[Since his experience consisted of the violence itself and only a few seconds of the aftermath, then suddenly waking up in Hadriel healed enough so as not to die but no more than that, what he remembers is how bad it was. How many months it took to heal, and how awful those months--especially the first one--were.
So it's... Morbid, certainly, but still a good reminder that death itself isn't so bad. Dying itself hadn't been bad for him either in the Aerie, but that had been a very different circumstance, and so it was easy to disregard it as not being applicable, but Ian's experience is closer to what happened to Lance at home and so it's more meaningful to hear.
But the fact that they can have this conversation at all means they really could use some distraction. Maybe right now, since everything is still falling down around them, but soon.]
