I'm not really scared of dying. because when your dead... that's it. no more pain, no more fear, nothing else. But, i guess that scares though. either this, life, is it, or it's some test that determines "Where" you go after you die. I want to be here for my family, and my baby. I have to wonder every day if my husband's alright. (he's in Iraq) Every time the phone rings, I wonder if it's someone to tell me the "bad news" about him. I guess I'll be this way until he comes home.
But... are YOU scared of dying?????

Two things:
1) I don't want to die slowly and painfully. I want it fast and painless. maybe in my sleep.
2) I'm Jewish, so yes. i do have religion in my life.

Best question yet, a question anyone and everyone can answer. There was a time in my life that I feared death. Not while I was in Viet Nam because , you always thought it would be someone else , not you.
The reason I no longer fear death is in this little story. There was this old salt in Nam who told ww2 story of a Christian Marine , who was teased a lot for his beliefs.
In the midst of a fire fight , a hand grinade landed in front of them. This Christian dove on it with his helmet , but some of the shrap metal came through and took his guts out. He was alive a few minutes when one guy asked why? His answer was , "You're not ready to die, I am"
Because of the shed blood of the Christ that covers me, and I know where I will spend eternity, I am ready to die.

Right now, in this moment - no, I'm not scared of dying. I have done a lot in my life and try to be a good person. I'm not religious and don't know if there's anything out there other than what we know. Still, I tend to believe that life goes on somehow and that what we contribute matters.
I hope your husband comes home safely soon.

Because of my Faith I do not fear the end of this mortal life. I know for certain where I am going. But I am, as most are I think, afraid of the process. a Long time ago I worked in a nursing home. I do not want to linger and suffer like those I saw there.

With life, comes death. I'm not saying I want to die, the good Lord knows I don't, but there's nothing I can do, to stop it. I can only hope, that my children will be grown, I know they're going to make something of themselves because they're strong willed kids, like my husband and I. I'm not afraid to die, I just hope, if it's my time to go, that it won't be brutally. So many people die in a brutal way, I can only hope, that mine will be peaceful. Can I tell you something? As long as you've made your peace with the Lord Jesus Christ and you accept him as your Savior, you have "nothing" to fear.

The process of dying scares me but being dead does not. I know my God and I know that He is a just God. And one day, if faithful to Him I will be where He is. John 14:1-3

No I am not afraid of dying. I know that when I die I will be in heaven. The only thing I worry about is my sons and their lives after I am gone.

I am not scared of dying. I have a respect for my life, but I know that I can not escape death.
I try not to worry about things I have no control over...death and dying is just one of the many things that don't scare me.

I don't know if I'm scared neccisarily, but I feel sad at the thought. The thought that one day my friends, family, myself, we will no longer be here. It really makes me sad to think that at some point my husband will no longer be here. It just feels like such a loss.
And many thank to your and your family & brave husband for the sacrifices you are making for our country & freedom. May you stay strong and may he return home safely to you and your baby.

I'm not scared of dying, I'm a Christian. I am though, afraid about what will happen to my kids, where they will end up, how my death will effect them, how they will handle it, that's what scares me.
I know you miss your husband, it takes a lot of courage on both of your parts for him to be in Iraq. I don't take it you are a Christian, but, if you don't mind I wll put you and him in my prayers.
