Am I being parinoid brcause I'm afraid of death?

Question

My mom died in Feb,and I'm scared now.

Answer 1

No, I think it's a part of the whole grieving process. When I lost my dad, I went through months of clinging to my mom and wanting to talk to her every day, etc. The reality of losing your parents is what is scaring you; not you dying. I'm sure you're sick of people telling you that it will get easier...honestly, it will. I feel for you because of the holidays and all...it will be rough, but you will get through it. Take care!

Answer 2

Are you afraid of being dead or are you afraid of dieing? There's nothing to fear about being dead. In death, you have no senses, no perception, no experience, no awareness, and no consciousness. What's to fear if you can't feel fear? You may fear the moment of your death, and that is perfectly normal, because there are so many ways in which it can happen, many that are hard to imagine. I sometimes fear that I could die horribly, in pain and agony, suffering greatly. Even if it ends that way, however, once I fade out, I will no longer have the capacity to feel pain or fear. If I knew that I was going to die a peaceful death, perhaps in my sleep, I wouldn't fear even the moment of death. It is the not knowing how that scares me. It is the potential for it to not be painless that scares me. And there is nothing wrong with feeling this way, unless you allow your fear to put unreasonable limits on your life.

Answer 3

You have my deepest sympathy. I went thru similar feelings when my mom died in 1988.

She was the youngest of her siblings, and the first to die, as was her mother (my grandmother). I am the youngest between my sister and me.

So fear was a very strong feeling in my life.

First, you must come to the understanding that God loves you and wants only the best for you. Your mother's death may seem untimely but God knew it was better for her to be away from this life and it's pain.

Second, you need to find or embrace FAITH. It will be the one thing to see you thru this time.

Talk with friends and family members. With counselors and religious leaders to get a handle on your feelings.

If you need a friend to talk to, and no one you know understands (they never had a parent die), contact me. My email address is:
[e-mail] (yes, I am a minister).

I will pray for you.

Answer 4

Oh, no. It`s normal to be afraid to die.

Before I was a Christian, I was really scared to die. My siblings died when they were babies, so I know how you feel right now. I had a strange dream that I had died and everyone else I knew was in Heaven. There`s a wasy to not be afraid. You can live forever.

Have you heard the story about when Jesus died on the cross? If not, then read the Bible or The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. In the book, Aslan dies so Edmund can live, because Edmund had betrayed his siblings like Judas betrayed Jesus. We all sin, like Edmund did. But Jesus died because He loved us so much. He could have not done it and sent angels to protect him, like Aslan could have killed his enimies with a swipe of his paw. But Jesus loved all of us so much, so He died for us, just like Aslan died for Narnia. And Jesus is still living to this day.

If you want to live forever with God/Jesus, you have to be up to the challenge. First, you have to become a Christian. By climbing the ABC peak.

A--Admit to God you are a sinner.

B--Believe that Jesus died for you, and rose from the dead.

C-- Confess that Jesus is your Savior and Lord.

I hope God helps you overcome your fears. if this answer is offensive, then I`m sorry, but I`m just trying to do my job as a missionary. All Christians are missionaries. If you make the decision, then I`ll be happy for you. God bless!

Answer 5

it's normal. We all will have our turn. You just have to think of it in a possitive way and live everyday as if it were your last.
I thought like that too when i lost my mom. I was only 16. I just hit me really hard. And I was scared of death. I didnt even want to leave the house because I was scared of what could happen.
i dont know. But after talking with couselous and stuff like that. They really helped me out to look at death as just a cycle in life.
I am still scared. We all are scared of death but we just won't admit it. Just think of it as a new begining.

Answer 6

We all think about our mortality. Some more than others. When death comes to someone we know, someone we respect or sometimes even a stranger these feelings naturally arise. How we deal with these feelings variy with the individual. All of this is simply part of what we call the human condition.

Answer 7

It is normal to be afraid of death. Sorry to hear about your loss. Don't always "think" that you are getting to become a paranoid. Just live life happily and you will be OK. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Understandable, sweetie. You should get someone to talk to. A guidance counselor, a therapist. You need some grief counseling. It does get better. I promise. But you do have to go through it. Meds are NOT the thing for this.

Answer 9

It is an emotion that happens to everyone.

When my grandfather died, I thought I was dying. It was just the depth of my emotional connection with him and the sobering realization that we all will pass someday.

I would find a support group to help you throguh this trying time and get yourself rebalanced
