Faking Death

I always imagined dying to be a struggle. Maybe if you are strangled, that would be the case. But after yesterday's fainting episode, I'm wondering if it's more like fainting... the body shuts down without you realizing it and then you're gone!

OR even if you knew you were losing consciousness, like I did, you couldn't help but slip uncontrollably into the dark and you wouldn't know that you did lose consciousness until you've woken up from it.

When I did wake up, I was so refreshed by it, I thought I could start walking again. Wrong.

But guess what? I can now finally relate to the phrase "died peacefully". It's just a permanent form of lost consciousness isn't it?
