I know that a lot of you have lost loved ones to tragedies like my experience nearly was and must have wondered how your loved ones felt if they knew they were going to die. I guess maybe everyones reactions may be different but felt to share my story and how I felt when I knew I was going to die. I hope it may help in some way.

When I was 11 I was out at sea with my dinghy when a massive freak wave came towards me, I wasn't sure what to do whether to try and ride it or try and get to shore. I chose the later but of course the wave came upon me to quickly and crashed down right on top of me pulling me under into the current. I was spinning round so fast I had no idea which way was up or anything and there was no way I was going to be able to get out and I knew there was no one around nearby. I had accepted that I was going to die but all I remember  is feeling a tremendous peace and almost curiosity about what would happen next, I felt no fear at all. I don't know if that is normal, whether other people have had the same experience but I know that had I died then I would not have been afraid, I guess I don't fear death now, only maybe the pain and sufering that may happen before. I think I fear life more, there is so much pain and suffering. Hugs. Babs
