I,m a christian, and i firmly believe in the after-life, but that's not to say when i've either had a good heart flutter, or a near miss when driving my car, etc... that i haven't been scared out of my wits, about dying whenever something like that happens. How about you, are you comfortable with it, or is it always in the back of your mind?

I'm so glad you have Christ in your life. Don't forget Phillipians ch. 4. Worrrying does nothing for your life!
I have to agree with what another has said, that jittery feeling after a near miss is your body's natural reaction. But what they didn't say and what you need to remember is that adrenaline being pumped very QUICKLY by your pounding heart all over, is a gift from God and how He designed us! It helps us flee from a harmful situation, gives us super strength, and helps us to not feel pain! Its not necessarily FEAR.
I am only afraid of the pain of dying (not death or what's after) and leaving my children right now. They are too young to truly accept Christ and I don't want to leave until I see and know that they all LOVE HIM!
The only thing that we should be scared of is leaving this life without loving Christ and taking as many with us as we can!

death its self does not scare me, to be honest what scares me is what i am leaving behind. My kids, my family....all the thing i love so much and to picture everything without me in it scares the crap outa me. I've known for a while that I may have anywhere from 2 to 5 years and i'm still kicking strong 4 years later(they have now said 5 to 10 years) but not a day goes by that i dont think about what my kids will have to go through without mommy there to protect them and hold them and watch them grow up into wonderful adults. Life still goes on even after we are no longer here, death is a part of life and to let it scare you is to never really live. very good question, got me tearing up.

To be truthful, no. I understand that lots of people are scared of dieing, I used to be myself. But why are people afraid of dieing?
Yes, I understand that you think it might hurt or something, but that would end. I am a Christian and love God and Jesus. I know that if I die, then it will just be a little thing and I will go to heaven. Heaven lasts forever. Life is just a little part in the rest of what will happen. All you can do is make the best of what you do on this planet and then move on. God has a plan for everyone and he will guide you and be with you wherever you go.

Last year I had cancer and currently I am in remission. The time I was diagnosed I didn't fear death .. I feared loosing my life with my family and missing all the wonderful events to come. Weddings, Grandchildren, growing old and traveling... So now that I am in remission I live for every day. And if I die I die ... I don't like the the pain of dying though.. that is the hard part but Jesus had to suffer too.. right?
The most important thing is to live today as if it was your last. Love life.... don't worry about death.

I think its always behind someones mind. It scares me even being an ER nurse and seeing it all the time, I think it makes me more aware how easily life can be taken. Driving to the store, crossing the street or having surgery. You cant let it be your focus however, it will tear you up. Positive thinking is truly magical, be happy but careful and know that nobody knows when their time is up. I lost a dear friend last year from an illnes...a healthy female that left a baby and a husband behind and it just kills me still to think WHY? But she lived a happy life, not negative, and made the most of everyday which what I live by now. I love and kiss my kids TOO MUCH....and appreciate what I have........

I'll be honest and say that I am not only scared to die, but find myself preoccupied with it in my mind.
While there may be an afterlife, I do not believe in it. Please don't come down on me as I do not come down on those who do. I believe this life is the only one I'll have and so I try to live it accordingly. I give and I love and I cherish, but even though I do these things the thought of death frightens me.
I believe what scares me the most is the thought of dying before my loved one. I cannot fathom his anguish and his pain if I were to leave him. I worry about whether or not he'll be all right... if he'll keep his head above the tide... if he'll find a way to move on. I sadden myself over not being able to hold or kiss or laugh with him again.
*sigh*
If there is an afterlife though, I do hope to make it there as I do lead a life with a heart of gold.

Not sure why ou have this question in the baby name place, but I will answer any how.
Yes, to be honest I am scared of Death. I never was until my son, age 21 died. I guess because it is the ultimite loss of control.
I am a Christian myself and have always been strong in my belief of the spiritual afterlife.
I even had a near death experience which was amazing and peaceful. I was in the white light and didn't have one human fraility.
My fear might not be all that much fear but more overwhelmed in the fact that once outside of our earthly bodies there is something out there that I can't begin to comprehend. It is so awsome that I often feel like I can't deal with it. I realize this has much to do with the death of my child because of a mother I grew him within me and nursed him and raised him. It is a huge loss.
Many people refuse to think about their own death and live in a sort of denial state of being.
My dad, to me, was the strongest (in a gentle way) most spiritual man I ever knew. He died of a brain tumor. He had times of being scared and he had his PHD in theology.
I think it is common to be fearful or uneasy when thinking about our own death.

I'm not comfortable with it at all. I am a Christian and I find it hard to pray. Death scares me more than ever considering my friends father died today. It scares me a little, makes me think about the value of life. I know about Heaven, but the people who hurt tend to forget their loved one is better off.

The same exact thing happens with me
I am also a christian, and believe I am going to heaven when I die, but just the thought of death scares me (to death!) I don't really want to die, and nobody has had full experience dying, so it's not like they could tell you what happens in h... ell, and what heaven is like.
it terrifies me.
some people think im wierd
but its pretty scary.
