‘We died and came back to life and this is what it was really like’ | Weird | News

As the old saying goes, there are only two certainties in life; death and taxes.

But despite extraordinary scientific advances, death remains one of life’s greatest mysteries. No one truly knows what awaits them until they face it themselves.

There are countless popular theories about seeing a white light or watching your life unfold like a film reel – but how reliable are they?

Our only insight into this puzzle comes from individuals who were clinically dead and subsequently resuscitated.

Some of these people took to Reddit in an attempt to answer the unanswerable question: “What is it like to die?” Daily Star reported.

The answers are quite varied.

“I wasn’t hot or cold, hungry or tired; just a peaceful, neutral thing. I knew there was light and love somewhere nearby, but I didn’t want or need to go there right away.”

“I remember thinking about my life, but it wasn’t like a montage. More like I was idly flipping through the pages of a book and bits and pieces stood out here and there.

“Then someone slapped my helmet (which actually hit my head very hard).

“When I opened my eyes, I saw my brother crouched on the sidewalk next to me. It was weird because my brother had died of an overdose a few years before.

“It’s hard to describe but I had the feeling that I could choose whether I wanted to stay or go but every time I tried to go back I was held in place.
