How do you perceived or comprehend death?

Answer 1

The cessation of life, not breathing, heart stops beating.
I'm a nurse, so I have witnessed death in person as it is part of the job. Death is as natural as Birth, the beganing and ending. I think that death brings challenges to the person dying and those around them, when death is not sudden a person has the chance to review life and reach out to everyone they want to say something to, a final oppuritunity to make peace and amends with life. I think it is a profound journey into the unknown. Being at the bed side I have seen people (they allows look to the left, when they talk about angels, or dead family members, or scary things) I have only witnessed two deaths that the people were very scared, screaming till the end (no I didn't do anything to them they were in a semi conciousness and very afraid, very hard to soothe). I tell you what that makes you question how you are living when you see that. Otherwise most often it is a somberly beautiful, a time family and friends are close, hand holding love, and a time the dying treasures sadness but release. What things are really important become clear, love, hope, peace. After life there are many views as to what happens, what happens for sure I don't know haven't died

Answer 2

I have done Hospice work and plan to continue to do so over in Africa. Death is very much like birth, a natural part of the existence than none can escape. Experiences are subjective, yet have many common themes and stages, but then we are all "hardwired" similarly so that only stands to reason.

Since I am still alive and cannot remember last death, I can't give definitive eye-witness account from the subjective POV.

Answer 3

Although I could never take my own life, I certainly do not fear death. I am an older man and this body is about used up. I relish the though of being in Heaven with my Lord and Savior. I will be in a new and eternal body with no pain ever. What a wonderful experience that will be. I comprehend death as a welcome relief from endless pain and discomfort.

Answer 4

Death means separation. When we say a relationship has died, for example, we mean the couple has separated, they are no longer together.

When Adam and Eve sinned against God, their relationship with God died, they had become separated from Him. This is why an animal or animals were killed (God made them clothes of animal skins to cover their nakedness) to symbolize this separation. It was during this time that God announced the curse of death.

At some point, a person will die, i.e., their spirit will separate from their flesh. The Bible calls this the first death. The second death for many comes on judgment day when God judges whether you are worthy of living eternally in heaven with Him or eternally separated from Him. Those who have believed that the death of Christ on the cross eternally forgives sin will receive eternal life, they will live together with God forever. Those who had chosen not to believe will be separated from God love and grace forever.

Answer 5

Physical death is wonderful! What a great opportunity. Death is a time of celebration. My Grandmother died (7/7/06) and we had a ball. My Grandmother professed Jesus, when she was in her 40's, was baptised, and continued to prefess Jesus even with terminal cancer. She did get a little uncomfortable when in the hospital and she still professed the Lord. One day my grandmother will be just a name on a piece of paper but Our Lord and Savior will be live forever! Love the Lord and Live through Death.

Answer 6

I perceive death as the dying of a persons body but they live on. They are later reincarted. Life and death have their own circle.

Answer 7

I dont perceive it or even comprehend it. I KNOW it can happen any moment.
Living normally is to constantly avoid death.

Answer 8

For me and the experiences I've had with death that God called them home, because their work here on earth was done. I believe the love they (Mom, Dad, and Husband) had for me will always be with me. That energy will never go. I believe they are waiting for Jesus to come again and raise them up. The Bible says that He will raise up the dead, and then in a twinkling of an eye take the living. I believe their energy (souls) are all around me. Death is God's will too.

Answer 9

According to the Bible, death is a state of inactivity. Like being in a deep sleep (think anesthesia). Death is the opposite of life-complete nothingness.

Answer 10

The ceasing of all functions of life. After breathing, heartbeat, and brain activity stop, the life-force gradually ceases to function in body cells, Death is the opposite of life. No longer Existing
