Was it a cool death though?
Honorable, but not cool. I was down to 11 HP, but our Shadar Kai was at 6 and really close. So, I took a 5 foot step, healed her, then took a heavy crossbow bolt to the chest on a critical.
It might not be as bad as I think. After the session the DM pulled me aside and reminded me two other members of the party have also died, and are still with us.
Sounds like you're probably fine then. Or approximately fine, at least - last time I did that to a player I meant the party had enough funds for a reincarnation ritual, so apart from turning from a halfling to a gnoll the biggest consequence was the other PCs having to explain to the dead PC's parents that their daughter had been eaten by a Froghemoth.
