i guess i fear what happens after death more so than death itself

It is not something I obsess on. However, I had a little bit of a scare with a few symptoms of a very serious malady. I got very scared by that. So, I suppose if I get diagnosed with a terminal illness and it is "real," then I will be scared to die. Or if I have a close call and think I'm about to get in a car accident--that scares me. Even though I am in my 30's so I definitely am past the "I'm invinceable" stage, death is still pretty abstract to me. I know I will die someday, but I guess I try not to think about it too much.

I am afraid of death. I am 27. I am not %100 sure about all that afterlife stuff either. Hey what if when you die.... you just lay there in the ground and rot? That's it, nothing more. Of course thats why people so strongly believe in heven and hell and reincarnation, it gives them a safe spot. Sort of some insurance that there will be more. But what if there isn't? That dont make me a heathen or a ratical, but just open minded. People that are close minded that they will go to heaven and all will be good are ignorant for not realizing other possibilities.

I think everyone is, but they just don't want to admit it.

I'm 15, almost 16. I love my life a lot, and obviously wouldn't want to lose it or trade it for anything anyday.

But life is life, everyone has got to go someday, some sooner, some later than others.

Of course, I fear death, but what I fear more is not being with the people I am in this life in my next life (if it even exists?)..

I've always wondered what happens when everyone's gone..the animals, the humans..everything!

Do we get to live another life? Does the world start over?

Hm, lol.

I'm 28. I'm terrified of death because I love life. I also don't believe there's anything more to existence than the here and now. I tell myself it's just like before I was born, but I hate the thought of missing out on the lives of my children, grandkids, etc. I'm sure it'd be more helpful if I believed in God etc to deal with my own mortality... I've tried, but my mind is too logical and I lack that whole faith thing. (although I respect and envy those that believe)

I'm 30. I don't fear death. At least not for myself. The thought of losing people close to me scares me. But for myself, I don't. I think I've just come to grips with the fact that it happens. Death is the one inevitable certainty guaranteed to every single one of us. I can't run from it, so I accept it. I don't go actively seeking it by any stretch of the imagination. But I accept the reality of it.

I'm not afraid of death cuz i'm one of those crazy christian types. But dying is another story. Been there & came back & it hurts. Now I volunteer with a hospital hospice helping with ppl in the last days of life & I've seen a lot which has only re-enforced my faith. Good question.

Why, did death threaten you??

Im scared that death will take someone I love and care about. But the truly scary thing about it, its that you know its going to happen and you cant do anything about it..

I am 47 yrs old and do not fear death.

i'm not afraid of death, i'm afraid of a lack of an after life
