I work as a mortuary assistant, and as a result, I’m closely connected to everything related to this field (thanatopractors, funeral homes, cemeteries, etc.).

I’ve noticed several things that I can't really explain:

Often, when people die, it happens in waves. There can be periods with no deaths at all, and then suddenly around ten in a short span, from completely different places.

People who are close to death seem to be able to "pause" their passing in the sense that they may hold on just to see a particular person one last time. As long as they haven’t seen that person, they seem to resist dying.

>the Bible says that when man first sinned, death "entered" the world
I wonder if that means anything deeper than there just being death now, like is "death" a being after all?

Sorry to be a bit off topic but How do I get my foot in the door into the career field?

I've been very interested in thanatology or hospice care for some time and I want meaningful work. I view death as the most sacred and beautiful thing in the world and deify it. Not in some edgy "rawr dark spooky" goth way. Sometimes as Azrael, Kali Maa, mahakala, La Santa Muerte I call upon her/it by many names and love her/it deeply. I feel as though the best way I can honor the holy mother is by understanding and witnessing the process while helping those go to her in the most peace joy and removal of fear of death possible, at the end of the day i have no idea if there's an afterlife or reincarnation same as everyone else (who isn't a conman) but if the dying are given peace of mind and compassion hopefully their minds will be in a good place and they'll reincarnate in a higher realm or achieve moksha

I consider death being a traumatic experience close to a dream that you wake up from in 5 seconds before experiencing either a heaven or hell in childhood

What would it mean for a person to die in their sleep being equivalent against those who die randomly to a mass adoption of people choosing to prefer sleeping in? I suggest it could lead to a wipeout of "souls"

You can get a funeral service cert or mortuary science degree with one or two years training respectively.

There's another field called a 'death doula' or death midwife. It's sort of like new age hospice but I think they offer more emotional and practical guidance to the person and family.

Hospice has changed in the last 15 years according to one worker I talked to. It's more of a machine to hurry things along but not so aggressively as to be called 'euthanasia' even though that's what it essentially is. I visited a hospice floor at a local hospital. They just put a diaper on people and give them enough Ativan and morphine so they don't want to eat and can't leave the bed and they die within a week or less. Very creepy and vastly different than what I thought it would be.

It used to be houses with 4-5 bedrooms and 1-2 workers to attend to them full time but the state Medicare system f'd that up so now you either go to one of those hospice death floors or someone comes to your home 3 times a week which is nothing for someone that's dependent on care. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of poor people are getting the pillow from family members when doing hospice at home as taking care of a slowly dying person is expensive and exhausting.

To the OP's point - I have also seen the "pause" in dying for one last visit from a loved one, last rites from a priest, make it through a particular holiday.

Could be solar forcing. Geomagnetic storms can apply pressure to the heart, triggering heart attacks or similar biological system collapses related to the heart.

>People who are close to death seem to be able to "pause" their passing in the sense that they may hold on just to see a particular person one last time.
Similar to people with Alzheimer's having a moment of clarity before the disease claims them. There does seem to be evidence for a reserve of energy that's held onto and released when we 'accept' that we're going to pass.

Have you come across any post-death synchronicities? Funerals, for example, where the attendees swear by the events occurring that the subject's presence was confirmed. Maybe stories people have shared about unusual events that felt like messages from beyond the grave?

When my father passed, I experienced a string of moments that were all symbolically themed about not leaving my city at that moment. A series of delays that, on their own wouldn't be noteworthy, but all taken together indicated something unusual.

Do you think its simply willpower to live? Does that actually work? Can a person consciously choose to let go of their grasp on life at a certain point, after their desire is fulfilled?

>CHACO CANYON, THE DRAGONS LAIR OR SIPAPU

>The principal Control Central of the southwestern grid of North America was Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, a Dragon Community built over one of the Anasazis’ (the “Ancient Ones”) principal dragons’ lairs or “sipapus.” The sipapus, meaning “navels,” were believed by the Anasazis to unite Heaven and Earth to the underworld as well as to connect the current Fourth World with the previous three Worlds. Because of its special importance as a major sipapu, a large percentage of Anasazi roads, most of which were built over pre-existing dragon lines, led to the metropolis of Chaco.

>In its heyday the Dragon Community of Chaco Canyon was comprised of innumerable subterranean temples known as Kivas interspersed among 12 huge pueblos which provided accommodations for over 7000 people. The kivas, meaning “worlds below,” were apparently built over the minor vortexes of Chaco. They were large circular holes in the ground which supplied each clan (snake, bear, antelope etc.) with a meeting place and ceremonial theater. Their different diameters were believed to have possibly generated a variety of frequencies, perhaps corresponding to the seven chakra centers.

Gore doesn't affect me. For example, I have vertigo and a fear of heights, so I wouldn't work as a window cleaner on tall buildings. What I mean is that because death and gore don't affect me, that's exactly why this job was an option for me

I'm considering becoming not a doctor, but a nurse specialized in organ, tissue, and cornea retrieval. In my country, so many people are against it that the nurse in charge of this role only performs the procedure maybe 15 to 20 times a year. The rest of the time, she just hangs around with us it’s almost like a fake job, to be honest

I work in a mortuary, but I’ve had the chance to talk with people who work in palliative care, which is the stage just before mine. They told me that when people are about to die maybe not within the hour, but a few days before patients or future deceased often start talking to themselves or to their parents, even though their parents are obviously long dead, since the patients themselves are around 80 or 90 years old

I do think there's a will to live. According to my colleagues, who had the chance to work with the living before working with the dead like I do, people fight. Those who lose their morale tend to give up and are overtaken by illness or death

Man I have been in a youth clinic were I was given medication that completely suppresed my appetite. I wondered if it was for a behaviorial change but now I see it was to kill old folks. I've tried fasting, starvation makes you lose concioussness and makes you anxious

I wonder how that works. My elderly relative has Alzheimer’s after a few strokes and has been on and off hospice a few times. He’s still kicking but doesn’t remember much.
He did ask about seeing his son a few weeks ago, so a couple months after that son passed away unexpectedly. Nobody told him that had happened(no point as he wouldn’t remember anyway) but he was apparently acting like the son would walk in at any moment. Family thought it might be his time to go but he’s doing just fine.
