Answer 1

I'm not scared of dying - just how it happens. Once we're gone, we're gone and the only pain is felt by those that we leave behind.

In general, i'm not scared of anything. Fear leads to aggression, aggression leads to violence, violence to hate etc etc. I don't stand for any of those values.

Answer 2

Being dead won't be so bad. The bible says that the dead are 'concious of nothing'. All that worries me is the nature of my death. I don't want to suffer. That's the only problem with dying; painless death seems to be a rarity. They say that drowning is a good way to die - what!? four minutes of pure panic that must seem to go on forever? I've almost drowned twice and I wouldn't want to go there again, trust me.

On a more serious note (yes really); it's what happens after death that most people are worried about. I believe in the resurrection. Not to heaven, but to a life on a new earth. Jesus actually resurrected three people in his time on earth - notice he brought them back to life as themselves, on earth, not heaven as some religions teach. Why? Doesn't that demonstrate, like all his other miracles that the 'new earth' spoken about in Isiah 65 verse 17 was a real possibility?

Don't worry about death. Worry about life, and how to get by with all the stuff that's happening in the world today. Luke 22 talks about 'the time of the end'. That's all happening now! What are you going to do about it?

First of all I'd like to tell you that you are 100% natural and normal. You don't have a deathphobia, but I think your age is the time of thinking about many unexplicable things around us. You are trying to understand a lot of phenomena according to concrete purpose and reason. Death may have many causes, however it can't have any reasons or purposes. So, in fact, you are confused and perplexed about death, not afraid of it. Death is not worth fearing it. If you persist in fearing of something inside you, it will turn into such shackles and fetters that you will shut out the world and shut yourself in. In fact your fears exist only in your mind and you can't see anything outside your imagination. I assure you that death is much easier, smoother and more rejoicing than thinking about it. So, I'd like to tell you, as I experienced it twice (when I was 8 and when I was 52) that death is not painful or horrifying as it was illustrated to us. It comes smoothly and sometimes comfortably like a dream. When I drowned at the age of 8, I felt tired when I resisted the water and my body weight, but once I reached the bottom of the river I began to cheer up and feel light and hovering over my body while seeing it rolling on the riverbed because of the current until I was picked up by my uncle. The second time was last year when I had a heart attack which caused a great weight of pain on my chest. I was beginning to stand the pain and to feel refreshed and released out of the pain prison when I was carried to the intensive-care room where I think I was brought back to life to answer your question.

Remember that God has given Jesus the power over death and he can resurrect you even if you die. The important thing now is to search for God and make a good name with him so that you can remain alive in God's memory and help others to do the same. Read just a little of your Bible every day and meditate on what you read. Search for others who truly love God and want to do his will and associate with them on a regular basis. These things should help get rid of the phobia you are feeling as well as help the quality of all of the rest of your life, however long that will be.

Answer 5

i'm no longer scared anymore, yet at the same time as i replaced right into a baby i replaced into scared. anybody is going through it. yet i have come to three conclusions that i'm tender with and that take the feared properly out of demise for me. i don't believe we die and decay in a grave. Why? when we sleep, our bodies ought to regenerate yet our minds are nevertheless operating independently of our actual want for relax. study tutor that mind waves are going nuts when we are asleep. that's our idea potential or information nevertheless functioning. even if our heart stops beating and we want synthetic move and respiratory to keep us going till a sparkling heart is got here upon, our mind waves are nevertheless energetic. Technically we are lifeless, yet our idea centre isn't. So, lets be asleep or in a coma and our concepts proceed, i imagine when we die, our bodies provide up operating yet our unsleeping potential continues to be energetic. that's what does no longer die. it may loaf round with the body for a lengthy time period notwithstanding that's continually attracted to the widely used information it really is waiting for us. The widely used information is the cumulation of all self sustaining idea energies of those who're now no longer in fabric vessels. (bodies) i imagine it ought to even contain all information from in the course of the Universe. We connect the UC and that is the position lets meet once back, our family individuals and associates who surpassed in the previous us. there is not any hell. there is not any heaven. there is not any judgement and definately no punishment. purely a mind-blowing feeling of being "area of the entire" back. we may be able to guage our previous life and be certain what classes we realized. Then we may be able to reincarnate if we adore - initiate throughout with a diverse life or ... keep on with the single. that's what i imagine occurs, besides.

I only get them every now and again but only when I'm by myself and have time to think about all the stuff I don't do. I am a muslim, but I don't cover my hair and stuff, and I find it really hard to, and I do many other things which I am not supposed to in my religion, but I know that if I do these things I have absolutely nothing to fear. I DO believe in Islam, there is no doubt about it, if I began wearing a scarf and etc then I feel I would not have anything to worry about.

Answer 7

I don't fear it, its coming for all of us. I just hope it is quick and not too painful.

I used to be very scared by the thought of death, but I am not anymore. I guess I just ended up going to too many funerals over the years and I have come to accept it, that its just a part of life and no one can escape it. Its a way for me to make room for someone else to have a go and see what they can do!

If you didn't die, then you would have to watch everyone around you die and you would become full of sadness and be very lonely.

I don't believe I am going anywhere once I have died, but you know, I can't help but wonder if I'll be proven wrong. Thats something to feel positive about, eh?!

Answer 8

I scare myself with this thought all the time. One day I will not be living. Will I die in my sleep, peacefully? Will I have a horrible accident and suffer through a lot of pain? Death is scary to think about. Once someone said to be scared of death is to be scared of life, death in inevitable. I personally like to stay away from roller coasters and air planes as much as possible, those are two ways I just don't want to die.

Answer 9

Don't worry honey, you got your life to lead & worrying about something that inevitably is gonna happen is wasting your time. If its any consolation what I think & believe in is reincarnation. When we die we go to a waiting room for a while until its our turn again to be reborn...hence da ja vou (whereby you feel you have been to a place, or met a certain person before, but you know for a fact in this life you haven't. If it is really worrying you at any time please email me & I will try and help you through it....Also I not a person that preaches the bible etc cos I do not believe in it...its a fairy story to me, although I do not condone people that do believe, its their choice.

Answer 10

I hip hop from day to day. I don't think it is really the dying I am afraid of because I hold an extremely strong belief in the after life. It is the having to let go....of my friends, my family, the people in whose life I have to make a difference.
I guess I am naturally bossy and nosey and I don't want to relinquish any of that!
And the pain that may well come before scares the heck out of me!
So if God reads Yahoo, can he please take that into account when my time comes?

Answer 11

Native warrior teachings tell us to embrace our death. It is inevitable, and as
you say, too many run around like a "chicken with its head cut off", worrying about dying. Self-destructing with drugs and negative behavoir.
Death is just a transition from the material world we live in, to the "spirit"
world we came from. Creation is multi-dimensional.
Jesus said that, "Nothing can go to Heaven, except that which came from Heaven, including Himself." And when He was leaving this world, He told the
Disciples, "I am leaving now, and where I'm going, you know the way!"
Many good people will perish in the coming times, before the Rapture.
But those who die in Christ will be raised "first", and caught up with those
that are alive, and together we will meet our Lord in the air!"
