I am not afraid of death because it is something that everyone has to go through. I am afraid of suffering though.

i know that it is inevitable but i guess i am afraid of the unknown. I actually have dreams about being dead and what it will be like. I am probably crazy

I like how you put that. "I am scared to death of getting old and dying". Sorry, but I found it a pun. Anyway, I'm sort of scared of death, but not really. I'm scared of being alone, for the most part. If I were very sick, I'd probably welcome death, and wish for it for a while. But, since I'm not, I am sort of scared, mainly because I don't know what will happen to my children.

yes. i worry about i am leaving behind and at the same time i worry i will still be responsible even though i am not here. pretty silly eh?

I dont afraid death Death is the end of life, the full cessation of vital functions in a biological organism. It is generally considered a permanent state in the field of biology, and all living things are believed to eventually die, whether through natural causes such as disease, or unnatural ones such as accident.
do you fear death


refinery2809 (93)  4 years ago

i do fear death and the unknow of what it will be like. will we forget all we know, will we look down and see everything going on, will life be wonderful in heaven.....or will it just all end and be over forever

No, I am not afraid of death. But, I don't like the aging part.


refinery2809 (93)  4 years ago

i am not sure which is worse. the thought of dying or just aging. It has a bit to do with both for me

When he was sixteen, my son asked me two questions. Seeking and finding the answers became the second biggest life changing event of my life. Sure, I answered his questions, but I wasn't satisfied with the answers..

But yes, I don't look forward to leaving my family until I have [#1] paid any bills I have, or have enough insurance to bury me and pay my bills, and [#2] done the things I think I should accomplish, and [#3] I want to die when my husband is too old to be much interested in a new wife:)) can't help it.. wanna be his only wife in the resurrection.

The two questions my son asked? He was being bitter and said, "why did God put the tree of knowing good and evil in the garden? (and) "isn't it great we get to be an ant farm..? - Well, I realized we're not an ant farm, and that's the very reason why life is difficult and the world is as it is.. But how great is that? Next, as soon as man and angel were endowed with thinking ability (and choice) a whole new world (or tree) of possibilities 'came to be' and God only being able to be true, and honest, well, there was that tree in the garden.. and how wonderful, that God isn't creating an ant farm.. he's creating the best, a family.. and has done all things in order to bring about the best possible of outcomes.. the best 'end' result. I'm not afraid, I've come to understand that God is life itself (of course) and also Perfect.. to be life/alive, he can only be Excellent.. and ultimately, life can only be perfect..

I'm not scared to die. Everybody has there time. I am scared to death of the idea of leaving my husband and children behind and how they would have to deal.

I am not afraid of death. But I admit I am afraid of how I go and when I go... I always want to do more. I been hit by lightning, and I remember joing with the Spirits I closed my spirit eyes and asked to live to do railroad work and spirit work. Death is nothing to fear, It is just part of change. Everything and everyone will go through this change in some way. People fear it because they fear what will happen in the afterlife, or fear where they will go or will not go. There is so much there, everyone will go where they choose to, and even those who are lost for awhile, will recieve the help they need. Never fear death, maybe fear the situation that brings it on. People when they are dying their bodies show so much pain, even more then they realise... Others may feel alot of pain and suffering, if you do view this as cleansing, and remember you will never again have to suffer again, after you pass over, well unless you choose to, as its all like a big day dream you can do anything over there, as long as you complete your life and living here. Take care - DNatureofDTrain
