I just to also freak out about dieing when I was younger, but now I am resurred that I'm going to heaven. You get in those moments where you feel like you wouldn't mind dieing, whether its because your life sucks at that point in time or because of any other reason. But when you get to a point in time that you could die, suddenly you dont's want to. For me, I've always hated flying. It scares me to death (not really lol). When we experience terbulance, i always freak out and sit in my chair so still and pray to God I won't die. Why is it that we think we're ready, but sometimes we never are?
So, are you afraid to die?
Any life changing moments?
What's your opinion?

Hello:
Yes, of course who doesn't.
But look at it this way:
Have you noticed if you stay up till 5 AM your eyes begin hurting and all your body is tired, I think death is like that too,
you may so tired that your ody can't stand life any longer, and I think that's when your going to wish you could die, so in the end death is not going to be bad because your going to be to weak to do anything else.
And also what would you like more, Dying when your ready, or existing for year and years but in a wheelchair and having health problems like Parkinson,Alzheimer and other diseases.
In conclusion enjoy your life, that's the thing that wont come toward you, but death will come so enjoy your life and think about death.
Hope I helped you,
Goodbye

I've been dealing with cancer the second time around. You can't help but think about death and dying when something like this happens. And my husband died less that 6 months ago. I think the initial part of thinking about this can be frightening, but the longer you think about it, talk to others about it, the more you come to terms with it. This is something that is going to happen to all of us. There is no way of getting around it. Everyone who has lived on this earth who is not here now has died. So, that is our fate too. I hope to die peacefully and have those people who mean a lot to me to be around. I expect that will happen. As a result of all of this I have taken care of my burial arrangements. I have also done a will and trust. I have discussed with my family what is important to me.
I still work and find that a real break from constantly thinking about all this. But, I also think it is important to think about. I have cried a lot. It has been rather overwhelming, but as time goes by, I have calmed down a lot.
I think the further away from death you are, the more fearful the whole idea is. I think that is the nature of this.

Although I am a Christian I don't feel that I've accomplished things I'm supposed to yet in my life. So, I'm not ready for death. I would rather live, and live it to the fullest.
Death comes to all things. I see my elderly clients - there are those who are full of vivacity, those who are fading and given up, and those who fight to live eventhough their bodies are fading on them. The 2nd group are those who've suffered and can't go on anymore - death comes as a relief - although it's really sad but you're glad that their suffering's ended. For the 3rd group, you can be assured they'll go off in blazing glory, triumphant in spirit to the very end. They don't want pity but they'll hold out until they can't anymore.
So no, I don't want to die. There are things I haven't tried, people I haven't met, places I haven't seen, food I haven't tasted and the list goes on. The only time I had thoughts of death was during depression - it came as if it were a person with a voice telling you to kill yourself. It's a lie and it's not you. It had no business to be present in my thoughts. I won't succumb to this nonsense because it's not what I am, not part of my purpose in life or of the grand design.
Trouble and trials are plenty but we don't have to fear them because God is the giver and protector of life, not the destroyer and He is bigger than anything we think is beyond our control. So, yeah, I'm not afraid, cos I know I'll live and be kept from harm's way.
And if it's really time to die, He'll arrange it so there are no burdens left over for the living, so that I can leave in peace for a better place. When that time comes, I'll know it. But my prayer is if I were ever to lose my mind, or the ability to decide and become vegetative, I would rather He take me home to heaven.

the only factor that freaks me out isn't understanding HOW i'm gonna die. i'm hoping it fairly is fairly no longer a brutal dying. i can not think of being stabbed many times or burning or drowning. I wish i ought to administration HOW and whilst yet on an analogous time as a no longer-so-non secular individual i comprehend this is not an determination. As for what comes after a individual dies, properly i've got lost my brother, step-mom, dad, grandparents and lots of, many acquaintances so if there truly is a Heaven I think of seeing all human beings back would be somewhat the social gathering.

Do I want to die.........no, I really don't want to leave my family behind, I would love to see my grandchildren grow up and get married, so that would give me a few more years.
Am I ready to die.........yes
Am I afraid to die...........no
I feel I am ready because I believe that Jesus is the son of the living God and He promises if we believe in Him, His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection, we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. So, no, I am not afraid.
Recently my grandfather passed. We were at his bedside as his frail body lay motionless. He had not responded to our touch, moved a muscle, opened his eyes or spoke a sound for several hours. When the moment came for him to meet Jesus, he opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, lifted his chest from his bed and as his arms reached upward, he took his last breath. As his lifeless body was present, his soul had passed but I will never forget the look of peace upon his face at that moment. I could only be so blessed when I pass.

Yes, I think everyone is afraid to die or at least realize that life is not forever at some point of their lives.
We just have to accept it cuz nothing is forever-- only death is.
We have to make the most of what we can and do the best we can while we are still alive.. then we won't have any more regrets when we die.

I've never contemplated my own death to that extent, but I used to have nightmares of my grandparents dying.
When grandpa got sick, we had a goodbye talk. I apologized for ever upsetting him, he said my accomplishments were far more; he told me I was always more of a daughter and I told him I felt the same that he was always my father figure. I also let him know that I wanted to be with him when that time came.
So when I received the call 5 - 6 weeks later, I told grandma to make sure he knew I was on my way. We drove 1300 miles in 26 hours only stopping for gas and bathroom breaks. I got there, told him I was there, loved him, would help take care of grandma and it was ok to go ..... about 30 mins after I arrived, he passed.
That was my life changing experience that just happened 3 yrs ago (coming up on his death anniversary on Oct 30th). It was peaceful. He knew it was time. He told grandma to give him a kiss goodbye because he was ready 2 days before he died. They say hearing is one of the last senses to go so talk to your loved one.
The best gift he ever gave me was the opportunity to say that final goodbye.

I always think I am not afraid to die but sometimes when things happen, I will pray hard that I will not die.....
That is why I think most people will think they are not afraid to die but in actual fact they do not want to if accidents or other things really happen to them.....
Maybe when a person meet with a life and death situation but he live, he will cherish and treasure life more....

I'm 16 and I'm not afraid of dying because I know that I'll be going somewhere better than what this world has to offer.I was at a youth camp and I saw a guy have a heart attack and die, but right before he died, he said I'm not afraid, b/c I'm going to a better place. I think at points in our lifes we can be afraid of it b/c we haven't done all of what we want or we don't wanna leave the way we will or somethin. all I know is that I trust God, He will protect me, and if He calls me home,then I will not question Him.

I have a real phobia about death, even though I'm a Christian and do believe in heaven -- I'm just in no hurry to get there! If my body gets worn out with time, I hope to get my brain transplanted into a box on wheels or something, so I can put off death as long as possible....
