[@InterestsMayVary2234]

I wish I had known this when my dad died. He was removed from the respirator and, once he passed, they allowed us to come back and see him again. We were there when he died but needless to say, had to step out and take a minute after his last breath. They sat him up which made his head sag and his mouth sag open. It upset me more than actually watching him die.

[@sabrecrafted7409]

Can confirm. Not a nurse, but have medical training (in both human and veterinary fields) and was a caretaker for my grandmother a few years back. Called in my mom (who IS an RN) to confirm Cheyne Stokes/VT and get everyone who wanted to be there in the room. Did the same a few days ago with my aunt. Passing occurred moments later in both cases. It's pretty obvious, and it's not something I expected to happen with any regularity in my life but here we are.

[@mimiadams247]

Interesting. The nurses took out my Mom's respirator (she was already dead) out and cleaned her mouth and face, closed her eyes and mouth, and she was still the beautiful woman I will always remember and DID look like she was sleeping. So much so that when my son came in to see his Grandma, not knowing she'd passed while he was on his way 😞 I had to hold him and tell her she was gone. Those nurses must have done an awesome job while we were outside the room waiting while they prepared her body. They were just all around amazing, letting us stay with her body several hours, checking on us every so often to see if we needed anything... Oh crud. I'm crying my darned eyes out now.

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

@@mimiadams247 The nurses who cared for your mother were dedicated workers and knew the impact of a family seeing their deceased loved one. That was a true act of kindness. Unfortunately, in an ER death, it’s automatically a coroner’s case according to Canadian law. Can’t remove any of the equipment or tubes or whatever until the coroner says so. All that strange, scary medical stuff stays where it is until the coroner clears it. Shocking dose of realism to the family, frequently upsetting, but all we could do was explain why, reassure them that everything would be gone when they saw the body again. Sometimes I wonder how the family feel about the law.

I got over fear of death by worrying more about the death of other loved ones. Not necessarily a great trade-off. From a philosophical standpoint, though, I try to understand it as a necessary result of living itself. If life is worthwhile, which I believe it is, then death is one of the necessary prices that must be paid in return. It is, indeed, unpleasant--those who do not feel so are better off and maybe know something I don't--but acknowledging that it is, to the rest of us, is healthy, too. The trick is, I think, being able to acknowledge the unhappy truths of life while being able to face them and still live as fully as possible.

​@@mangojules5736I have struggled with DEBILITATING death anxiety, which only got worse after my grandfather died. I have OCD and it causes me to obsess and ruminate on thoughts, usually unpleasant ones.

My beloved was an avid fisherman, adventurer, and all around unforgettable 'character'. He pretty much spent his whole life attempting to simultaneously be in as many places at once, as he possibly could. We were pursuing a fisheries degree together, when he died in a drowning accident near our home in 2009, his parents gave me the majority of his cremains. They incorporated their share into a concrete anchor for the swimming dock, out Infront of his childhood home. For me (because we'd already promised each other), I painstakingly seeded many hundreds of oysters on the beach in front of our cabin/home, with his cremains. I also put some in a small satchel that was beaded by Alaskan Native Tlingit royalty, along with a few small things that had held dear (so he could watch over and always be a part of his/our beloved cabin) OF COURSE, I donated some of him to a local Marijuana growing operation (I thought that would particularly give him a giggle). THEN I took him along on an Alaskan cruise trip with my family. During that time, I convinced a nice native fellow that I met, to shoot him out of a cannon during a Tlingit 4th of July celebration. Then, I met up with a couple of our friends at his favorite fishing hole (popular with local 'poachers') and left a bit of him there, along with a tribute of his favorite drink, platinum and Pepsi, as well as some of his favorite green grizzly chewing tobacco. Back in the day, whenever I got squeamish about baiting a hook with a living creature, because he was such an outdoorsman, he often chided me that "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FOOD CHAIN"! So, as a final farewell, I thought it most fitting and proper to scatter his remaining cremains at the very head of Glacier Bay, the LITERAL BEGINNING of the food chain, where there is only phytoplankton, diatoms, bacteria and other microplankton feasting in the mineral rich water flowing from the glacier. Further on, they're joined by herbivorous zooplankton, copepods, and krill. Then small fish and crustations, soon, larger fish and on up until you find the full range of marine life all the way to the top of the food chain, as you reach the mouth of the Bay. I think he'd find that EPIC.

She was declared at the hospital and brought to the morgue by the time we drove the 45 mins to her home.

Fact: Animal agriculture in order to keep people blind and buying products that kill us spray carbon monoxide (yes, the poison people use to commit suicide) on flesh which turns it bright red. No flesh is bright red. This is how they hide the green color of the flesh (as all flesh sold in store is older than a week) and keep the decomposition of the bacteria hidden. Also, fact, you're a frugivore and eating that flesh is killing you. www.watchdominion.com

Finally returning to your videos after a long year of battling cancer . I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma , a treatable form of blood cancer , in September of 2020 , and was declared cancer-free and officially completed treatment in July of 2021 . Related as well , my girlfriend lost her best friend to suicide shortly after my diagnosis in October of 2020 . I am only 20 years old , and having to face a serious disease like cancer and watching and supporting my girlfriend through horrific guilt and grief , in the midst of the pandemic , gave me a severe fear of death , worrying that even discussing the topic would “ open the door “ for death and make my condition take a turn for the worst , which was irrational to think , at best . I ended up not touching your videos for awhile . This was very unlike me - I have been subbed to you for around 7 years , and have always embraced the subject of death and mortality , even had a fascination and passion for it . So now , after beating cancer and currently being in the slow process of from the toll it’s taken on my body , I have decided it is high time to re-evaluate my relationship with death , and today I have taken to watching some of your videos again , remembering to be gentle and kind with myself in reintroducing the topic to my life . And , by chance , I happened to stumble upon this particular video , and it feels like your Mortal course has come at just the right time . I feel like I could benefit so much from it , and I’m really , really interested to looking more into it . That being said , I just want to say thank you on a personal level . I don’t know why I didn’t start watching you again sooner . Your videos are always from such a tactful , understanding , and compassionate angle . You and your channel feel like truly a safe space to face this fear , without worrying I am letting in some kind of bad luck just by exploring the topic - and that maybe opening the door for death is not a bad thing , if only to reach an understanding with it , and in turn be grateful for my survival and the life I have been blessed to keep living .

The corpse from Stand By Me frightened me very badly as a kid. Glad to hear it's pretty authentic.

[@glitterbitesback]

Same but now as an adult, I just find it so so sad. Like no one found him until those kids. And they just went because they heard a rumour. So like was no one looking for him? Would he have been found if it wasn’t for them going on a very twisted adventure? The silent walk back to town also gets me. The sudden change of emotion in the kids after actually seeing the body hits hard. An equivalent would be people watching true crime and then actually dealing with death in their real lives. It’s very different. There’s a protection that gets completely wiped away when a tv or computer screen isn’t there and you’re just in a room with a body. Wide story: a teenage girl was killed in my town and everyone was looking for her body. Websleuths were going nuts on forums and the whole “I think she’s here, let’s go look for her corpse!” mentality was getting gross. When her body was found, she suddenly was treated like a person and all the talking stopped. They realized she was a human, a child who was murdered, a child who has parents, friends, grandparents, a whole community….sadly it took finding her body for them to realize that.

She made me stop fearing death. It used to keep me up at night thinking about how much I have to do before I die, (im 22) and now, I think about her smiling and saying "hello future corpses" with a certainty that, yes I will die, but I have a long time to get used to it, and I get to choose everything I do before then, and what happens after, and I'm getting better with the anxiety of it all.

Like a Tibetan sky "burial" where they feed bodies to vultures. Then they take the bones, and grind them up and mix into feed for non-vulture birds.

@@ChiakiMotomaru The bones are left intact, vultures aren't that strong. Afterwards workers (in Tibet at least) smash the bones and mix them with flour and butter, and bake a delicious cake! Sorry, I mean they feed the bone / flour / butter mix to crows and other birds. But if you asked one nicely they might keep your skull for you, you'd have to go to Tibet and arrange it with them. I don't know how happy they'd be to sky-bury someone who's not Tibetan or a Buddhist, you might have to bullshit them about it, and make up some mystical reason about your skull, get a relative to supervise when it happens. I also don't know (surprisingly ignorant on Tibetan death law, I apologise) if Tibetans allow you to be shipped in ready-dead, or you'd have to live and die there. You can find out. Or else move to some place with a desert, vultures, and poor legal oversight.

[@DeValiere_]

As a Kiwi, I can still remember the first time I saw "Carry Me Back" - a 1981 New Zealand comedy about two sons having to get their father's corpse back to the family farm (I think it was an inheritance thing). They wrapped him in this pristine yellow hotel blanket, tied it neatly and set off. I don't recall much of the plot, just how that pristine yellow bedspread slowly got darker, and more and more stained as the movie went on... You never saw the corpse, but you got the idea pretty well.

[@helpmyspaghettiiseatingme]

Thought so, it was for the #drama

[@edstella]

That's part of what bothers me about the show. It's not a show's responsibility to educate people on history. Their responsibility isn't even to make a good show-- it's to make money for their studio. People should take the initiative to learn themselves because if you have access to the internet, finding reading material that's true, vetted, peer-reviewed, relevant, etc isn't a huge task. BUT the people writing the show and producers knew and know most people are just going to take it as truth. If not truth, then "historical fiction" (that everyone knows is true like a public secret, but is somehow too polite to confirm). But it's not. It's like a movie going "based on true events" when all they get right is people's names and they drama and sex up the rest. In an age where misinformation has disseminated so widely to bloody, disastrous effect and it takes 100x more work to prove truth than spread one lie (and you still don't convince people), that show is a mistake. Caitlyn talked about calm discourse at the start, and that show could've done that, but they didn't. The fact they had to greatly dramatize real people's lives and the lives of their loved ones that still feel the impact of their passings tells me the writers didn't have the chops to just do their own original content.

That sucks that being eaten by animals is illegal considering it’s the most natural thing. I love the idea of cremated remains inside of animal feed, but I’d rather have animals straight up eat my body.

[@officert5147]

Username checks out lol

[@Khenfu_Cake]

It's natural, yes. But I'm worried about the risks we put on these animals due to our modern food industry making it easy for pathogens like prion diseases to become a lot more common among our livestock and then eventually ourselves. Prion diseases in nature are incredibly rare, the only times we can claim they have been an epidemic have been due to human practices (see Kuru and BSE/vCJD as examples: they were both essentially human made plagues). I'm not that worried about bacteria or viruses since it's rare for most of them to infect via consumption of a carcass. For the ones that do we can simply prohibit feeding bodies infected with those pathogens to other animals. It's not unusual to demand certain funeral practices due to the risk of disease transmission. For example when smallpox was still around it was mandatory in most countries to cremate anyone who died from the disease, due to the smallpox virus's propensity for persisting for quite a while in a sort of dormant state while still remaining infectious. The pathogens I'm worried about are the prion diseases, since not even cremation can fully break down the proteins. You can also carry a misfolded prion around without ever getting sick yourself, but it could infect someone else upon your death via consumption. I suppose one way to go about it is the removal of the brain and spine since they carry a much higher risk of transmission than the other parts of your body. I mean, don't get me wrong; I'm all for allowing people to have their bodies fed to animals upon death, if that is their wish. But I still think it's important to remember we humans don't exactly live like our ancestors in pre historic times did. Our industrialized society and food production practices have definitely changed the pathogen transmission patterns quite a bit, and I simply do not think it wise to blindly risk passing these problems on to other animals (and in the long run back to ourselves again). At the very least we could employ some safety measures 😊

[@misseselise3864]

agreed

[@misseselise3864]

@@Khenfu_Cake prion disease is incredibly rare in the wild and domesticated. there’s 6 kinds of prion disease & 300 cases a year combined. family history is the main cause. very rarely, infection from contaminated tissue in a transplant or unclean surgery tools can cause it. you can also get variant creutzfeldt-jakob disease (VCJD) from eating meat infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (aka mad cow disease). we don’t give livestock prion disease, they give us prion disease

[@Khenfu_Cake]

@@misseselise3864 We could if we fed ourselves to them. Kuru spread via funeral cannibalism among the Fore people in Papua New Guinea, so that was definitely humans infecting other humans. Most people when infected likely won't ever get sick, but they probably could pass it on to someone who might get sick. This is the reason why it's prohibited here in Denmark to become a blood donor if you have lived in the UK in the 80's and 90's due to the BSE Crisis. The point I was making is that prion diseases are rare, yes, but our meat production practices have absolutely (the BSE Crisis as I reckon you probably know about already occured due to feeding bone meal from cattle to other cattle; effectively spreading the disease to entire herds and then eventually humans) made them more likely to occur via transmission of the misfolded prions. Obviously the risk is very low but considering prion diseases are always 100% deadly and you can't really get rid of them when they have first manifested in a population (and you can't sterilize remains either), there's no reason why we can't take some precautions. Edit: and no; I'm not a vegan preaching about dangers of eating meat or anything like that. I gladly eat meat lol. I simply care about how pathogens spill over between species and how our behaviour influences this. F.ex. deforestation forcing wild animals closer to us and our livestock; this is how the Nipah virus spilled over to pigs from fruit bats and then eventually humans. Or in the case with prion diseases; the way we feed and process our livestock.

[@isabellamori299]

STORY TIME! I attended an overdose in a hotel room and knew he was dead as soon as I got in the door. There's a kind of stillness that nothing living has. I had to make sure, obviously, and so while I was also calling 911 I checked; no pulse, his eyes were clouded, he was that special kind of beige-grey, and, as he was face-down I started pulling up on his shoulder and his whole body turned with it. Rigor mortis is def a thing. I rolled him back to his original position in case the police ended up involved. 911 is yelling at me to do CPR, and I'm telling her look, this guy is gone, and in the process, drop a heavy walkie-talkie from about two feet above right onto his shoulder blade, picked it up, and somehow promptly dropped it again on exactly the same spot. The guy was definitely dead, because that would have hurt like a mother, especially the second time. RIP, Bud, sorry about that. EMTs get there, one look, they're like, oh yeah, he's dead. You can just tell, as soon as you enter the room, especially if you grew up on a farm. Dead mammals are the same, people, goats, whatever you got.
