They say you get a moment where the pain caused by your body fighting to stay alive goes away. It’s not that it becomes painless, but the body really struggles as it fights and it manifests as shaking, fevers, sweating, coughing, your body is trying to wring you out like a dishrag. Those things go away.
The yearning for these spaces to mirror that inner experience is a yearning for some kind of symmetry or sense or logic to the universe in a moment that your relationship to reality is tested: the exact moment you are asked to let go of it.
“They say” a lot of things about dying, but I’ve never heard someone who went through it say much. Except for our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Do you have a moment to talk about the Lord? It could be worth an eternity in heaven.
