Let me give you an answer from a point of view of a man who has a life threatening illness. I'm 42-years of age with a vascular disease that has spread into my brain. Every day and every moment that I live could be my last. I will likely die from a stroke and I only pray that it is a massive one so that I do not suffer. But see, I have a great deal to enjoy of life today and THAT is what I focus on today. Fear is a reaction to a real or perceived threat that causes a fight or flight reaction. But with death, there is nothing to run from and nothing to fight. So what I do is I change the feeling by changing the thought. Instead of focusing on the end of my life, I focus on the excellent time I'm going to have with my girlfriend this weekend as we go to the mall and drink Starbuck's Coffee. I focus on the music playing on Launchcast Plus and on all the good things in my life RIGHT NOW! Yes, I will die, but I'm going to enjoy the h**l out of life while I can right now!

No I am not afraid of dying. There are certain ways I would like NOT to die, but I know when my time comes it will happen. Look at your families ages, are your grandparents alive? what ages are your aunts and uncles? your great aunts and uncles? If people in your family live live long lives then odds are so will you. You are only 19, you have a long life ahead of you, don't stress and worry about the end, focus on the life you have ahead of you.

i've been right next to people when they have died. one minute they were there and alive and the minute they just slipped gently into death with a slight sigh. until then i was afraid of death. now i am not. i don't worry anymore about how or when i'll die. i'm 51. i'm in poor health. i've had two strokes. i have diabetes, high cholesterol,i have digestive problems that can cause cancer. but still i am not afraid of my death. the death of my husband, my son and my grandchildren i worry about all the time. i can't even see my life without them in it.

I have never been afraid to die....the process of dying kind of puts me off, but being dead, no. None of us get out of dying, it comes to us all and is a natural process, part of the whole life cycle if you will. There is a book by Depak Chopra, titled "Life after Death". You may find it informative and somewhat comforting.

I am not afraid of dying as much as the getting dead part. I am so afraid of having to suffer. I just want to go with no pain or suffering.

i dont live my life watching ten feet in front of me for a crazed killer. if you're asking if i'm paranoid of dying all the time, then no. but yes, the thought of death does scare my shitless. i dont know if i believe in god, or heaven, or an afterlife, which makes me consider the fact that this is all pointless.
but to answer your question, yes, i am afraid of death.

Maybe u just have unresolved issues.. like maybe u feel like u need to take care of someone or ur not in peace with ur past. Get some couseling and they will help u figure out why u think this way. Best of luck.

It's hard to explain. I'm not afraid of dying because I know exactly where I'll go. I just don't want to die because I'm only 15 and I want to "explore" more. ^_^ But, I am not afraid to die.

True that anyone could die at any time, but it's better to just live life not thinking about it at all unless you know you are actually in danger. Don't live life thinking you might die the entire time. That's just going to ruin all the fun you could be having!

Dont worry about it! i mean God will take you when he thinks your ready. And if you spend all your life freaking out about death then you wasted your whole life! And that would suck and you will regret it later on in life. Just dont do drugs do drink and drive and you should be safe for a while. just dont freak everything will be alright and dont listne to most of these answers! dont take them to your head!
