They followed me home from the train station and attacked me. I remember walking very fast and knowing they were right behind me and the moment they reached out and grabbed me my thought was literally “oh fuck” and I then had the same thought pattern as above.

Its a very weird thing because you think you’ll panic etc and yeah if you know it’s coming you have time to build up fear but in the moment you’re strangely accepting of it.

Not sure I'd bother asking any questions if I was about to shuffle off. I'd probably just be thinking "thank goodness - all done".

PermanentTemporary · 03/09/2022 22:46

I don't think any of those would interest me as I was about to die tbh. Probably 'when is my next morphine dose' would be more relevant.

Maybe 'is there life more complex than single cells on other planets?"

@Afterfire
Tjat was my experience too!
So very close to death and I just thought, when are they (the medics) going to give up? This is pretty boring. I reckon that’s what most people think when they are actually dying

This reminds me a bit of my Mum when she died of bowel cancer. Just before she lost consciousness she said “oh that’s a shame, the party is over”- she genuinely seemed to feel like life was one big party and she wasn’t ready to stop.

So strange isn’t it!

Sorry you’ve had that experience too. 💐

@Afterfire
just saw Tyne t message- oddly it was a very similar experience- first pregnancy (DD had already died (at full term), so stillborn). I lost 4.2 litres of blood. I just thought dying is pretty boring for the person dying

Sorry your second message- my phone screen is cracked and makes autocorrect errors harder to spot

I know I don't have a lot of the pieces of the puzzle, and in my limited analysis which I could be completely wrong but, I believe what was carried out was to help me, and if that is the case, then overall was I worth it ?
