No...
If it's my time being afraid of a fact wouldn't help...
I'd rather do the things I want to do while I still have time...
being afraid of death can hinder my love for adventure..

Yes and No.
Yes because it truly scares me to leave my children behind. Right now they are 12, 8, 6, and 2. They are too young to not have a mother...I lost my mother at 23 and I was still too young. It isn't really the dieing that scares me but what may happen to those I leave behind.
No because I know that when I go I have so many people that I have lost in my life that will meet me there and guide me through the kingdom of heaven. And I believe that only when we die that not only do we eternally live but we have eternal happiness. Just think a world of no pain, no violence, no loss, and no heartache...who could ask for more?

More annoyed at the prospect then scared. I'm sure that I will still have a lot of living I'll want to do, even though my time will be up. I really like life.
Although I do everything I can to ensure my health as I age, I know there will come a day when I will be unable to live the type of self-sufficient, active life I'm accustomed to. My fear is that I will be "kept alive" by well meaning relatives even if I'm a drooling fool, so basically I'm more afraid to "exist" in a dying state than to actually die.
At the moment of truth, none of us has a choice in dying, so what point is there in being scared of a moment we can neither predict or prevent? Better to live and die with dignity than fear.

As an atheist, being dead doesn't alarm me. I've survived major cancer for years and have permanent vertigo I'd be glad to be free of. But I still love life. I am sad knowing the sense of grief my family, including grandchildren will feel, though. But that's life - grief is the measure of the joy we have had - and I look forward to my family getting my estate to enrich their lives. The process of dying does scare me somewhat, having watched both my parents die. I support euthenasia, when palliative care is no longer sufficient. We put animals out of their pain, but the damned religious withhold help from humans!

No, I am not.
After I lost my mom that's when I woke from a dream world and realized that we all have to die one day. Death is inevitable. Even if we are scared we HAVE to face the music. Everything that has a beginning has an end.

The valiant never taste of death but once." Shakespeare

Yes My sons need me and I am scared to leave them. I was not afraid to die before them in fact I tried to take my life a few times but an amazing tolerance to pain killers kept me here or probably wasn't my time and He didn't want me yet

I'm not scared to die. I am scared to die too soon, before I feel like I've done everything I need to in life.

Yes I am horrified of Death. It is my worst fear and for ALOT of reasons. Death means no more you're done and over with. That's just so scary. I don't want to not be able to see my husband, parent, daughters, or any of my friends and family anymore. That is just horrifying! Its almost like I can't bare to think how the world goes on without me. I only know the world through my eyes and so if I can't see it, it makes me wonder how it goes on. I'm not conceded by far so its not b/c I think I'm something special its just scary for me b/c all I can picture is darkness after I die. They say its just like when you're sleeping and u know what when i'm sleeping I know nothing yet the world goes on. How weird is that? We just don't seem to be of much importance to this world. It don't need us to exist. Death is our only one true guarantee in life and its just so final so its kinda terrorizing. It's hard for me to think about Death I am so afraid of it. It causes me to have panic attacks and everything. I wish I could explain myself better but I just can't.

Not really. Everyone has to die and I can accept the fact that my time will come. Sure I would miss all my family and friends but it's not like we have the choice to live forever.
