Not at all, we don't know what happens next, we only know that everybody goes that way. Before I went to my first party I didn't know what was going to happen, but I'm so glad i wasn't to scared to find out. There's no point in worrying about things you know you can't do anything about.
I like to think that we all meet up with everyone we've ever cared for and have a massive party!

I'd rather not die, certainly not young, but I'm not scared of dying. I am scared of dying alone, and I'm scared of everyone else dying before me.
I'm an atheist so I don't have any comfort from the idea of an afterlife, I just think this is the life we've got, we should enjoy it and make the most of it, and dying is just the natural end. I'd rather not die in a painful way though!

Hiya
Not scared at all. Anymore than I was scared of being born.
Both beyond our control anyway (more or less) and wherever we were before being born , or we go after we die, we will always be a part of the universe in some way shape or form.
It may not be an understandable form, or an atomic structure that we would recognise whilst living so to speak, but if you really think about it, nothing ever 'dies' on an atomic level, it simply becomes a different type of atom.
Even id we simply become ash, or dust as the saying goes, thats fine too, because it must also have been from whence we came, how the hell we did it who knows, but isn't it comforting to think that we return to a state that gave rise to our creation in the first place.

Whats to be scared of? If there is an afterlife (which I believe there is) we will be going there. But if there isn't you won't know any different, just the same as before you were born.
Scared of leaving all my loved ones behind yes. And worried a little in the way I might die. But not scared of actually dying.

I'm not scared of dying, but I'm very scared of dying painfully. In fact I'm scared of pain full stop!
I am scared though of whether my man would be ok if for some reason I went suddenly and before old age hit, as we have a very close relationship.

my mum died when i was 14 and all i wanted from that point was to die and be with her, so the thought of dying didn't scare me at all. but now 4 years later i have got a great bf who i love so much and now the thought of dying scares me as i have meaning back in my life again and i want to carry on living it. i think it all depends on how you feel about your life in general as to whether or not you are scared of dying

some times i'm not scared becuz i have the family that pasted on on the other side are waitng there for me to come back home. here in earth is not heaven. peace is where everything is.
other times i'm scared of dying becuz i have a little one that i want to see grow. until i get older and see that she has a family and doesn't not really need me, only for mother advice as i do with my mother. also i want to have more children with my husband and my life is not yet completed until i know that things are great, my job will be done in this world.

I'm not scared of dying, I just don't want to "let-go". I know when my time comes I will be "ok" with it; but the thought of dying now... it saddens me, and makes me want to hold on to what I have so tightly... never letting go. I guess I am more afraid of never touching or seeing my children again.... not so much the dying, just the being done.

I am afraid of death. Absolutely. I know that it's going to happen and there's nothing that I can do about it. I'm afraid of dying because I have no control over it. I don't know when it's going to happen, how it's going to happen, and who is going to witness it happening.
I already have so many questions running through my mind. If it happens now, who's going to care for my baby? Is my husband really going to honor what I want to do in death? Is my husband going to be a good father to our little girl when I'm gone? When it does happen, am I going to have enough money to pay for what needs to be done? Am I going to have enough money saved up so that my daughter can go to school? Or, if it's later in life, her kid(s) to go to school? How will my family react? How is my husband going to handle this?
This is a little piece of what I think. The sad thing is that I think of it quite often. I have panic attacks in the middle of the night because of this.
Do I believe in God? I don't know. Is there an afterlife? Nobody knows. Have I really lived well enough to go to a better place? The biggest fear of mine is that I will live such an average life that I will need no impact on the world when I'm gone. When I die, it's forever. Eventually my daughter will have a kid and her kid will have a kid, etc. By the time I'm a great-great grandma, I'll be dead and gone and my family won't even know that I existed.
Hope this helps!
