Scared to die

[BK_Adores_Chase]

I am so scared to die.  Just the thought of never seeing my family makes me so sad I wish it wouldn't happen but it does.  Sometimes I just don't get what life is all about...why are we here if we just die, what's the point?

I am not scared to die.  I have watched 4 people I loved more than anything die of cancer.  Its is slow and painful.  And I dont go a day without missing them and wanting to talk to them, but they are at peace no more pain, no more suffering.  So that makes me not afraid, yes those left behind will miss me them, and they can live a life and continue on. And the family left behind yes they will miss you because you are in there hearts and minds but I have learned you cant stop death its inevitable.

I will soon be 25 next month and I'm not afraid to die. There are days where I wish I was dead already and there are days where I ask myself why I'm here in the 1st place. I already know there won't be very many people who will miss me when I'm gone. I also know that there won't be very many people coming to my funeral. Sometimes, I just don't know whats the point for me to continue to live.

I don't ever remember a time when I have been afraid to die.  I was always taught it's not something to fear.  Nothing and no one lasts forever.  While we are here we have to make the best of it and try to fulfill all our dreams.

You shouldn't be afraid to die, but honestly if you were never in that situation you cannot imagine how you would react.  Simply pondering upon the day it might happen is something you shouldn't do as it serves no positive purpose for you and only saddens you as you point out.

I once did lay down to die and although I was a nervous, I wouldn't say I was afraid.  Surprisingly, to my own self that is, I took the position of "let's get this done then" instead of any grasping for continuance (note:  I am not implying I was brave but it was more of a demand to end the suffering and had pleas for mercy been available I might well have been a bawling begging baby).  I didn't die obviously but I was surely convinced of it at the time.

I think most people tend to fear death less the older they get.  Perhaps that is meant to be.  There were a couple of times when I was younger that I thought I wanted to die, but now I just enjoy each day.  I marvel at the world and nature and people.  A few years ago I had an accident and I believed at the time that I was dying.  I was amazed that I didn't feel any fear - I just thought "so this is what it's like."  It was not a near death experience.  I was conscious but thought my injuries were fatal.  Obviously not!!  Now I just enjoy each day with my family and I look forward to the time I will see my family members who have passed on.  My faith is my comfort.

Death is just another part of life and we all will die someday. No reason to be scared.

I totally agree with you i feel the same way sometimes we are going to die one day and thats scary and i think too why do i bother doing this or that if i am just gonna die anyway like why bother buying or making this if i am gonna die anyways

we are given eternal life. God gave us our life to honor Him. W

I am not afraid to die. Having lupus I enjoy the little things and appreciate and enjoy the ones I love. I am always afraid of losing the ones I love though.

I have a Gnostic view in this matter..... I believe that our real home is in heaven with God...or on the other side. We choose to write our chart and come to this earth so that we may perfect our souls through the negativity of life. This doesn't stop me from being depressed or anxious about things though. And I seem to be more emotionally unbalanced as i get older. (I am 36) But I am not afraid to die. Afraid to die painfully? Yes. And very afraid of suffocating. My biggest fear is my husband dieing and leaving me behind. I count on him for everything. And if I was to lose one of my boys (they are 15 and 5) It would crush me!! Life is hard. But these are things that we wrote for ourselves to learn from. Just stay strong and try to focus on the love and the learning. Also it is a lot harder to be born than it is to die.

I agree that it is a scary thing to think of. I'm not scared to die though. I think that it will be much better than this world that we live in. I guess it all depends what you believe in. In my opinion I believe it will be okay

I've had OBE's and "died" in my sleep before and am definitely not afraid to die.  My experiences may have been different from others', but I can tell you I felt light as a feather and free as a bird.  Besides, you'll have the biggest family reunion you ever attended, but in a place with the brightest colors you've ever seen with the most beautiful music you've ever heard.  It's not something to fear... just relax and enjoy life!

There can be no birth without death. There is nothing to be afraid of. When a person’s karmic debt have been paid in full, then it’s their time to go. Death is part of life. Nobody can interfere with the laws of nature.

Yes, I am afraid to die. Especially not know when or how it will happen makes it more frightening. I do believe I will continue as a spirit though.
