Death is a transition of life to another form. A form of life that none of us can attest to about that existance, except for that the atoms and molecules are still alive from our existance. If our souls belong to god should not we all die gracefully? He said vengence is his and only his.

ah...I can't say I know anyone who has died ungracefully.
I am a retired nurse and have been with many people as they have died. I have been with family members and it was full of grace and amazment that they crossed to the other side. The experiences for me have been spiritual.
I personally had a near death experience. I was in the white light and was the most incredabe experience that I have ever had. The peace was beyond any human understanding. I didn't fight it, I was ready to go . It wasn't my time and the doctors brought me back. The experience has given me an amazing sense of what the spiritual rehlm will hold.
I am not sure where you get the idea that people don't die gracefully.

I do think that we should live life and grow old gracefully. People want to prolong the life of their loved ones for selfish reasons. Because they don't want to loose, they don't want to hurt. We don't think about what that terminally ill person feels? That person who is in pain from cancer, or hooked up to a respirator to help them breath. We only know that we don't want to say goodbye. We are human and thereby selfish by nature. We don't want to let go. I think that a passing of life should be graceful. After all, there are only two things that are certain in life, taxes and death. Both are a part of life. We (most of us) accept taxes, why do we have such a hard time with accepting death? The Bible states that "the living know that they shall die, but the dead no not anything" My thought, to let someone go is to let them be free of what still confines us.

It would be great to just close our eyes and quietly slip
away. But man cries out for vengeance when a wrong
has been committed. We demand justice at the top of our
lungs when a crime so hideous takes life so cruelly.
God asks that we allow him vengeance, but we want justice.
Some say God wrecked vengeance on the South with
Hurricane Katrina because we allowed gambling into
our midst. We are still demanding justice for 9/11.
Death doesn't care who welds it just so long as someone
does.

Yes ideally death should come quietly and gracefully. Unfortunately this isn't always the case. Sometimes through terrible accidents or worse, acts of violence, death comes about before its time & is very harsh. But regardless of the circumstances of death, I believe in the afterlife. And don't worry, those who suffer in this world will be rewarded in Heaven. Those who hurt others in this life will be punished in Hell.

The question assumes that there's some sort of pre-ordained plan or order to the universe. The only thing that can be observed is things going from order to disorder. There's even a Law of nature regarding this...the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. To believe there anything other than that is fanciful thinking...especially with one scintella of proof.
The idea of an afterlife helps cushion humans from the harsh reality of our utter death and annihilation....but hold little substance to objective reality..sorry.

It is my belief that death is seen as a punishment ...as a loss ..when infact we are not born with a guareentee of 100 yrs of life... our life is dictated by life itself... and so shouldnt we celebrate the life the person had ...achievements...people who love them ..memories they will always leave to each and every person whos life they touched ..each in a different way..and not have so much sadness for those that still have there lifes to live..

Most people like the life they have and really don't want to leave it. Especially permanetly. Since they don't know what, if anything, awaits them, they are reluctant to go.

death should be celebrated...after mourning, just think youre not going to see someone you knew for a long time but they are going to a better place

Souls can't feel pain. It's only our physical bodies that suffer.
