You had a bad experience which, quite understandably, impacted on your memory and subconsciously you have taken on board that 'this' is what dying is like.

But of course that isn't so. Death comes to us in many ways. Sometimes she lingers, but mostly she doesn't. People die peacefully in their sleep, or suddenly. I don't have figures, but lingering or 'dramatic' deaths like you are alluding to are not the norm.

A few times I have nearly choked! Not pleasant, but not a NDE. Things happen. It doesn't mean anything.

If you concentrate your thoughts on something you magnify its 'potency'. Thus a worry becomes a fear! Fear becomes panic!

Enjoy life. Render Service. When it's your 'time', it's your 'time'. No cause to worry. Make the most of now.
