I don't WELCOME death but I am not afraid of it. I pray and believe in my creator and try to live my life right, but I don't have a clue what will happen in the hereafter. Just believing makes the whole death thing less scary. Besides my husband is battling cancer for the 3rd time so we do something that not everyone does, we talk about death and that makes it less scary too.

This may be controversial. The reason you ask this question is because you dont know the answer, noone does. Anyone who welcomes death, doesn't know what is being welcomed, this is simple logic. Faith is just what it claims to be,hope. Faith can undoubtedly be a good thing, but it isn't knowledge. Anyone who claims to "know" what happens after death is clearly blinded by their own faith as we quite simply do not "know" what happens. That is why we have countless theories. No one theory can be looked upon as wrong (however ridiculous) and no one theory can be looked upon as correct. Theories of existence began when the question of existence was asked. The question, of course, has never been answered. It is this fear of the unknown that keeps us asking,and it is this same fear that gave us the idea of an eternal existence.

Well, I'm not ashamed to tell you what I think about death. I put it in writing not too long ago, while a friend was sick on his deathbed. In a way it goes along with someone else's answer: enlightenment, or, as I called it, complete knowledge. This is what I wrote:

When I consider the hour that will come
In which my spirit will be one with God,
It is then that my joy will be complete;
It is then that I will see the whole creation.
All of its secrets will be revealed to me
And my knowledge will be prefect:
The galaxies will be at arm’s distance,
I will touch the stars with my bare hands;
The beauty of every flower, mountain and valley
No longer will be a secret,
And every creature will reveal to me
The immense, awe-inspiring world
Created by God’s loving hand.
And as I walk on the bottom of the oceans,
I will look in the eyes of other angels
To meet in them the same beatitude
In which my spirit rejoices.

death and i have danced slowly before.. the thing that happens afterward i hope was real.

but it's nothing like they talk about in the movies or tv. or in those lame shows where they seen a "light" and there was "jesus" i think that was hallucinations.

but it was like everything and all things... all together and i got it... and the feeling lasted for a while after i was resuscitated... now it's faded big time and i don't get it.. and i'm in wonderment yet again.

but 4 years ago.. it was... wonderful.. it even had an afterglow. far out. i'm unsure what really went on.. but if that's what is death... say... i'm not worried.

so far.

:D

it's hard to explain.. it was beautiful... calm.. i guess if i was to use a word i would use...

enlightenment.

?

i felt enlightened.. and it was wonderful.

there.. i guess that's as close to the point i'll come.

By reading some of the above answers, I think those that
welcome death are those that suffer and doubt what real
life is all about. Judge for yourself and I think you will agree
that either they are trying to pull your leg or they are weirdos.

My own belief is that only those that are suffering agony to
such an extent, that death is the only way out and becomes
their preferred option. In such a case I don‘t blame them.

I was revived from the edge of death about 30 years ago. All I can remember of the experience was the sense of great freedom. Also, I recall a bit of fear of the vastness of the universe.

I can't welcome death at the moment - my daughters need me. I dont know what happens after - i try to believe that our spirit lives on. My father welcomed death at the end - he said he wanted to die. No point carrying on when you cant do any of the things you want to do, is there. RIP to all the faithful departed.

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my best advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
You sleep.

I love life all of it.

I welcome death, as long as he makes an appointment! Afterwards I believe that I will take on a form which we cannot comprehend.
