I wouldn't like to die prematurely before all my duties are all performed, or I have'nt had a full crack at the whip. I'm not sure I'd like to live for ever either. I think there'll come a time when everyone of your contemporaries has died, and you are feeble because of age, and you'll know it's your time also.

Nope, not at all. I live by the theory that a person's spirit - the "real" them - is pure energy, and as science already knows, energy cannot be destroyed only changed into another form. The body you're in now is no more than a suit of clothes picked out by an actor which allows you to exist in this world for a while. the real you will still exist afterwards.

Yes I am scared of dying. Willow was talking about me in some ways. Yes I have my arm fall asleep sleeping and I imagine thats what my whole body will feel like when
I die. Yes I think it sucks that all I know and learned and all my love and friendships just go poof. Yes I am scared that life just goes on without me. I am scared that it will hurt and I will know I am gonna die painfully and scared.
I am scarred I will die in my sleep.
I am scared of not existing anymore. Being "poof" just gone. And theres no life after death, you are just non existant. So my answer is yes. To go back tothe state of non being again like before I existed. I am nothing more than road kill.

Why be scared of a process that is not only completely natural but is in fact essential for the continuation of life?
If you're really scared, no one can really help you with that. It's just something you have to deal with I'm afraid. Look at it this way. Everything on this planet that lives, eventually dies. Simple as that.
Death doesn't scare me half as much as growing old in the current political and social climate.

Its funny as this for me is something i often think about. My job involves me seeing alot of death which in someways is good (although its never nice in many other ways). However death to me is part of life, if we didnt have death then there soon wouldnt be any room for more life. Im not affraid of dying at all, Ive excepted that I have got a time of death and when ever this time is i will go with it. Im not a religious person although i do have my own beliefs.

When surveyed most people are afraid of death. There are almost as many reasons for that fear as there are people who are afraid. Some are afraid because they don't want to be forgotten, some because they don't want to lose what they have here on this earth, some are afraid not actually of death it's self, but of the pain and hopelessness they may go through in dying or not being here to help loved ones. One person I spoke to was afraid that when he dies his body will feel like it asleep, like when your hand goes to sleep that terrible feeling, he thinks he will feel it for eternity. Some are even angry because they worked all their lives acquiring knowledge and in the end they feel it was for nothing, this thought causes a allot of people to become depressed and not even try to achieve anything in life, so they live miserable every day waiting for death to take them. But, most seem to be afraid to die because of what may happen after, they feel it is unknown. In my experience and opinion....take it or leave it... If you have a strong belief in any belief you will not fear death as others do. Your belief has to be firmly rooted in your mind and heart, be it Christianity all the way to any form of Paganism and Atheism. My suggestion to you, if you are afraid, research the main stream as well as other beliefs you will find the place where your mind heart and body naturally fits in. Where everything seems to make perfect sense and when you do be unshakable in that belief and respect what others believe, for after all the differences are put aside of each belief there remains very few that do not adhere to the same core of basic human goodness.....that is the truth. Find comfort in it and share it with others if asked, but never push it on anyone. Be true at heart and tolerant and you will find peace. I promise you this.

I would love to say no , but of course in the odd moments I think about it I am .
I don't think it is the actual point of death that is the fear , it is if I have a lingering illness and lose dignity .
Both my parents suffered this fate , with different illnesses and it was agonising to watch knowing how ill they were and how helpless I was to do anything.
I consider myself of Christian belief and do have some faith that there will be a life after death , but that in itself is yet another great unknown ??!!

I am scared of the possible pain associated with dying... but petrified of the fact that they may not be any more than this life... just a hole in the ground...
the possibility that I could loose all of my memories of my children and family... not for me but for my memories of them.
Yes that scares me
