is it something we all must fear or, is it a welcome respite from our troubled world? Sorry for asking such a morbid question but I need to know.

"For the living know that they will die...." (Ecclesiastes 9)
I think a lot of people are scared of death because they are scared of the unknown. But if we have faith we know a lot more about death than we think. First we know the Lord overcame death (1 Corinthians 15), and that if we have faith in Him we shall too. If we believe, we know we have heaven and an eternity with God.
Loved ones will die, we will grow old, and no one here is going to get out alive. Therefore let us rest our hope in God, in the new heaven and new earth, and let us live with purpose, truth, and love in this life.
If we have faith, death shouldn't scare us but we should be able to smile at death as it will be the ship that brings us to the embrace of GOD.

Fear is always going to be there, in everything we do, it's always present even if it's a little bit or a whole lot of fear. It's the reality of life and I don't think anyone should fear death becasue we're all heading that way anyway so why not just face the truth and accept that sooner or later we're all going to expire.

Even though I don't fear death, I still don't want to die. Death is (as I see it) the beginning of eternity, the way into the heaven. I just lost my father-in-law a couple of months ago and even though he was suffering so much, it was so hard to let go. It's not a morbid question, it's just life.

There will always be some fear of death because none of us who are alive know what happens when we die. The unknown is always a little scary. And death is a one-time thing. You can't come back once you've gone. My own belief is that the spirit/soul lives on after our body dies. Where our spirit/soul goes or what it does I know nothing about. I have come very close to dying twice. I wasn't afraid.

God's Will... We are all destined to it..I just hope mine and to my loves ones will be like a friendly death.. Where death will come while we are just sleeping and no need to suffer especially pain.

I do not fear death, my fear is that I might die alone. I held my father's hand as he passed away. No one should die alone.

Death - it will just come when we least expect it. So as the boy scouts say "be prepared." God bless.
