All of us die alone, at least in the last five minutes. After our eyes close there is still 4-6 minutes of oxygen left for the brain and the heart and when that runs out, you can only hope that you're unconscious and don't feel the heart starving for oxygen, cause that's just like a heart attack = pain. It doesn't matter who is holding your hand, you don't feel it any longer. You're alone.

I don't know how to respond to the tales of coming back from the dead with intact memories cause the brain hasn't got oxygen to collect memories. So they might not have been really most sincerely dead.
Good Death, absolutly,when you watch a parent die of terminal cancer after a two year battle,Thats a good death,for my mother and the family,Thats also going to a better place.
When blood flow to the brain stops you are instantly rendered unconscious, you have 4 minutes of Oxygen bound to the hemoglobin to keep the brain alive at Normothermic temps.During that 4 minutes you can feel nothing.
