Today i had a dream that my father had gotten in a car accident and DIED!! If that wasn't enough, soon after my mother DIED of a heart attack!! The pain i felt was unbearable. Then i woke up.......
But it made me realize that i might have to witness my parents die one day, or they may see me die one day. That was inevitable. And that made me really sad. I felt sad that one day we may not have each other anymore. That death might seperate us where i cant see them physically anymore. Any thoughts on the subject???

take each day like its your last, smell the flowers, say I love you to all you love, never stay mad, cause you never know. We all have an appointed time. Theres a day to live and a day to die. Never take your parents or people you love and care for granted. Theres nothing to fear but fear itself.

Death is a natural thing that occurs and when your time is up you can't really stop it. The way you have to look at your own death is that eventually you will see your loved ones again whether you believe in a heaven or being born again. I have learned that you really don't die, your body does but your energy doesn't it just goes back into a bigger mass of energy. So in a way death doesn't really fully occur and it doesn't really seperate you from anyone. If you believe in heaven they will be there waiting for you because you love them (they will be in what you would think heaven is) and if you believe in being born again they will be in your next life (a part of your soul that moves into another form and they will follow you whether they change into a friend or relative). I hope this helps you because death shouldn't be a fear. I think the only way people see it as a fear is because it is the unknown. All it really is a worry about what will happen when you are gone or what will happen to someone you love when he/she isn't around anymore. Take care.

Don`t waste your time thinking about it, it is a part of life, the inevitable progression, once you lose your fear of death, you can then really experience the fun in life, from a simple sunrise, to the joy of family and friends. I have been very close to death several times, and because of it, i no longer fear dying, that is why i can enjoy the simple things in life. Don`t dwell on the subject, and you should soon start seeing the brighter side of life. As for having to see your parents die, i hope you would not have to actually see it when they die, but it is natures way, the young replace the old, in a ever continuing cycle, just treasure the time you do have with them, which will hopefully be a long time.

There is a couple of parts to your question.....one being a dream. Not always in a dream does it mean actual death, the parting of an old way of life and starting a new can be symbolized as the death of the old way of life.
Second your fear of watching your parents die or they watch you die . Unfortunately these days with cancer as being a large cause of death it is more possible that we are involved with their care until they die...as I was with my mother. And it is a great physical loss in our lives.
With out the promise of there being an afterlife in Heaven and will meet our loved ones again if we are saved, I can't imagine how I would dread the thought of death and how they or I would vanish as if we never existed and existed for what?

Death is never what is fearful, what is fearful is the process of death - and the realization that, yes, we are probably going to lose our parents, does make it sad, that's why we must keep our relationships in the hands of God and our souls. Most dream sequences of death are representations of change to be taken place in a persons life. Maybe this will help you feel a little less sorrow before its due time.

Death is not something to fear. All of us will encounter death. When you say that you believe in him and believe in him with your heart you will have eternal life after death.You can see at the bible (Revelations 20 :11-15) that the death were judged and at ( Revelations 21 :1- 27 ) describes heaven and if your name is in the book of life you will be experiencing eternal life and always remember that christ is with you and remember that we will be saved individually Very Impotant : It not by doing good works but believing in God and the bible , when you die you will not remember your family and what you have done on earth and always remember to read the bible. God Bless!!!!

Only the physical body fears Death. it is used to life in this form and the idea that one day somehow its going to disapear is a natural reaction. if you belive in a life after death you can calm the bodies nerves so your soul will have an easier time of it when it can no longer keep the physical body alive and movimg.
yes your second part is also true. whoever as before you will meet them again in spirit form when the time is right.

There is no reason to fear it, it will happen to all of us. Just accept it and move on. Instead, devote your time to living you life in a way that makes you happy, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Oh, and be sure and tell the people you care about how much they mean to you on a regular basis.
There is a poem I like called "A Psalm of Life" go here to read it: http://www.favoritepoem.org/poems/longfellow/ It's good. Remember, life is short and suddenly you're not there anymore.

Everyone will die someday.
No one likes it but it can be coped with .
6 years ago I had colon cancer. I had a 50/50 chance but today I have a different outlook on life.
I am not afraid to die as I am a Christian and believe in life after death.
I am not ready to go however, so I live my live like there will be no tomorrow and enjoy what I have today.
God promised us today but not tomorrow.

Death is something not to be feared. It is a blessing.
If God made us immortal, then we would have to live with the world's agony. We would have to live with pain and suffering.
When we die, we will be released of all the things that makes us sad and we can finally have peace.
Live your life. Embrace your death.
