I don't know, it just get through my mind. I remembered that my prof in high school once asked this question to us. And I said no, maybe because I'm not thinking too much before about anything or whoever I care. My prof said that there's nothing to be afraid off when you are prepared. Now, I realize that I'm still not prepared because of so much things to think of, useless worries and anxieties to our family, work, etc... So,my answer now is I'm not yet ready and afraid, how ironic... How about you?

For the most part I don't feel that I'm afraid to die. But then I have never been in a situation where I've had to think and reflect on it. Like if I had cancer, or have been in a serious accident. I have a wonderful husband and daughter and I don't want to leave them. I enjoy life a great deal but I'm not afraid to die.

Yes, of course. I think most people are to a degree: it's instinctual: the urge to live. I mean...if you're walking along a street, and you get a panic attack (this has happened to me alot); you feel you are losing consciousness; your legs feel numb...there is great terror. You don't want to go. Most of us cleave the world, hold on it with great passion. This is natural. At the same time, as a Christian I think it's good to not depend too greatly on the world, to not love it too much. To love the thought of being with Jesus instead. There are many things I love about the world. But sometimes I feel I would like to love them less; and wish instead for the next world. Because there is so much sadness in our world.

Sometimes I Imagine myself in a coffin.I am not yet prepared to die because I still have a lot of plans in life for myself,family and to travel.But if time comes that God wants me to die.I will accept it because He had a better plan for me and he owns my life.

Hi vycess! Like you, I wasn't afraid to die before. That was when I was still single. But now that I have a son, I'm afraid to die. I can't afford to leave him. I want to see him grow old and have children. I don't want to die.. At least not until he's ready to stand up on his own and has a stable life.

For the most part I don't feel that I'm afraid to die. But I haven't really been in a situation where I would have to reflect and think about. Like if I were really sick, or in an accident. I love life and enjoy it a great so I wouldn't want to die. I have my husband and my precious daughter and I don't want to leave them.
