Causes of death and the process of dying - an enchanted soul. Causes of death: natural, violent, due to illness

According to medical statistics, 90 percent of sudden deaths in people aged 25 to 45 are due to pulmonary embolism associated with varicose veins.

- In our country, every second woman and every fifth man suffer from varicose veins, so pulmonary thromboembolism is more dangerous for women. According to scientific data, in the United States 250-300 thousand people die from this diagnosis a year, in Europe - 150 thousand people, in Russia - much more, the figures I have given can be safely multiplied by two. Although the statistics may say otherwise, because often sudden deaths from pulmonary embolism in our country are attributed to a heart attack or other heart diseases, says Yuri Khafizov.

To avoid such a dangerous disease - varicose veins, you need to watch your legs. The first signs of varicose veins, the doctor called causeless swelling of the legs, often only one of them, spider veins, nodules on the veins of the legs.

- If you notice such changes in yourself, I advise you to see a therapist or phlebologist. By the way, there is no shortage of these narrow specialists in Chelny,” Yury Salmanovich told us.

In addition, you need to deal with the prevention of this disease, do special exercises, wear compression underwear.

- These exercises are completely easy, they can be done at any opportunity - sitting at work, standing at a bus stop (see diagram). And modern compression underwear - stockings, stockings, tights - looks quite attractive, sometimes even more beautiful than usual, says the doctor.

But there are other risks of sudden death from pulmonary thromboembolism. Among them are long flights on airplanes, trips to the mountains, non-compliance with the water regime, pregnancy. To protect yourself, Yuri Khafizov advises wearing compression underwear on airplanes, drinking at least 1.5-2 liters of water a day, not forgetting about the drinking regime in the mountains, and pregnant women should also wear special underwear.

Not the last role is played by heredity.

- A young girl came to my appointment recently, she is a little over 20 years old. She said that the father was buried in the family when he was 30 years old, the brother, who turned 27. They suffered from varicose veins and died suddenly from thromboembolism. In the patient, we found the initial stage of varicose veins, which we managed to take under control, now the risk of developing the same scenario of the disease in her is significantly reduced, - says Yuri Salmanovich.

There are other, less common diagnoses that provoke sudden death from thrombosis - these are obesity, atrial fibrillation, hypertension.

According to the doctor, varicose veins and thromboembolism are mankind's price for walking upright. And most of all, the disease affects those who, due to their professional activities, are forced to stand a lot - surgeons, hairdressers, sellers.

Phase of "primary devastation"

On the 5th day after irradiation, the level of most formed elements in the blood begins to fall - phase of "primary devastation".

Clinically, this phase manifests itself when the cell content drops to a critically low level. This time determines the duration of the hidden period.

Dose Determination

total irradiation of the body according to the content of leukocytes in peripheral blood for 7-9 days after irradiation

The duration of the latent period is shorter, the higher the dose

irradiation:

In mild ARS, the latent period may end in 30 or more days;

With an average form - after 15-30 days;

In severe form - after 5-20 days;

With an extremely severe form, there may be no latent period.

III. The peak period.

Occurs when the number of blood cells falls below a critical level:

In addition, there is:

toxemia,

predominance of catabolism over anabolism,

vegetative dystonia,

autoimmune lesions.

But the basis of the lesion is a violation of the hematopoietic function.

IV. Recovery period

If death does not occur during the peak period

regenerative processes in the hematopoietic system lead to an increase in the number of mature blood cells

there is an elimination of the symptoms of the peak period.

During this period, there is a complete or partial normalization of the functions of the critical systems of the body.

Prognosis for life in ARS:

Mild degree - favorable;

Moderate - favorable with proper treatment;

Severe - doubtful, even intensive complex therapy is not always successful.

Ability to work in ARS:

Mild degree - retained. During the 2nd month of illness, restriction of heavy physical labor is required;

Medium degree - by the beginning of the 3rd month of the disease, it is possible to return to light work, and after a year - to normal activities;

Severe degree - performance is not fully restored. Light work is possible from the 4th month of illness.

Intestinal form of ARS:

With total irradiation at a dose of 10-20 Gy, the intestinal form of ARS develops, the basis of which is intestinal syndrome.

It is associated with damage and death of small intestinal epithelial cells. This damage results in:

cessation of resorption from the lumen of the small intestine of water and

electrolytes

dehydration develops; violation of the barrier function of the intestinal wall

toxic substances (E. coli toxins) enter

into blood and lymph

During the height of the intestinal form of ARS:

feeling worse,

diarrhea develops.

body temperature rises

oropharyngeal syndrome develops,

dehydration,

intoxication,

endogenous infection.

Under the condition of treatment, those affected with the intestinal form of ARS can live up to two and even two and a half weeks. Causes of death can be:

pancytopenic syndrome;

Accession of a secondary infection;

Sudden death occurs as a result of a fast-paced latent or clinically pronounced disease state. As medical practice shows, sudden death in adults often occurs due to acute coronary insufficiency, congenital or acquired cardiac and vascular pathologies. Find out what symptoms may indirectly indicate a hidden threat.

What is sudden death

According to international medical recommendations, the sudden death of a person is considered within 6 hours after the onset of the first symptoms of a pathological condition. Instant death, or in translation into English sudden death, occurs without a known cause. In addition, there are no morphological signs based on which, at autopsy, an appropriate diagnosis can be made about the sudden death of the patient.

Nevertheless, in the course of a post-mortem examination of a person, a pathologist, having compared all the available data, can make a logical conclusion about the instantaneous or violent death of a person. In most cases, in favor of instantaneous death, such changes in organs speak in which the continuation of life for the shortest period of time is impossible.

Causes of sudden death

Statistical data show that the main cause of most deaths are heart diseases: ischemic pathology, the onset of ventricular fibrillation. At the same time, answering what causes instant death, experts often call chronic ailments that last for a long time in a latent form, after which they suddenly become aggravated and lead to an unexpected death of a person. One such deadly disease is cancer.

In most cases, oncology develops asymptomatically and makes itself felt when the patient is often already considered hopeless. Thus, malignant liver disease is the main cause of unexpected deaths in China. Another insidious disease that can lead to sudden death is AIDS, which claims millions of lives every year in Africa. In addition, it is worth mentioning separately about Mexico. This is the only country in which cirrhosis of the liver is the main cause of high mortality in the population.

In young age

Today, young men and women are exposed to the negative influence of the modern lifestyle every day. From the TV screens, the covers of fashion magazines, the cult of a slender (often dystrophic) body, accessibility and promiscuity is imposed on young people. Therefore, it is quite clear that the mortality rate of people who are just starting their life path will increase over time. The main causes of instant death among boys and girls under the age of 25 are considered to be:

• alcohol;
• smoking;
• promiscuity;
• drug addiction
• malnutrition;
• psychological susceptibility;
• hereditary diseases;
• severe congenital pathologies.

In a dream

Unexpected death in this state occurs due to the loss of special cells responsible for the contractility of the lungs. So, scientists from the USA managed to prove that people die in their sleep in most cases due to central sleep apnea. At the same time, a person can even wake up, but still leave this mortal world due to oxygen starvation caused by a stroke or cardiac arrest. As a rule, this syndrome affects people of advanced age. There is no specific treatment for central sleep apnea.

Sudden infant death

This syndrome was first described in the early 60s of the last century, although cases of instantaneous death of infants were recorded earlier, but they were not subjected to such a thorough analysis. Small children have very high adaptive abilities and incredible resistance to a variety of negative factors, so the death of an infant is considered to be an exceptional situation. However, there are a number of external and internal causes that can lead to sudden infant death:

• prolongation of the Q-T interval;
• apnea (periodic breathing phenomenon);
• deficiency of serotonin receptors;
• overheat.

Risk factors

Due to the fact that ischemic disease is the main cardiogenic cause of instant death, it is quite logical to assume that the syndromes associated with this pathology of the heart can be fully attributed to conditions that can increase the likelihood of sudden death. With all this, it has been scientifically proven that this connection is mediated through the underlying disease. Clinical risk factors for the development of clinical death among patients with ischemic syndrome are:

• acute myocardial infarction;
• post-infarction macrofocal sclerosis;
• unstable angina;
• heart rhythm disturbance due to ischemic changes (rigid, sinus);
• ventricular asystole;
• myocardial damage;
• episodes of loss of consciousness;
• damage to the coronary (cardiac) arteries;
• diabetes;
• electrolyte imbalance (eg, hyperkalemia);
• arterial hypertension;
• smoking.

How sudden death occurs

This syndrome develops in a matter of minutes (rarely hours) without any warning among complete well-being. In most cases, instant death affects young men between the ages of 35 and 43. In this case, often during the pathoanatomical examination of the dead, vascular causes of the onset of sudden death are found. So, studying the increasing cases of instant death, experts came to the conclusion that the main provoking factor in the occurrence of this syndrome is a violation of coronary blood flow.

With heart failure

In 85% of cases, an instant lethal outcome is recorded in individuals with structural anomalies of the organ that pumps blood into the vessels. At the same time, sudden cardiac death looks like a lightning-fast clinical variant of coronary disease. Medical practice shows that a quarter of people who die instantly, before the onset of primary symptoms, bradycardia and episodes of asystole are observed. Death from cardiac arrest occurs due to the launch of the following pathogenetic mechanisms:

• Reducing the fractional ejection of the left ventricle by 25-30%. This syndrome greatly increases the risk of sudden coronary death.
• An ectopic focus of automatism in the ventricle (more than 10 ventricular extrasystoles per hour or unstable ventricular tachycardia), which occurs as a result of ventricular arrhythmias. The latter mostly develop against the background of acute transient myocardial ischemia. The ectopic focus of automatism is usually qualified as a risk factor for sudden arrhythmic death.
• The process of spasm of the vessels of the heart, which leads to ischemia and contributes to the deterioration of the restoration of blood flow to damaged areas.

It should be noted that tachyarrhythmia is a particularly significant electrophysiological mechanism that causes sudden coronary death in a person with heart failure. At the same time, timely treatment of this condition using a defibrillator with a modified pulse configuration significantly reduces the number of deaths among patients who have undergone sudden cardiac arrest.

From a heart attack

The blood supply to the heart is carried out through the coronary arteries. If their lumen is closed, the formation of primary foci of necrosis, ischemia in the heart occurs. Acute manifestation of cardiac pathology begins with damage to the vascular wall with further thrombosis and spasm of the arteries. As a result, the load on the heart increases, the myocardium begins to experience oxygen starvation, which affects its electrical activity.

As a result of a sudden coronary spasm, ventricular fibrillation occurs, after a few seconds there is a complete cessation of blood circulation in the brain. At the next stage, the patient has respiratory arrest, atony, and the absence of corneal and pupillary reflexes. After 4 minutes from the onset of ventricular fibrillation and complete cessation of blood circulation in the body, irreversible changes occur in the brain cells. In general, death from a heart attack can occur in 3-5 minutes.

From a blood clot

In the venous bed, these pathological formations arise due to the uncoordinated work of the coagulation and anticoagulation systems. So, the onset of the appearance of a clot is caused by damage to the vascular wall and its inflammation against the background of thrombophlebitis. Perceiving the appropriate chemical signal, the coagulation system is activated. As a result, fibrin strands are formed near the pathological area, in which blood cells become entangled, creating all the conditions for the separation of a blood clot.

In the arteries, the formation of clots occurs due to the narrowing of the vascular lumen. So, cholesterol plaques block the free flow of blood, as a result of which a lump of platelets and fibrin filaments is formed. It is important to note that in medicine, floating and parietal thrombi are distinguished. Compared with the first type, the latter has little chance of breaking off and causing blockage (embolism) of the vessel. In most cases, the causes of sudden cardiac arrest from a thrombus are due to the movement of a floating thrombus.

One of the severe consequences of the separation of such a clot is blockage of the pulmonary artery, which is expressed in a strong cough, cyanosis of the skin. Often there is a violation of breathing with subsequent cessation of cardiac activity. An equally serious consequence of the separation of a thrombus is a violation of cerebral circulation against the background of embolism of the main vessels of the head.

Diagnosis of sudden death

A timely physical examination is the key to the success of further cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) activities. Diagnosis of instant death is based on symptoms characteristic of the natural death of the patient. Thus, the absence of consciousness is determined if no external stimuli cause reactions on the part of the resuscitated person.

Diagnosis of respiratory disorders is noted when for 10-20 s. observation fails to catch the coordinated movements of the sternum, the noise of the air exhaled by the patient. At the same time, agonal breaths do not provide proper ventilation of the lungs and cannot be interpreted as spontaneous breathing. During ECG monitoring, pathological changes characteristic of clinical death are detected:

• ventricular fibrillation or flutter;
• asystole of the heart;
• electromechanical dissociation.

Clinical manifestations

In 25% of cases, a sudden death occurs instantly without any precursors. Some patients a week before clinical death complain of various prodromal manifestations: increased pain in the sternum, general weakness, shortness of breath. It is important to note that today there are already methods for the prevention of a heart attack, based on the early diagnosis of the warning symptomatology of this condition. Immediately before the onset of sudden death, half of the patients have an anginal attack. The clinical signs of imminent death of the patient include:

• loss of consciousness;
• absence of a pulse in the carotid arteries;
• pupil dilation;
• lack of breathing or the appearance of agonal breaths;
• change in skin color from normal to gray with a bluish tint.

Medical care for sudden death

As a rule, most cases of unexpected cardiac arrest occur outside the hospital walls. For this reason, it is extremely important to master the technique of emergency care in case of sudden onset of clinical death. This is especially true for the subjects of society, which, by virtue of their official duties, are in contact with a large number of people. Remember, competently carried out resuscitation actions directly in the first minutes after the onset of symptoms of cardiac arrest will help buy time before the arrival of medical workers.

Urgent care

The main problem that occurs in unconscious persons is the obstruction of the airways by the root of the tongue and the epiglottis due to muscle atony. I must say that this condition develops in any position of the body, and when the head is tilted forward, it develops in 100% of cases. Therefore, the first thing to do is to ensure proper airway patency. For this purpose, you need to use the triple technique of P. Safar, consisting of the following sequential actions:

1. tilting the head;
2. Pushing the lower jaw forward;
3. Mouth opening.

After the patency of the airways is ensured, it is necessary to switch to artificial lung ventilation (ALV). When providing first aid, this measure is carried out by the mouth-to-mouth method. So, one hand is located on the forehead of the victim, while the other pinches his nose. Then the resuscitator fixes his own lips around the mouth of the resuscitated person and blows in air, while controlling the excursion of the patient's chest. With its visible rise, you need to release the victim's mouth, giving him a chance to make a passive exhalation.

At the next stage, artificial circulatory support is carried out, to ensure which an algorithm for conducting an indirect heart massage, or chest compression, is used. For this purpose, it is necessary to correctly lay the resuscitated person on a flat surface. Next, the compression points should be determined: by palpation of the xiphoid process and retreat from it by 2 transverse fingers up.

The hand must be placed on the border of the middle and lower part of the sternum so that the fingers are parallel to the ribs. Pushes are performed with limbs straightened at the elbows. Chest compression is performed at a frequency of 100 compressions per minute with a break for mechanical ventilation. The depth of the shocks is about 4-5 cm. Measures to restore cardiac activity should be stopped if:

1. There was a pulse in the main arteries.
2. The actions taken do not have the desired effect within 30 minutes. In this case, the following conditions that require prolongation of resuscitation are an exception:

• hypothermia;
• drowning;
• drug overdose;
• electrical injury.

Resuscitation measures

Today, the concept of CPR is based on strict rules that ensure the complete safety of ongoing activities for human life. In addition, an algorithm for the actions of a resuscitator in case of sudden cardiac arrest or a sharp loss of respiratory function in an injured person is presented and scientifically substantiated. In the development of these conditions, time plays the main role: only a few minutes separate a person from death. The algorithm for conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves the following actions:

1. Determining the condition of the victim, on the basis of which the range of measures necessary for revitalization is selected;
2. Early initiation of CPR, which involves performing two manipulations: chest compressions and mechanical ventilation.
3. If the second stage is ineffective, they proceed to defibrillation. The procedure involves the impact on the heart muscle with an electrical impulse. In this case, direct current discharges should be applied only if the electrodes are correctly positioned and in good contact with the victim's skin.
4. At this stage, as a rule, the victim is provided with specialized medical care, including the following early treatment measures:

• artificial ventilation of the lungs with tracheal intubation;
• medical support, involving the use of:
• catecholamines (adrenaline, atropine);
• antidiuretic hormones (Vasopressin);
• antiarrhythmic drugs (Cordarone, Lidocaine);
• fibrinolytic agents (streptokinase).
• intravenous drip of electrolyte or buffer solutions (for example, sodium bicarbonate is administered for acidosis)

Fires - like any manifestation of unbridled elements - always bring destruction and death with them. But those that flare up in public, residential buildings with a massive presence of people are distinguished by especially severe consequences.

The death of people in fires is largely due to the lack of fire-fighting knowledge and skills among Russian citizens. People often do not know not only elementary fire safety rules, but even the telephone number of the nearest fire station. Not to mention the actions at the initial moment of the development of a fire before the arrival of the fire brigade, about the methods of self-rescue in an extreme situation. This is especially true for residential buildings, where the largest number of fires with the death of people occurs.
What causes people to die in a fire? What you need to know about the fire to stay alive?

1. The fire is blinding, you can't see in the fire.
If you have never experienced the real factors of a fire, you will be in a state of total shock.
To your horror, you learn that in a real fire you cannot see anything. The flame makes everything black. It does not bring light. Nothing is visible, only heat and ashes, terrible darkness. You can’t navigate at all, you can’t find the exit door you know. Complete loss of orientation due to panic. The fire is black as night, which will lead to inevitable death.

In order to avoid this, use in buildings:
- emergency lighting;
- light indicators "evacuation (emergency) exit";
- fire safety signs used on escape routes,
including glowing in the dark;
- electric lights.

2. Kills smoke and gas, not flames.
A modern apartment is literally stuffed with objects: and materials that, when burned in huge quantities, emit more than 70 types of toxic substances (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide basin, diphosgene, phosgene, hydrogen cyanide, etc.). A few breaths in such an atmosphere - and a person can no longer be saved.

Basically, people die not from fire or collapsed structures, but from smoke and lack of oxygen. Moreover, more than half of those affected by smoke die at the site of the fire. 42% of the victims of the survivors get severe poisoning, one in three of them die in the hospital without regaining consciousness. About 70% of all those who died in a fire die from exposure to smoke, and the speed of its spread is high: 2-3 minutes in a corridor, 1-1.5 minutes in a stairwell of a ten-story building.

The most dangerous if a fire occurs in a residential building in the middle of the night. Do you think you'll wake up and take action? However, the scary fact is that you won't be woken up by the smell of smoke. It will only make you fall asleep more soundly. You fall into a deep sleep, as if you were under anesthesia. You cannot move. Smoke deadens your brain.

Ninety percent of the people firefighters find in the smoke look like they were asleep.

If you are in a room filled with smoke, not only can you see nothing, but you cannot breathe. It's like if you're drowning and your head is underwater. Are you scared. You forget everything you thought you knew about the fire. You get lost, you panic, you behave unpredictably. psychologically unprepared for such an extreme situation.

To combat smoke, use:
- smoke-free stairwells (due to air overpressure or floor-by-floor entrances through the outdoor air zone along balconies or loggias);
- removal of smoke from rooms, corridors through automatically opening smoke exhaust valves due to the inclusion of powerful exhaust fans;
- installation of self-closing doors with sealed porches in the corridors on the stairwells, preventing the spread of smoke;
- arrangement of an automatic fire alarm system (smoke and heat detectors, manual fire alarm buttons, fire alarm bells, fire alarm stations);
- fire warning and evacuation management systems;
- means of personal respiratory protection in case of fire;
- Autonomous fire detectors powered by batteries for apartments in residential buildings;
- group and individual rescue kits, rope ladders.

3. The heat from the fire can cause instant death. The heat is terrible. He kills. Heat alone causes death within seconds. It is very difficult to describe in words. At 65°C your body ceases to function, the lungs literally evaporate, the person loses consciousness.

In a room, a fire lasting just over one minute creates a smoke layer temperature of 370°C. If the head is unprotected, then instant death occurs. At the top, the temperature and concentration of smoke are even higher. When everything that can burn in the room burns, the heat will reach its climax. The smoke itself is ready to explode, it seems that the whole structure will fly into the air. In this heat, there is no chance of survival.

4. The fire leaves no time for reflection. We need to get out of the fire.
Most people think they have time in a fire. But this is not so, there is no time during a fire.

The fire starts in the trash can. He goes unnoticed. A minute later, the couch catches fire and smoke begins to fill the room. The temperature is rising. After two minutes, the person may lose consciousness.

Three minutes later, the whole room is on fire. Nobody else can stay alive. In four minutes the corridors will become impassable. It takes only 5 minutes for a fire inside the house to cause the death of all its inhabitants. So, from 3 to 5 minutes and the end of everything! It turns out that in a fire, time can be your worst enemy.

How long does it take to survive a kitchen fire? Most people think they have 10 minutes. But in fact, after 30 seconds, the fire will become uncontrollable. You need to have time to jump out without stopping and without thinking about things, close the door behind you (but not with a lock) and inform the fire department.

In order to have time to evacuate, there is an unshakable rule: in children's institutions, children of younger groups, preschool age are not dressed, but wrapped in a blanket and taken out of the danger zone. School students are taken out under the guidance of teachers or educators who are personally responsible for the group of children with whom they studied. In hotels for quick evacuation, it is forbidden to pack suitcases, etc.
5. In the event of a fire, panic may occur.

People get lost in panic and behave unpredictably. Sometimes more people die when panic occurs than from fire hazards. It is quite obvious that a person who is psychologically prepared and trained in such an extreme situation would behave differently.

6. The death of people in fires is largely due to the lack of elementary fire-fighting knowledge and self-defense skills among the population.
Statistics show that most people do not think about fires, do not care about the safety of their homes, neglect their own safety and the health of loved ones. This is evidenced by the lack of a fire extinguisher, which would allow to put out the started fire of a TV set, electrical appliance, fat, oil in the kitchen for the elderly, schoolchildren without any problems. Almost a few citizens have provided their apartments with commercially available autonomous fire detectors, powered by a conventional battery. They are installed in the hallway, in the kitchen, in the room, and when smoke appears, they make a sharp sound, loud enough to attract attention, wake up the sleepers. Unfortunately, in society there is a clear underestimation of the significance of the reality of the fire threat, its dangerous factors.

Evidence of this is our attitude to balconies, loggias of residential buildings. Most of them are glazed, the hatches of emergency stairs of balconies are tightly closed, openings for crossing the loggias are laid, furniture is installed in the piers. All this will not allow you to independently evacuate to a non-burning floor, stand behind the wall of a balcony or loggia in case of a fire in the apartment, if you could not leave it in time or because the main evacuation staircase was blocked by smoke. In this case, there will be little chance of surviving before the arrival of fire departments, especially for those who do not think about it today, do not have personal respiratory protection equipment, or a rope ladder, a rescue kit for evacuation through balconies, loggias, windows , an electric flashlight, and also ignores fire training at home, as citizens of developed foreign countries do.

FGKU "9th detachment of the FPS in the Altai Territory"

Everything in the universe, of course. Each of us comes to this thought. And only a person is given the ability to realize that someday he will not be. Today, we will talk about why people die. What is behind the phenomenon of death and is it possible to get rid of it? So:

Why are we dying

The process of death is divided into several stages. Biological death is always preceded by clinical death. If, during clinical death, resuscitation actions do not lead either to saving a person or to stabilizing his current state, then biological death occurs. This stage implies a complete disruption of the cells and tissues of the body. The connection between nerve cells disappears, which leads to the complete destruction of the personality, and in the future to the destruction of the entire structure of the body. As a result of the decomposition of substances, all other systems also become unusable. Science, so far, has not given a clear answer to the question of the causes of death and why people die early. It is also unclear why people age. In addition to aging and the extinction of vital body functions, death occurs as a result of injuries incompatible with life. In such situations, the human body receives an impact that it is not able to endure. This is why good people die.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance that death has had on the sociology of human society. In essence, all aggressive actions of peoples are caused by fear or admiration for death. Thanks to this phenomenon, a huge number of different rituals and traditions have been formed in society. As a result of realizing the finiteness of his existence, a person has gained his own unique worldview. The struggle for survival in society is also based on the idea of ​​its fragility. A person understands that one day he will die, so he tries to live as well and qualitatively as possible. Remember what power influences have on a person when he is threatened with death, both biological and social. It is difficult to imagine an individual who would be absolutely free from the fear of death. A person's life is a unique event that should be very good and varied. It is this idea that pushes the representatives of society to the conquest of resources and high competition. Sometimes, people die young, which has a very negative impact on society as a whole.

Death in religion is a very special case. The basic idea of ​​any religion is as follows. After the death of a person, some other life awaits, far superior in its characteristics to his present one. Some teachings can intimidate with death, but the rest speak of death as a great gift. Each religion has its own treatises on death and its purpose. For example, Christianity says that after death a person can end up in Paradise (life is better than earthly) or in Hell (life full of torment in the underworld). The rules for entering Paradise are simple - you need to live adhering to a certain model of behavior. If you deviate from the rules, a person will definitely go to Hell. Despite the scientific lack of evidence for the existence of such places as Heaven and Hell, many willingly believe that this is a reality. Thus, religion is a means of manipulating human consciousness on the basis of intimidation and encouragement of one or another behavior of an individual. If you live by the rules, you will go to Heaven. Sinner - you will burn in Hell. But can anyone confirm such an outcome of death? Probably not. At least the world does not yet know about the scientific evidence for the existence of Hell or Heaven. Thus, dear reader, death in religion is an instrument of power over people who live their lives under the yoke of low critical perception. Today, everyone is free to choose what to believe, so there are more and more atheists. However, earlier, for dissent, one could die in the fires of the Inquisition. Is it worth talking about a more striking example of the use of the power of religion over a person?

Every person is mortal, sadly. People live differently. Some die at a very, very old age. Some have been given much less. And, unfortunately, there are people who manage to live very little, just a couple of years or months.

The causes of death can be different: a serious illness - or an accident, careless handling of fire - and a fire. A person can drown or freeze. But, perhaps, you are interested in explanations of natural death, without any particular apparent apparent cause?

Surprisingly, of course, but even such a question can be answered in completely different ways. Depending on what point of view to consider this problem. The main explanation in terms of human evolution is the way to survive. It is this humanity. Well, think for yourself what would happen if people did not die, but lived forever. After all, new ones would not cease to be born. And as a result, there would be an overpopulation of the planet, there would simply be nowhere to live. People would have nowhere to fit just physically. That is, from the point of view of evolution, this is a very justified process.

If you answer, based on the knowledge of anatomy and physiology, then the causes of death are in the aging of the body. The body consists of cells united in certain systems: cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, nervous, circulatory, etc. They function constantly, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, and, of course, they wear out over time. When one (or several) of the systems wear out completely, the body stops the life process, and the rest of the systems automatically stop working. The person is dying.

Religion also explains the process and causes of death, but from its own, special point of view. According to the Bible and the Gospels, God created people for eternal and happy life. The first man was, as you know, Adam. And, having breathed life into him, God gave him one main commandment-parting word: do not pick or eat an apple from the tree of knowledge. At the same time, he warned that by eating this fruit, a person dies. But the man was weak in spirit. And not even himself, but the first woman on earth, Eve, picked this apple and invited Adam to try it. And then their eternal life ended. People began to get sick, grow old, their body became decrepit, and their soul became tired. And as a result, Adam and Eve died. And since all their descendants came from this particular pair, they also adopted all the features of their parents, which means they ever died. That is, religion explains the cause of human mortality in the fact that they disobeyed God. But he immediately reassures the believers, arguing that righteous people who did not sin during their lifetime, fulfilled all universal and divine commandments, fall into the Kingdom of God, and therefore live forever. Well, at least - their soul. It is difficult to verify or refute this version of the explanation. And death, whatever its causes, is always sad and hard. Especially if someone close to you dies. But this is one of the main laws of life, and we all obey them.

Features of human dying

Death has a technical and biological side. The technical side is connected with the termination of the human life program, the separation of the soul from the body and its trapping by certain subtle devices with further direction to the separator, i.e., the place of its processing and storage. Biological death is associated with the inclusion of decay processes for the material body and the separation of temporary energy bodies from the soul.

Death occurs when the individual reaches the last point of his program, which includes the very situation of death and all the events associated with it.

Each person dies in their own way. Death is individual. But let's think Why do some people die easily and others – long suffering? Why do some people die in a hospital bed and others – in some kind of disaster? Does something affect the form of death?

How a person dies is influenced by their past life and the choices they make in their present life. That is, how correctly he fulfilled the program given to him from Above.

There are many reasons for death and features of its course. Let's name just a few.

1) If a person has accurately fulfilled his program, then his death will be easy and painless. For example, some people fall asleep and do not wake up, or a person walked, walked, fell - and immediately died, that is, he fell from an instantaneous cardiac arrest. This is how people die who have fulfilled their program and have not incurred energy debts.

It is very important for a person not to leave energy debts.

2) Those souls that are destroyed as a marriage, as those who have not succeeded in development, can also die instantly, but in a different way. For example, it can be instant death in a car accident, from an accident: a person was walking down the street, and a brick fell on his head. Instant death from a bullet is also considered non-painful. A quick death does not carry torment for a person. That is, we still see the difference between death in the first and in the second case.

Both those and other people die instantly, without feeling pain and suffering, but for married souls the very nature of death is different, not the same as for people who lived correctly and fulfilled their program.

In the second case, there is fear, stress, surprise. This allows the soul to get rid of the body faster and gives the starting energy for the ascent Up. After all, defective souls accumulate negative energies in themselves and cannot rise on their own, therefore, through fear, shock, they are given additional energy to rise to the upper layers.

3) They suffer before the death of the soul who made some mistakes, missed some types of energies in the matrix, i.e., in some way did not fulfill their life program in the present or the past. The program contains options. Therefore, often By his actions in the present, a person chooses for himself the form of his death in the future.

Some people die from diseases of certain organs, mainly those that underdeveloped and underdelivered the required type of energies to the corresponding planets during the life of a person in a past or present incarnation. Through the disease, as we have already said in the first part, the body produces the necessary energy and the person's energy debts are compensated.

Suppose a person has been eating improperly all his life, has not followed diets that cleanse the body. As a result, his digestive organs were producing junk—energy of a much poorer quality than if he had eaten properly. And any program requires the right actions from a person. If a person did not produce the energies that his program required, then he had an energy debt. In order to cancel it already in this life, human organs are built in such a way that diseases develop in them if they work incorrectly. And any disease is built in such a way (and this is specially laid by the Higher in the structure of the human body) that the diseased organ begins to give out clean energy, exactly the one that was required by the human program. Therefore, any illness clears and eliminates some debts of the individual.

It is very important for a person to fulfill a life program. Failure to comply with it affects the disease during life, and the form of his death.

4) The form of death is also affected by karma. If a person killed someone in the past, then in the present life he himself will be killed. This is already planned on the basis of the law of cause and effect and the laws of morality. A person is brought up morally, therefore they force him to experience for himself what he does to others. This raises his consciousness.

5) Some patients suffer before death not only because of the failure to fulfill their program, but also to test their relatives in order to reveal their true attitude towards the patient, to test their human qualities. After all, while a person is healthy, there is one attitude towards him, and when he falls ill, the attitude can change and relatives can become heartless and indifferent. And for this they usually combine karma the sick and the karma of relatives.

6) Or take the death of babies. For what reason can such a short life and incomprehensible death be given?

When a baby dies, in this case they also combine the karma of the parents and the soul that is born and immediately dies. Birth is accompanied by a great outburst of energy, which the soul did not work out for the hierarchical System in a past life. And even one birth and death is enough to cover past debts. After all, a person has duties not only to himself, but also to those who launch him into this life. He is obliged to produce energy for the Higher Personalities who are in the subtle world and watch over humanity.

Therefore, if the Higher Ones did not receive some type of energy, They will force a person to pay off these debts.

The truth of life is harsh. Sometimes such truths are revealed that they shock our consciousness. But always the cause of all unpleasant deaths or short lives is the person himself.

7) Or take another example. If a person leads a dissolute, riotous life, then he misuses the funds allocated by the Higher to organize his life on Earth, therefore, he accumulates energy debts with his wrong behavior.

But a person must understand that when he performs the right actions that correspond to the highest morality of society, his personal program and the requirements of the Highest, he produces through his actions those types of energies that are planned by the program of his life. If he acts vilely, incorrectly, makes many mistakes, adheres to low morality, then he produces defective energies through incorrect actions. And they settle as mud in his subtle bodies - because the Higher energy marriage is not needed.

The energy was given by the Higher Ones for his life and the fulfillment of his personal program. But with the wrong behavior of the individual, it turns out that he used this energy to produce a marriage. Hence, he has energy debts: in the next or present life, he is obliged to work out what he is supposed to do, and to produce exactly those energies for himself and for the Higher Ones that are assigned to him according to the program. And until he pays off these debts, he will not move further in development.

And in order for the development to take place quickly, so that it does not lag behind in evolution, the Higher Ones have to send such a soul even more difficult situations in life. Sometimes energy debts are so large that it becomes possible to compensate for them only at the expense of very short lives, when a person is given the opportunity to live only a few years or even months, and not a full life.

Therefore, when a person dies in infancy or at 5, 11 years old, these are debtor souls. They work off their past energy debts. Debtors lived short lives, that is, they came to Earth only to work off their debts.

Through the functions of their lives, they produce for the Higher the amount of energy that they owed in the past incarnation due to the failure to fulfill their personal program. A life expectancy of 11 or 16 years speaks only about one thing - how wrong a person lived and how much his concepts of life differed from those of the Highest Teachers.

II. The Bardo of Dying Death Through the Eyes of Realized Beings Our experiences in the bardo of dying are usually accompanied by intense pain. It begins from the moment when we no longer doubt impending death, and continues until the clear light of the mind appears,

Life and death is the most important issue. In vain we did not try to think and remember death.

Death is the end of life. But death is also the beginning of something...

Why a person died now, and not a year earlier or later. Are accidents, mistakes possible?

Is it natural to fear death?

We will try to answer these questions in this section.

Archpriest Igor Gagarin.

The Apostle Paul says that death is a victory over the last enemy, because in this life a person constantly meets with enemies. This is not about people, but about life circumstances that are hostile to a person. These are accidents, and diseases, meanness, betrayal - we meet with such "enemies" throughout our lives. And a person can overcome them all. He can overcome sickness, he can overcome loss, he can overcome betrayal. But the last enemy that no one could defeat is death. And it is our main holiday - Easter, the resurrection of Christ - this is a victory over the last enemy.

What is death? Few of us seriously think about the nature of this phenomenon. Most often, we superstitiously avoid not only conversations, but also thoughts about death, because this topic seems to us very bleak and terrible. After all, every child knows from an early age: “Life is good, but death .... death - I don't know what, but definitely something bad. It's so bad that it's better not to even think about it. We grow up, learn, acquire knowledge and experience in various fields, but our judgments about death remain at the same level - the level of a small child who is afraid of the dark.

His companions always follow the grief that has befallen. These satellites knock on us, do not let us go and do not give us peace. Day and night they take away our strength, occupy our thoughts, distract us, demanding answers... Who are these companions? These eternal questions “Why live?”, “How to be and where to go?”, “What is the meaning of life?”

Hegumen Vladimir (Maslov), Khasminsky Mikhail Igorevich, crisis psychologist.

People who have lost loved ones often ask the question: “Why do people die unjustly? Is there any justice at all? Is God just? We see a contrast - children die, but a rich old criminal lives. A woman with many children dies, whose children are doomed to an orphanage life, and drunkards are not going to die. The conclusion is formed in the mind that good people die, and bad people live. How many times have you heard: “If there is a God, then how does He allow injustice in the world?!”

Khasminsky Mikhail Igorevich, crisis psychologist.

Probably, there is no person in the world who would not survive the loss. And almost always, people mourning their loved ones have questions: “Why did this happen to me?”, “For what?”

Leo Tolstoy, writer.

Why do I need this pain? Why is suffering necessary at all? Why do some people die earlier and others later? The great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy is trying to answer these questions.

Deacon Andrei Kuraev, professor of theology, publicist.

What do people take out of the cemetery? What could the departed himself gain in the experience of his dying? Will a person be able to see the meaning in the last event of his earthly life - in death? Or is death “not for the future”? If a person crosses the border of time in irritation and anger, in an attempt to settle scores with Fate, then such a face will be imprinted in Eternity ... That is why it is scary that, according to Merab Mamardashvili, “millions of people not only died, but died not of their own death, i.e. one from which no meaning for life can be extracted and nothing can be learned. After all, what gives meaning to life gives meaning to death...

Callistus, Metropolitan of Diokleia (Ware Timothy).

The existence of a person can be compared to a book. Most people look at their earthly life as the "basic text", the main story, and the future life - if they really believe in the future life - as an "appendix", and nothing more. The true Christian attitude is quite different. Our present life is really nothing more than a preface, an introduction, because it is the future life that is the “main story”. The moment of death is not the end of the book, but the beginning of the first chapter.

Priest Alexy Darashevich.

The conversation of Fr. Alexy Darashevich, rector of the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Polenov, with listeners of the Radonezh radio station took place in August 2006, a week after two of his children died in a car accident, and two more were in intensive care.

Osipov Alexei Ilyich, professor of theology.

Objectively, there is a law, the violation of which entails corresponding disasters, suffering or death. Moreover, if in the physical, material, rough world, the causes and effects are obvious: a person drinks and the result is some diseases, a person injects drugs - and the result is other diseases, etc., then when we move on to the spiritual world, such a direct dependence not directly traceable. But if we were more attentive to our spiritual world, our thoughts, feelings, moods, experiences, it would not even occur to us: “Why are you, Lord, punishing me?”

Leo Tolstoy, writer.

Why are we afraid of death? According to Leo Tolstoy, the fear of death is born as a result of a misunderstanding of life. “Understand what your Self represents, and you will see that death is the door to eternal life,” says the great Russian writer.

Archpriest Mikhail Shpolyansky.

The meaning of life is a question how vague, just as acutely urgent for every person, for every soul. Who are we, why are we here, where are we going and what should this path be like, why are we dying? In the final completeness, only everyone can answer this question for himself - in his heart. But there are also general laws rooted in being itself, the objectivity of which cannot be canceled by our subjectivity.

Archpriest Valentin Ulyakhin.

In its spiritual essence, in its depth and significance, in its consequences, death is undoubtedly a sacrament. A person prepares for it all his life, from the cradle, going through the difficult way of the cross, to whom how much is measured by God. When we bury a person, serve a memorial service or litia, we bury the body, not the soul. The soul is immortal!

Strizhov Nikolay.

Man's desire for God is a natural process. Like a turtle hatched from an egg, under the influence of unknown forces, strive for water, so a person, having been born, begins his journey to God. There are no people who do not seek God. It does not matter whether a person does it consciously or not, this desire is inherent in each of us from birth. This can be confirmed by the fact that when asking any person and yourself, including about their attitude to Faith and to God, you will receive a well-reasoned, thoughtful answer about why a person believes in God or does not accept Him. This suggests that each person, to one degree or another, thought about it and came to certain conclusions ...

Bishop Hermogenes (Dobronravin).

There is no joy without sorrow, there is no happiness without trouble. And this is because the earth is not hell, where only cries of despair and gnashing of teeth are heard, but not paradise, where only faces of joy and bliss are heard. What is our life on earth?

Unknown author.

Many people try to brush off death. They don't like to think about her. Because the thought of death gives rise to fear and many other questions that are either difficult or impossible to answer. But most people, even unbelievers, understand that life on earth does not end with death. And that is what creates fear. Most of life is lived, and often not in the best way. How can a person get rid of this horror, is there any remedy for curing the animal fear of death? What is the Church's teaching on this very important issue?

Archpriest Viktor Kulygin.

In our fallen world, joy and sorrow, creation and destruction, life and death, Good and Evil are mixed. The best minds of mankind have always puzzled over this, trying to comprehend the secret of the meaning of human life in this world. There is no ultimate goal on earth, in this life. No matter how attractive she was, she was always covered with corruption and limbs, the fear of death. But God is immortal and the soul is eternal. Faced with the mystery of death, it is from God that we seek protection and mercy.

No matter how and in the name of what we live, each and every one in due time will reach that “moment between the past and the future”, which, contrary to the popular song, is usually called death. This event consists in the separation of soul and body. At the same time, the body expects decay, which is quite obvious, and the soul - a kind of "afterlife". At this moment, the limit of experimental scientific knowledge comes and the area of ​​​​the mysterious, the field of religion, opens up. The process in which we all find ourselves and which we call “life”, despite the impressive successes of science, remains inaccessible to “objective” knowledge, since its beginning and end are hidden in the unknown, unattainable for scientific methodology. And only religion, as a connection between the heavenly and the earthly, can offer a complete picture here.

Absolutely everyone is afraid of death, even the most courageous and desperate. But why can't we live forever? Why are children dying, absolutely healthy youth? Here are some of the main reasons why people die.

From old age. Yes, this is the simplest and most understandable reason. Old age occurs for everyone at different ages: someone is given to live up to 100 years, and someone only up to 60. Much in this case depends on the person’s lifestyle, on the “wear and tear” of his body and heart. From diseases. The most common diseases that lead to death among the population of different ages are cancer, diabetes, chronic lung and cardiovascular diseases. No less terrible are diseases of the circulatory system, the presence of blood clots, hepatitis B, C, cirrhosis and others. Compared to them, even AIDS is not so dangerous, although it should not be written off.

From the wrong way of life. Drug overdose, excessive alcohol consumption or low-quality alcohol can cause early death. And thanks to a promiscuous sex life, frequent stay in the basement, you can earn a whole bunch of diseases, which together will lead to death.

From chronic fatigue, accompanied by a weakening of the body's defenses. Lack of sleep, heavy consumption of coffee or energy drinks, combined with malnutrition (with a low content of nutrients), seriously creates tremendous stress for the body, weakens its immune system, and puts a huge strain on the heart. As a result, a person can die even from seemingly insignificant causes precisely because of a weakened organism that cannot resist.

From the fact that the earthly path of man is over. This is how religious people look at death. They believe that a person will die only when he has fulfilled his destiny.

From accidents. This includes accidents on the road, and the fall of aircraft, the flooding of ships, accidents on railway tracks. The cause of the accident can even be an ordinary icicle that falls on the head from the fifth floor.

From the syndrome of sudden and unexplained death. This happens when absolutely suddenly dies in a dream. Even doctors cannot explain the cause of death. This is more of a religious explanation.

Suicide. In what way a person will do this, it is up to him to decide. In any case, those closest to him will hurt the most. In addition, suicides are forbidden to be buried in a common cemetery and buried, since the church does not accept such an act, regardless of the reasons that could provoke it.

Separately, it is worth talking about children's causes of death. These include: congenital pathologies, prematurity, pneumonia, diarrhea, asphyxia, birth trauma.

Whatever the reasons for the death of a loved one, it is still worth remembering: we are all not eternal. Enjoy every day and communication with each other, with your parents, do not be upset over trifles and watch your body!
