I know that people comfort themselves by the promise of everlasting life. I am not an atheist but I do not believe in everlasting life..Does death bother you and why? Sorry for the question..

Thank you all for the amazing answers..I was in Costco and they had a display for coffins. I do not like the prospect of not being connected to my loved ones..Just did not like to be reminded of that at Costco.

Death, in some forms, bothers me.
I do not like being in the presence of dead things. Corpses, dead spiders and insects, road kill, etc. all make me uncomfortable when I am near them. But I cannot explain why.
When someone I care about dies, it is sad.
I still miss my dog Kristy. I miss her because she was dear to me, and she was so much a part of my life that my everyday activities were changed drastically when she wasn't there. I had to accustom myself to a new routine.
My own death does bother me a little.
I worry about the pain it may cause the people who care about me. I can imagine how much it would hurt me to lose my parents, and my fiancé, so I imagine that it would also hurt them very much if I were to die.
But in terms of afterlife, I am not worried.
If I go anywhere at all, I will go there no matter what. I will die no matter what. There is nothing I can do to change these things, so I find no sense in fearing them.

No death doesn't bother me in that sense. I do believe in the after life so I actually look forward to meeting my Lord and Savior. The one thing that keeps me praying for health and life is my children, I would like to be around for all their milestones. If the Lord were to claim His people today that would be fine by me for I know the ones I truly love will be with me.

Death is inevitable but I fear just going a little sooner that I expect to. Of course, there's nothing you can do about it, but still. I do believe in life after death, so there is some comfort there.

I have no fear of death. Why? Because I know the One who said: "I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die..." (John 11:25)
Jesus then went on to ask the question: "Do you believe this?"
My answer is: Yes, I believe it with all my heart. That is why I have no fear of death. Death is for me the doorway to a higher plane of life.

It doesn't bother me. I believe in eternal life, and know that I'm going to heaven. It's going to be so much better than life here, so why worry?
The only thing that worries me is how I'll die... for example, I don't want to drown... I think it would be the worst death ever to suffocate

the thought of my child,my family,waiting. going to the hospital everyday waiting. dealing with the mess that happens before death. the process. it's not pretty waiting for someone you love to die. It's terrible to feel the guilt of relief when the person is gone. the mess of dispossing of my life all the things that are me, that something that is important to me will be thrown out. the burden that falls on your loved ones to keep everything that was yours. the anger that my child and his father will feel that I gave up or was taken from them.
the fear that the ones I love will never know how much I loved and cared for them.
that my family will play "amazing grace" at my funeral. that me child will cry. that I may never see my grandchildren. that I won't know who my son becomes.
not knowing.
thanks for the question : )
I'm going to give my boy a kiss and whisper in his ear mumma loves you

The biggest thing I fear about death is that I will not be able to change my final fate when I die.
It's sealed in a book and I will be judged according to my deeds.

Yeah it scares me. I'm scared of death itself simply because I won't BE here. I'm nosy so I feel I'll be missing out on what's going on.
Actually, I'm not afraid of death of itself. I think I'm more afraid of dying a tragic or horrific death, or being ripped away from my family suddenly, or having a close family member ripped away from me suddenly, or long before their time should've been due. Know what I'm saying?

actually i am not so rattled by death. i suppose if i saw a person lying on the ground dying beside my i would be worried and probably hurl. but so many people in my life have died, that i will accept it when it comes. that's all anyone can really do, just acknowledge the fact that it comes.

It is not death that I fear, it is how I will die that I wonder about.
Will it be painful? Will I suffer? Will I pass quietly in my sleep?
Eveyrone is going to die and in multiple ways, but death is not to be feared if you have lived a fulfilling, good, and promising life.
