Personally, I've been dead more than once. Flatlined at least three times I know of, jump started each time. Been in two comas that lasted over a week. In each case I could have "passed on" and that would have been that. Each time you have a deep, dreamless sleep you are effectively dead. If you die in your sleep you won't notice it. So you've already had practice at being dead and it wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was just "not".

I wasn't here for the longest time, now I am, and I'll not be here for another very long time. The "now I am" part is all I can work with, so I'll be having fun, doing things I think need to be done, and loving it while I got it.
