The best theory to explain this would be The Socio Psycho Transition Theory By C.M Parkes (not 100% sure of the CM part but his name is parkes) Basically the theory is about how much the impact of losing something or someone varies on the quality of the relationship between the 2 and the stress capabilities of the person. The transition between the world that was and the world that is.
I would imagine that your sons will not get over your death as easily as you think they would just because they are their age. I am basing on the assumption that you have a close relationship with your children simply because you have even considered how your children will be emotionally due to your death.

You are absolutely right.Though I wouldn't be rude to you. I feel bad whenever I hear bad things that happen to other people, even if I don't know them. It makes me wonder who or what made them feel so bad. I don't really care for people who don't care about the way they make others feel. I would just like to say I hope this is just a hypothetical question. Things do change for the better even if it doesn't seem like it ever will. As far as how young your boys are now, they won't be little boys forever. They may feel that it was because of them. Please don't risk it. I wish you the best.

You are a precious human being and God Loves you.
you have had the ability to draw us into answering your thoughts, so that shows your capable of getting people together for a common cause... why not make it a less self focussed cause and help somebody else out,, then you'll start to feel better about yourself too (-:
Get out and about get a job, or a new job as this makes a massive difference on your self esteem etc
my mate was telling me how he was really sad the other day cos his girlfrined cheated on him with his mate, them dumped him,,, he was really depressed as you can imagine,,, he said he decided to get out of the house and go for a walk at night,, he told me how he just laid down in the middle of an oval on the grass and looked up at the stars,, then he thought about God and how beautiful and amazing he is and he felt revived and refreshed,,.
hope that helps in some small way.
Blessings in Jesus
Phil

I'm reading between the lines here...are you depressed?
If you've got children you should stick around for them. They need your support both emotionally and financially. Yes they would adjust if you were gone, but there would always be negative emotional issues for them. The impact of your death will have ripples that you cannot even imagine.
How would your death effect me? I dunno. What job do you do? Where do you live?
I hope things look up for you.

I guess its something no-one will ever know. The death of someone has different impacts on people around you both close and not so close. Like your mailman for example. The impact on him may not be emotional but he wouldnt have to deliver your mail anymore. But your sons would be very upset.

If you are a happily married man your death would surely affect your wife. Your kids may not be affected now but they will be in the future. If you have a mom and dad they would be affected, plus any of your relatives and friends. Even people that you know only casually may be somewhat affected. Don't sell yourself short.

Don't be so sure your sons would adjust. I know a lot of people who lost a parent, and they never, ever quite got over it. One guy lost his dad when he was eight and his dad was 32, and it was like he was stuck until he got past age 32 himself and saw that he didn't have to die young. Another woman lost her mom when she was 11, and she never got married and neither did her brother and sister. I think you should talk to some people who lost a parent and see if they "adjusted" like you think.

hmmm...death itself is shocking. as much as i have observed, people irrespective of being known to or not known to someone show some reaction to any news of anyone's death. i guess you or me are no exception. everyone may not miss you but a fraction of a second of everyone's time, after hearing the news of your death, will be dedicated to only you and your death.
it is a mere fraction, but it is still an impact.
:)
so think about life, that's much more refreshing. :)

This is a terrible and depressing question. Don't even think about that. I'm sure that everyone would be very upset if you died, regardless of if they liked you or not.
My aunt died when I was 10-years-old and now I'm 20. I still think about her evev though I can't remember a lot of things about her. She was such a wonderful person and she will never be forgotten.

Sadly, since I don't know you it would simply mean, more clean water, less waste, less air pollution, less over crowding, more land, less sewage, more gasoline, and so on.
I am sure you might impact me in a positive way by some sort of butterfly effect. No one knows.
