Question

Answer 1

me too sunshine.

Answer 2

A lot... way more often then I probably should. At least once a day I think. I've been like this since I was little. I had old parents, and the thought of them dying and leaving me at a young age was a constant worry to me as a child. I used to lay in bed and think about it constantly, sometimes to the verge of tears. Nowadays I lay there and think about my own death, or death in general. I sometimes wonder if thinking about it so often is "normal"- maybe it is.

Answer 4

In my professional capacity death is not a stranger, nor is it to be feared. Death is so peaceful - the path may be hard - and there is so obvious a departure of life, making one believe that that which animates is a separate entity, call it what you will. We should all consider ourselves as finite but not dwell upon the manner of our departure on the adventure that awaits us all.

Answer 5

It occurs at 1000th of a second, quicker than the blinking of an eye. It is a transition from one plain to another. I think about death, not as the cessation of life, but a beginning of a new life elsewhere.

Answer 6

I think about it all the time, but it is because I know how short life is. I have lost loved ones in the prime of their lives, and a son at less than a month...so i tend to think of the present and not the future.

Answer 7

Every day, I need some surgery, and I'm afraid to go for it, a friend of mine went for the same surgery and they shipped him home in a coffin, his surgery was only on his leg, and mine is on my tummy, I have an aneurysm, thats growing, and they say that when it gets to 5cm. in size they want to remove it.

Answer 8

everyday..i am haunted by the thoughts..I'm going through a dark period in my life..in fact I'm not well at all..I'm in depression therapy..pressures from,my family,my lifestyle, my accident lawsuit its crushing me..i only get solace in wee hours of morning .I'm insomniac too..xanax,haldol ,paxal i think of just downing them all at once sometimes ..but talking about its helping me. although im conflicted.I'm now im a drug user ..never thought id need drugs..I'm a hypocrite to my own self and i do not know any other way but ending my own life.

Answer 9

G'day Sunshine,

Thank you for your question.

I think about death as little as possible although it is inevitable. If hypochondria is interfering with your capacity to function, I would see a doctor.

Regards

Answer 10

every moment I try to focus on death. As a buddhist, death is a wonderful thing, nothing bad or worth crying about. its as natural as birth.
