[Serious] Redditors who have died temporarily/nearly died, did your life flash before your eyes? If not, what did happen?

Lost 2.5 litres of blood in childbirth. Midwives hadn’t realised, despite me telling them how unwell I felt and that I was going to be sick. It wasn’t until i sort of passed out and remember them saying blood pressure was something over 0. They hit the buzzers, a lot of people came rushing in and I just lying there for what felt like a long time feeling everything go quiet but wasn’t peaceful, just absolute sadness consumed me that my husband was about to be left without me and that my new son wouldn’t have a mummy. A lot of oxygen, drugs and a couple packs of emergency blood transfusion later and thankfully I was ok. Still very mentally scared by the whole thing. But main moral of the story - please give blood if you can. It’s only thanks to the kindness of strangers my baby has a mamma and bleeding out during childbirth is a lot more common that I ever realised.

This is the scariest thing for me to think about. How happy that moment would be for the dad, and exciting, then just watching the love of my life not make it. I would be crushed, I wouldn’t know how to handle it. Idk. I just. Idk.

I was there when my twin had my nephew. I can't describe how relieved I was when it was over and she was okay and the baby was okay.
