Exsanguination - if one were to bleed to death do you have a heart attack or pass out first? this one site says it isn't painful I some how disbelieve that.

I came very, very close once. The blood loss wasn't painful, but it was damned uncomfortable. I was cold. So cold that there was no getting warm. My brain was aware but I couldn't speak or even open my eyes. The injury that caused this situation was incredibly painful, but as I ran out of blood, the pain began to be less important. Then I lost conciousness. When the bleeding was stopped and they pumped me full of donated blood I regained all sensation, and then it hurt! And it took me months to get my strength back. I guess it was the process of my body replacing the donated blood with it's own that kept me so weak for so long.

The above answer is way better than mine because that person's been through it. And I've not. BUt thats why your body goes into shock...endorphins kick in and numb you like natural opiates. What Jewel described sounds just like what the body'd do...become cold due to not being able to retain heat anymore (blood carries warmth as well), and I would expect the wound to hurt much more than the fact that one was losing blood.
