The short answer is no, I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of the pain associated with dying.

No death does not frighten me, it never has actually.

Are you afraind of 1750?
When you did not exist?
Are you afraind of 2150, when you won't exist?

"Death is nothing to us
When we exist, death is not;
and when death exists, we are not.
Why fear death?"--Epicurus

Not in the slightest. I'm very comfortable in my own mortality, and there are some days that I think I would probably prefer it to the daily grind experienced here. I also approach the concept of an Afterlife with mainly curiosity. I'm ok with whatever happens, even if whatever happens is nothing. All possibilities are open, and I'm excited to find out what the truth is.

I am not and actually look forward to it as long as its not long and painful. I'm tired of this planet.

No, not of death. But I do think about kinds of things leading to death. I hope to go quickly and to be able to go quietly if I am terminally ill.

Terrified - Am I the only one being honest on this string?

I'm afraid of the act of dying. Will I suffer terribly? I hope not! Mostly it makes me sad to think I'll never see my loved ones again, so I hope to die before any of my children or grandchildren.

What bothers me about death currently is the vast amount of unfinished business. Since you did not ask for death there would have to be many things that you would want to continue. I'm not afraid of death really, but you might say I'm afraid of the pain of death. I don't want there to be any pain.

Right now? No. If I start experiencing chest pains? Damn right, I am.

I watched this in my mum's death. She'd spent all of the previous Christmas vocally wishing she was dead before the next one, in front of my (then 10 year old) son. She'd been doing that for years. She said she'd had enough of life. But in the moment when it happened (I couldn't be there - I was 4 hours away when I got the call, and I didn't make it in time) I am told that she was afraid. And that's someone who had supposedly regained her faith.

I'm more afraid of living in pain and torment than I am of dying. I look at my father, a shadow of who he was after a stroke left him paranoid delusional, truly believing that he is an evil individual who is responsible for everything wrong in the world, and that the germs that he carries are actually killing people around him. There's no reasoning with him, and anti-psychotics barely take the edge off. If anything approaches the Christian understanding of hell, he's living it on planet Earth. I'll take going to sleep tonight and not waking up tomorrow over that, any time.

I don't think death scares me. The prospect of being aware that I'm dying, and clinging to my last few minutes of consciousness, does. I think I'm someone who'd go out with a bang in the event of a terminal cancer diagnosis, rather than trying to drag things out with debilitating chemotherapy. Still, you don't know for sure until you're put in that position.

I don't fear death or the end of my existence. I don't want to die in some horrific, agonizing manner, but that's more fear of pain and degradation.

I know that I'm going to die. Hell I have a good idea about my life expectancy judging by the fact that every man in my family has died in their mid fifties but that doesn't really mean much to me. I'd rather live my life instead of worrying over my death.

I am not afraid of death. I have some fear of the PROCESS of dying.

I have lost four immediate family members to "untimely" death plus the ones who went when they were "supposed" to and so death is something of an old friend to me. It is de-mystified. Also I am in my 60s now and the number of people around me who are going to die is only going to go up. Either these things consume you or you learn to accept them.

No not at all. It is the greatest event in a life time

As much as I would to see my friends, family and especially pets greet me in some kind of afterlife,. I have reason to believe that death is more like having one's plug pulled. Lights out. That's it. And that comes from seeeing several people, including my mother die.

As a follow up to my first blog concerning, "The Big
Tease ", known as Life, I do not fear death.
I don't fear pain as I've lived for 79 years and have known both physical and mental pain that accompanies all of us through this journey.
We are here for a very little time.
Before anyone knows it we're gone . Enjoy life, it's the ultimate gift.

Death is not something I fear, but I do find myself wrought with anger over the fact that death is inevitable. Here I am, doing my best to live life only to have it end out of my control. I find it especially angering when I consider that there is likely nothing beyond this temporary existence. I do try to make the best of said existence and find my own meaning within in it, but at the end of the day, that's how it is, and likely always will be.

I will say, however, that life itself is a blessing. We get to know not only what it is like to be alive, as any species does, but we also get to understand the ins and outs of the reality with which we live in. Life is perhaps ultimately meaningless, but it is also a gift which should not be taken for granted. I intend to live as long as possible to understand our reality as much as possible.

I think of death as being the same as before I was born, and I can't remember a single thing. I think it's similar to the curtain goes down and the show is over. It's not the idea that we fear death itself so much, but HOW we die and will we be in pain. Also we think we'll miss our loved ones, only we won't because we won't be anymore.

I used to be afraid of dying. Maybe I'm a little sketchy about it now. It comes and goes. I'm pretty sure after death there is nothing and I don't fear it because I'm not going to know it anyway.
I was with a client holding her hand when she died she went smooth as silk it was so natural. There was nothing scary about it.
I want to say that years ago I did past life regression and it was pretty amazing for a lot of reasons I sure remembered things and some of the things I remembered I realized they had an effect on my life now.
The other was a very amazing experience that happened shortly after my sister passed. It was just incredible and since then I sometimes wonder if there is some sort of life after death.!I don't know and I will never know.
Like everyone else I just want to go out with no pain.

After Life. This implies a state that is post life, Not life or living. I have no fear of being a rock or a pool of water or any other concantonation of non-living material.
As for my wishes or yours, We all have to come to grips with those things, processes, behaviors that we would not have and most certainly do not like.
Just as there are persons, species, milleu of existance that I would prefer to never leave. They have left and are gone or will go none the less. I will leave those things at the very least. I do not fear the state called death, no more than my birth seemed an awakening from some horrid state of fear or suffering. Dying, loss and suffering of all sorts give me concern. These things are just as unavoidable and being born or being dead. Like the universe as a whole they must be taken as givens. Take more concern with the probabilities of what is, rather than suffer at the thoughts of what may be.

Have you ever had an operation where the anesthesiologist told you to count backwards from 100, you got to about 95 before passing out, and the next thing you remember is waking up? Well, I imagine that death is probably like that except that you don't wake up.

I’m not afraid of death. Since my son experienced it, I’m not afraid of anything. I haven’t triggered with fear about anything in almost 3 years.

I'm not worried about death. I'm just concerned how I am going to accomplish the burial I want. I want a Green Burial. That is a natural burial. It is not allowed in every state. I have to find people who will do it for me . How I set it up. Because there is no embalming the burial has to be done in a few days after death. Being an atheist what kind of a service do I have ? I have been doing research on this for awhile. I am avoiding talking to anyone at a funeral parlor. I do not want to be creamented or buried in a casket. Anyone have any suggestions ?

When I was a believer death scared me very much. I think this is the problem with almost all believers. This is why they do not even lose consciousness at death. Transition for them is instant.
Today I do not fear death at all. What I fear is ideas of pain at death, and I fear the loss of all my unfinished business. It's hard to imagine that it all just stops but that is what evidence shows. There is no life after death.

I think that nongodders think about and talk about demons, angels, gods, and all of that than godders do. It is like, "Hey, what are you thinking?"
