I am dying of cancer(breast). I am fearful of death. How do I gain some peace before I die?

Answer 1

You are still here because you still have a purpose. My best advice to you is to read The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren. It has given me meaning and direction in my life that I can't even begin to explain.

The key is to know where you are going when you die and this book will answer that for you and tell you what to do in the mean time as well.

I love my life, and I know I would be scared for my family if I was in your same situation, but I'm not afraid of dying. To me it represents a new birth rather than a death.

I know where I'm going with 100% certainty and it brings me peace every day.

Answer 2

i am so very sorry to hear something like that!, I wish that if miracles happen, one would make you better, right away!
It is a very hard thing facing death, i only know, because my sister died of lymphoma, and she was worried about everything, her kids, her husband, everything she had done in her life, i think it made it easier, even though, alot of her dreams were not fulfilled.
I was also in the room where this very close person, passed on, and at that moment there was such a peaceful feeling in the room, it was actually a feeling I never accepted to feel.
I think that as long You have your close ones with You, you wont be afraid, that feeling of peace will come to You.
Its probably some kind of devine power that makes You face it, without fear, and with such peace.
I believe that when we die we all ,relatives, friends, or even someone we have seen just for a second in our life, we will all be together. So that thought makes me not be afraid,
That peace will come to You, I am sure so dont be afraid.
Anyone of us can die at any time but we dont fear that, do we?. Finally I wish You peace, and I do believe we stay close to our loved ones, even though we are probably in a parallel time somehow!. Wish You love..
EDIT
YOU HAVE A QUESTION POSTED< ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO YOU< BECAUSE HE PAYS ATTENTION TO YOUR NEWBORN, I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT AT THE TIME YOU NEED HIM,
HE IS NOT CLOSER TO YOU> WHY?

Answer 3

First, let me say how sorry I am to hear about your condition.
Death is something that affects people in different ways. I think that as humans, we are all fearfull of death, because it is the great unknown. Many religions offer many explainations of life after death, but sometimes self preservation prevents us from exploring these ideas.

Depending on your faith, you may pray for deliverance. You may also look back on your life, and recall all of the memories that bring you happiness and joy. People often look back, and find childhood friends, relatives, or even childhood pets, and recall funny stories about each of them. Before they know it, they are laughing, and have long forgotten whatever had been troubling them.

However you find it, I do hope that you find the peace you are looking for. And I hope that it will not offend you if I pray for peace to find you.

Godspeed, and be strong.

Answer 4

I am so sorry.. I dont think however there is a right answer for your question. But I do feel that you could gain peace in knowing that you will be in a better place. Spend time with family and people that you love and live the rest of your life to the fullest of your capabilities everyday and until your time comes... God Bless You

Answer 5

I have read a lot of articles about doctors seeing death everyday. They say that they look not only peaceful but fulfilled. None of us really know what happens when we die, just know that life goes on even after death -- life always finds a way. I feel for you; I don't know what you are going through, but I know it must be difficult. I think I would spend my time with friends and family as much as possible.

Please don't be afraid, there is a wonderful journey for you ahead. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to talk to someone.

Take care.

Answer 6

I am so sorry! May the Lord be with you.

I know it is a troubling time to think positive but spend times with your loved ones. A good laugh is all you need. Do what you enjoy. If you are allowed out then try things you would normally not do. If you are stuck in the hospital get a scrapbook & LOT of pictures you have of you and your family & friends and just put them together. And buy stickers & it will be beautiful.

Love always!

Answer 7

I am so sorry, and I wish there was a cure because everyone deserves a chance. I am fearful of death as well so you are not alone. I say to spend as much fun time as you can like spending time with family and friends doing whatever you want. Also, reflect on the positive things in your life.

Answer 8

I'm very sorry..!! I wish there was a way to prevent this from happening..
Try to keep your mind out of it.Do the things you've always wanted to do,be with the people you love the most and don't think about the dark side of it.Even though I don't really have a religion I follow,my prayers are with you for your peace of mind.

Answer 9

Life and death is happening every moment, many cells die and many reborn in our body every second.Final death is the percentage of dying cells being much more than the regenerating ones. Besides, any one who is not living up to ones endowed potential is a dead person though alive!

Answer 10

Think back throughout your life. What are the things that you've always wanted to do? Make a list of those things and do them! Most people who are at the end of their life feel that it's not the things they did that bother them but, rather, it's the things that they didn't do. I hope this helps and I hope you find your peace.
