What was going on around you while you were dying?

What was going on around you while you were dying?

This is hypothetical of course because someone who dies would not be able to answer this question.

Imagine that you did die though and you were able to answer this question, feel free to use your imagination and whatever date and events you so please.

As you lay in bed (or another location) dying, unable to communicate with those around you. You can hear what is going on, perhaps on a TV, radio or internet broadcast or simply other people talking about current events.

For me...

I can see family and loved ones in the room with me, I am unable to respond to them but I can hear everything they are saying. They are talking about me as if I am already gone, what funeral home to use, who to notify and what jobs each family member should be doing to help out afterwards.

This irritates me a little but I don't want to be angry with them, as this has been a long time coming. I forgive them all as they don't realize that I can still hear them talking even if I can't communicate with them.

I also hear on the TV about various crimes, and flooding happening due to heavy snowfall melting to quickly.

I hear a lot of crying, I am getting a lot of hugs and people coming up to whisper to me, that they love me as they are crying and burst into tears.

There is a revolving door of people coming and going, and the occasional prayers of comfort.

Many are holding my hand and talking to me in ways I wish that they had when I was healthy and strong, and a tear comes down from my left eye. As the only way I acknowledge to them, that I heard them as I am unable to move or respond any other way.

A nurse comes in and gives me morphine now and then to ease any pain and suffering I may have, which then knocks me out. I wake up hours later but my eyes are only half open and I can no longer see others, eventually I hear the talking from loved ones get softer as I fade away.
