Life may actually flash before your eyes

It takes about 4 and 1/2 minutes after breathing and pulse stops for irreversible brain damage to start.

I'm good with all that. If my life flashes before my eyes, I just love a parade.

Recall the time they switched off the ICU equipment on my father. The doctor told me to speak because that would be the last thing my father heard.

I can not imagine how difficult that would be.

So sorry for your loss, Jim. Been there myself so I know it hurts.

Given thirty seconds prior notice meant no time to dwell on the matter and act quickly but boy, did it hurt shortly thereafter.

They say time is a great healer but I'm not totally convinced it is.

Time heals very little. It may make things a little easier to deal with, that's all.

I wonder if that "30 seconds" is in the perception an actual lifetime, time wise?
As in it is perceived that way?
