We can offer, let's say, two author's classifications of types of death with access to a certain empiricism, pragmatism:
1. Sudden, i.e. the one that a person does not expect, does not predict. For example, it can be a heart attack, a car accident, a "brick on the head". And here, from the perspective of the ongoing research, we can only say that "a wise person thinks about those things that a fool prefers not to think about (is afraid of)." Unpacking the thesis, one can gain an extremely important, essential understanding that a person does not really know whether he will live tomorrow, we only assume this and one day we make a mistake. Understanding the finiteness of our stay on earth gives both sadness (obvious, staying on consciousness) and joy (subconscious), liberation; as well as, when carrying out the work of comprehension, it gives concentration on what is really important and puts things more vain, perishable in their proper positions. In our vision, the essential, priority is the content of the noetic dimension: the products of understanding the experience gained and self-knowledge. Regarding the psychological support of relatives in case of sudden/unexpected death of a person, information is provided in the relevant section below.
2. Painful, accompanied primarily by physical suffering and pain. It is normal for a person (his "earthly" component) to try to avoid pain. So, few of us go to the dentist with joy, and more often they should go there when the tooth already hurts or in fear (prevention) of the expected pain. At the same time, it is the negative that potentially brings the greatest gifts of awareness and before escaping from pain and suffering, you need to touch it, enter it, understand what for (not why and for which) it came to you. But there are also levels of pain of such strength that it is simply not possible to remain conscious (most often these are neglected options that came to a person earlier in much weaker signals, to which he chose not to pay due attention22). History knows examples when person endured inhuman trials, so one general played chess with a friend while a doctor amputated his arm without anesthesia. However, most likely this is not about you and me, my dear reader, in any case, the author does not consider himself to be such titans.
