I'm not ready to go, no. I don't know if anyone ever really is. I'm sorry to hear that you are dying. (Is it a terminal illness? That must be very difficult to face. I can't imagine it...) In a sense you might say that we are all dying, from the time that we're born. Most of us don't know when death will come (except if they're psychic or if they take their own lives which is wrong & is a crime against oneself, against everyone you know, against nature & the universe itself, a terrible mistake that can't be undone) but being mortal we know that it's coming.

I am a Christian & I believe in the afterlife. I have lived a good life & I believe that I will go to Heaven. I believe that death is not a terrible thing but a doorway into another (eternal) life.

Be at peace my friend & enjoy every moment you have on this earth, how ever many or few there may be. This life is only the beginning. These bodies are temporary. Our souls are eternal. They live forever. Life will continue for you, just on another plane, in another form...

Have you ever had a wonderful dream? One where you were flying for instance (those are my favourite)? A dream so beautiful you never wanted to wake up? That's what I imagine Heaven is like. You go to sleep & enter a wonderful dream & you never wake up out of it...

God bless...take care.

I don't think anyone is totally ready to die. all life forms want to live.......knowing that you're dying, in a certain way, has an advantage over those who don't have a terminal disease(or whatever it is you have) cuz it's all focused and real for you. Most people in their minds know that they are going to die but it's only a thought and believed to be in some far off future. You know that you're dying. It's real. This is also an opportunity to see what you value; to open up to whatever you're gonna face with compassion--as best as possible.

.....and it's true we are dying every moment...cells are dying......in-breath dies to the out-breath....it's a process......the way I think to look at death is the same way a person can look at life: with an moment to moment awareness of compassion and a sense of wonder. Death can be seen as an adventure. Not that it won't be terrifying but fear of the unknown is normal. It's all coming up faster for someone who is facing death...and it's all there to be opened up to in gentleness. Fear, doubt, etc. All of it. Yes to it all.

It's about letting go and letting it happen...........It's the attitude towards death that is more important.

I've been outside of the body and it can seem very scary but really, there is nothing that can hurt who we truly are.

Forms change but the formless essence of who we are is never touched by those transitions.

I think that the process of aging and dying all depends upon the state of the mind. There are literally hundreds of thousands of documented cases where individuals with fatal diseases or conditions experienced a complete turn around in their health, merely because they chose not to believe in or take any stock in that condition.

Subconsciously, we all already know that our body is perfectly capable of mending itself, when our mind and body work together as a whole that is. That's why when someone we know is about to die, we instinctually say something like, "Come on. I need you to fight this." That's because, instinctually, we already know that that person has the ability to pull themselves out of it. Unfortunately, however, in most cases though, we do not, simply because we don't believe that we are capable.

IN SHORT, the intricate systems in our body are made to take on just about anything. Don't focus on your condition at all, even the positive. Giving it any mental energy only perpetuates it's existence. Instead, focus on other things. Think about how healthy your body is & imagine your insides plugging along at a nice healthy pace. Put your mind into the place you were before all this happened. If you do this 100%, you will see improvement. Guaranteed.

If you are, in fact, dying. You have nothing else to lose. We are all going to die someday & if we focus on what's good in our lives, the time we have, will be incredibly rich & enjoyable.

Take care!

Ready or not.. we will all go..

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of dispriz’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all.."

We need not worry about the after.. as we didn't before we existed..

I have no fear of death, now whether or not that means I'm ready for it I don't know. If I were to die tomorrwo though it really wouldn't matter because I would be just that, dead. I would have no feelings, no thoughts, no needs it would be as though I were in a deep sleep not dreaming just sleeping and have no idea that I am in fact asleep. If you really are dieing I'm truly sorry I hope you led a good life and had fun while you were able. Don't be afraid of death, embrace it, we will all die no matter what it is the last part of living. You shouldn't have any worries cuz guess what you don't have to worry anymore about anything. I hope this helped in someway and I hope you find what you were looking for.

A good way to look at dying, boy I can write for the whole day which is not a problem at all cause don't have anything to do really.

And that's make time seems to stop and you definately gonna die sooner than I do.
But.. if I'm too lazy to get my *** of this couch and have something to eat before my heart stop well....I'l catch you soon.

Meanwhile, sit down and let me tell you a story.

A week ago, I saw my neighbour Grandma Kelly sitting in her porch cleaning some plates.
She's adorable nice little lady who have no family anymore, so I talk to her a lot and if you think Titanic is the greatest love story ever, it's a tip of ice berg compare to hers.

She really nice to everybody and taking care of herself, spf 15, vitamins, yoga, and she's also a vegan.
A year ago she tried to do this insane diet, I forget the term but you can only eat..get this....anything that's lifeless.
That means rotten fruits falls from it's tree, dead plant.

Call me crazy but after spent billon of years to get to the top of food chain and I get to eat dead celery....sound f***ing delicious.

Anyway, I sat next to her and asked what's with the china.
She said, " well dear, I really miss Earl (her husband) lately, and tomorrow is our 60th anniversary. So I want to make a special dinner for us. And this will be the last time I will celebrate it so I want to use my china"

Um...okey.....(he's gone btw), but I say nothing and let her do her thing.
Two days later I saw an ambulance in front of her house, she have a heart attack and didn't make it.

She have a gut feeling that her time was near, and she want to celebrate and embrace it.
She was such a brave lady, maybe because she think she will meet her husband soon, so she have her peace.

So, we're not any special than all animals and plants in the world.
We all dying, have your peace like I am.

It help if you feel you have good karma, but if not....good luck mate.

Please understand that death is only a part of the entire cycle we humans go through.
I'm a seventy+ senior who believes that the dying part is probably the easiest thing we have to do while on this earthly wheel.
At 36 I suffered a stroke that led to a near-death experience and from that point on, I had no fear of dying. It's a beautiful experience, far nicer than most any we've had here on the earth plane. All your friends and family that have passed before you will be waiting to welcome you. The colors are absolutely magnificent and the music is otherworldly. So, no, I fear not the grim reaper. He's not so grim to me. At this stage of my life, I'd just as soon invite my death as live in pain and unable to take proper care of myself. And yes, I do believe we can "invite" our own death just as I believe we also pick our time of birth and our parents. Dying is an honorable thing, I think, and not to be feared. Just live your life's remaining days as well as you can so you'll have little to feel sorry for when you leave.
Do suggest to your watching loved ones that they respect your wishes now and find it within themselves to let go whenever you are ready to leave. Some will try to hold you back and you may hold yourself back for their sakes. But if you begin talking with these folks and explaining what you want/need from them now and at the hour, perhaps they will cheer you through the transition, as I believe ought to be done.
God Speed your journey!

yea, I am ready. Look at it as a video game, you play, you play, then game over. life is as boring and bland as the next at times. So it doesn't matter either way.You loose some, you win some, and sometimes you die.

Just have fun while you can, and when it comes, it comes. Its no big deal...what are you going to do anyway? live a long life of annoyances and pains? Now you have the ability of not having to put up with any of that crap--everybody will be at your disposal, make it just one big party, you can do whatever the hell you want.

Think about it this way, your not going to know your dead when your dead...so its just like fading...when you fade--think your going to wake up--and you should feel like you just had the blast of your life before waking up tomorrow.

Furthermore, do all the **** you ever wanted to do. Break the law, destroy property, have fun...cuz you might as well be dead. So do all the crazy *** crap you ever wanted to do mate...I think your lucky rather...you can live in a couple a days what we live for working our entire lvies...have fun.

That is my suggestion. If you do not have excessive mobility. Then, try something to that equivalent but where someone can move you around...but have the spirit of the attitude I outlined above..

Good luck brotha! and I'll see you up ahead..
bon voyage!

I don't know if i could say i'm ready to die, but if there is somenthing i'm pretty sure, is that i'm not afraid to die. Death is part of life, it's what comes next.
I don't know what to say to you at this exact moment, you said you are dieing, but ...just think out there are so many people who are already dead in life, and to them, loosing this life will be the biggest gift, a remarkable award. What a contradiction ah?.
Be strong.
We all go there sooner than later. The difference is that some, goes first.
Be blessed.

I have always thought that someone that is dying, that has been given a particular time frame for the remaining time of their life, has pretty much a Carte Blanche, a black card if you will. Someone in that position could basically do anything they wanted without any concern for possible repurcussions because they could very well be dead before they were caught, let alone brought to bare on the matter. It should be free reign to live without rules, without restrictions, and without reagard. At least that is what I will do when that time comes, although fatal conditions are hard to come by these days and people that are willing to pass them on are even rarer.
