Not knowing when it will happen,not knowing whether i will suffer or not,and not knowing what is on the otherside,what lies beyond death terrifies me,also not be able to see my family and friends anymore.And not able to indulge in eating my favourite food,or drinking my favourite drinks anymore.

Also i'll miss this site aswell,are you terrified of death like me or would you be happy to go tomorrow kinda attitude,but if you do have that attitude i hope you live longer than for just tomorrow.I would also miss my hobbies,and no longer being able to indulge in things i enjoy,or places i like to visit.But what about you now please what are feelings,thoughts about death?As we all have to die oneday,as none of us can live forever.We all will die on a certain day,in a certain place,and in a place that most of us have'nt choosen to be in.

When we die we do not concern ourselves with our Earthly wants and desires (oh no, i'm going Biblical on ya now)....I often find myself worrying about the little things in life that I enjoy but then I think about the bigger picture..

**Just as our earthly bodies were of the first man Adam (1 Corinthians 15:47a) so will our resurrection bodies be just like Christ’s (1 Corinthians 15:47b). “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:49,53). Many people recognized Jesus after His resurrection (John 20:16, 20; 21:12; 1 Corinthians 15:4-7). So, if Jesus was recognizable in His resurrection body, I see no reason to believe that ours will be any different. Being able to see our loved ones is a glorious aspect of Heaven – but Heaven is far more about God, and far less about our own wants. What a pleasure it will be to be reunited with our loved one, and worship God with our loved ones for all eternity.

"Are you afraid of death?"
"No." I softly replied
"Are you afraid of anything?"
"No." I replied again, but then again; I lie.

Death is closing in around us,
another one is gone.
And so we shed a silent tear;
For those who must live on.

I dont tend to think about death. Other things, yes, but not that. For me, I have reasons that it doesnt concern me. I am not afriad to eventually die, and while I think Id eave a lot undone behind if I did die tomorrow... I wouldnt be disappointed. I wouldnt be anything, Id be dead. Cynical, but yeah. I dont dwell on things I cant change. DEath is inevitable and if you think about it too much, you worry unnecessarily about things you cant change anyhow.

fast reply,

i do not fear death, i do not know why. i can only imagine it must be the absence of church entirely as a child.

sometimes i get sad to try and imagine not being here, with my loved ones, but i know it is a waste of time to sit on such subjects and quickly move on.

I too am incredibly afraid of death and the unknown. My whole body basically freezes up if I think too much about it, it is rediculous. I just do my best to keep it out of my brain, but I'd say it's a daily occurence with me to think about it. I guess we can only do as much as we can while we're here. I'm not religious by any means, but sometimes you just have to wonder if this really is all there is for us. Along with getting the heebly-jeeblies about death, I get them when I think about the expansive universe as well. There just HAS to be other life forms out there, no? Why haven't we heard from any? What's going to happen when the Sun explodes?! It's all too much for my feeble human mind to think about sometimes!

Ya, I’ve never been a big fan of death. I’ve accepted the fact of my mortality but I confess to being a little nervous about what comes after. I’m not worried about going to Hell because I firmly believe that if there is a god, he is not a sadistic prick (and I find the idea of either eternal reward or eternal punishment to simplistic). The thought of not existing is what scares me the most. I know that this makes absolutely no sense but I just can’t unwrap myself from the notion that not existing would really suck. So for purely psychological reasons, purely to comfort myself, I choose to believe in an after life.

My belief however is buttressed by the cyclical nature of the universe. Everything, from galaxies down to atoms seems to move in circles and in cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. Why should we be different?

If there is a master plan to the universe then I suspect that we, in our earthly existence, are not the finished product. That we are here to learn and to grow and develop. That we are, in effect, spiritual embryos and our true birth is yet to come.

Whatever lies on the other side, it should be interesting.

No, I am not afraid of death. When I face the possibility of death (like when I am flying, and the airplane is taking off, or when I am having surgery, and am about to be put to sleep) I say a prayer, asking God to watch over my loved ones and keep them safe, and then I just feel at peace. The thought of death does not bother me much. It is part of the plan for us all, the natural progression of events which began at our conception, therefore, it cannot be a bad thing.

No, I'm not really afraid of death. But then I don't spend much time thinking about it. I do hope I die in some spectacular and news worthy way so everyone here will have something else to talk about. Some unimaginable demise that no one believes, like being struck by an potato travelling at high speed after being lauched out of the exhaust manifold of a jet. Ah, crap now I can't die that way because I imagined it.

I am not in the least bit afraid of death, though I do not look forward to the pain of dying, and nor do I wish to die any time soon.

As for the fear of the unknown, this is bizarre to me. What is there to fear? It would seem that there are only three possibilities; one is that all will slowly fade to nothing - a peculiar nothing where you do not actually perceive it - death as an end. The second is that in someway you will maintain awareness and ego integration according to a Christian model of afterlife; in that case it would be better to have lived well. The third is that you will cease to be as in the first case, but that awareness will survive at its most basic level, prior to a rebirth scenario; again, best to have the right karma. We are all to die, according to every piece of evidence we have available to us, so to fear it is strange, since fear as a tool of flight is misplaced in this instance; we have only one way to go, no escape.

There is also no reason to fear the loss of all we are, our families, our friends, our tastes and so on. We must understand, that we take this journey, wherever it leads, alone, and just as we cannot take our material possessions, neither can we be helped by others. We will not miss anything we leave behind, or anyone, whichever of the three outcomes to death happen to be true. We are on our own, with only our karma to help us, should we find options two or three to be the case.

The cause of the fear of death is attachment. Attachment to our possessions, our families, our friends, and ultimately attachment to ourselves. Overcome that attachment to yourself, and you will find that your fear of death is gone. This is not easy to achieve in our western culture of course, which stresses just how important we are and how important our material lives are. Yet, it remains the key.

Death doesn't phase me. It wasn't the absence of church, or a strange want of death, I just never saw why we should fear it. I'm not sure how to explain not having a fear of it because all my life i've heard people explain why they are afraid of it. Maybe to me it just doesn't make sense.

In the past... not long ago actually... I feared death. The only reason I can come up with is that I was afraid that, if this was the only life we had to live, I wanted to be here as long as possible. Who hasn't ever wished to live forever? Having been brainwashed since childhood by the Christian/Catholic church, how could I feel any different? I've done a lot of soulsearching the last few years, and well... the fear is gone. I do not believe that when I die, that it will be the end. Death is merely part of the journey. When you look at it that way, what's to fear? While I do not wish this life to be at it's end quite yet, when death comes knocking, I will not run in fear. When this body, this shell, has outlived its usefullness, I will gladly turn it in for a new one.

What I do fear is a long drawn out painful death... disease in a word... it does not feel right to me to trap the spirit in a diseased or otherwise unhealthy body just to hold on to those last few miserable moments. That's part of the reason why, if ever given the option of living with... say... a kidney transplant and being on pills for life, and dying... I will most likely choose to abandon this body and get on with it.

Of course, if I'm wrong... and one of you guys dies and proves I'm wrong... come back and let me know ok? ;)

I have seen death. Seen it happen, touched it.

I think it is not so much actually being dead as the process of dying that could be seen as scary.
Though personally I embrace death, since it is a natural part of life, just like birth.

I am not saying I want to die tomorrow, nor that I am one morbid chick with a deathwish.
All in due time I'm sure.

For now let's all just enjoy life and what it brings us. Love and let live. :)

I died when I was barely nine years old. I so never wanted to experience that again! It changed my life and the direction of my life: my purpose became not to die again.

I am mature now. I now see death as the final refuge and solace. I do not fear it any more. Perhaps I will be reunited with my most intimate lovers, the other parts of me that I lost when I died that first time.

My mission in this life is not yet done. Mankind and this world is a mess and ignorance abounds. Too, I must prepare for my next incarnation. It will make his or her life so much easier and productive if he or she does not have to reinvent the wheel.

My efforts are directed to non-spiritual subjects, sciences in particular. I now wonder whether that was the better option. Perhaps I would have been more effective, have had a greater impact on our people, if I had dedicated myself to the spiritual.

I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of dying...being in pain, seeing My loved ones grieving for Me. I'm also afraid of leaving unfinished business, of not having the time to do all that I want to do..seeing all that I want to see. Truly, the best way to live, is as if it were your last day on earth.

What would YOU do differently then?

I don't want to go anytime soon because I've a lil one I need to watch grow, and lots of family and friends who'd lose a good anchor if I disappeared... However, I've never been afraid of death, though am terribly afraid of pain or lingering in a useless state. M
