I'm in the minority I guess. At times the fear of death is so bad I cant get my mind off of it. I dont fear the pain before death at all. I just fear the day after I die until forever.
Fuck this thread is getting me in panic mode already
Whats the point of fearing death??? Its coming to us all one day. Only thing certain in life is death and taxes my friends
Because many fear that it might be then end & they will be no more.
You will not wakep up in 50yrs, 500 yrs, or 5,000 years.
You will not be reincarnated.
You rot & that's it.
Anyone who doesn't fear this at some point in life, even Atheists, have honestly never lied in their bed at night & given it enough thought.
My best friend and i used to debate this.
He believes if you die & that's it, that it's a peaceful thought.
I think just the opposite.
It's a terrifying thought.
I do believe in God.
But even believers wonder at times & just wish we knew for certain.

I should have started this thread with: Do you fear pain before death? Didn't want it to become a religious thread, so I worded it incorrectly.
Obviously, I think we all want to go peacefully and without pain.
Personally, I kind of accepted that life is a cycle and death is part of that cycle so I'm not really afraid of it. I just accept that it is part my life and am not afraid of it when it comes.
Also, as they say, we don't remember the thousands of years before we were born so we should be fine not remember the years after we are gone.
I fear things like some newer studies which say your brain stays active for 10-20 minutes after death & you may lie there knowing you're dead.
Horrifying
Yuck I fear that!
I'm 43 and don't really think about dying but I do fear my parents passing someday or god forbid one of my children. Do I obsess and think about it everyday? No
I believe in God and truly hope I'm right and there is an afterlife but if there isn't after I die, my worries will be over one way or the other.
I'm sure many die peacefully and painlessly in their sleep at old age. I fear even a painless death because I don't want to die. So you can imagine how much more a painful death would terrify me. Can we kill this thread. It's depressing me and scaring me haha. I think about it all the time at 40 years old. I'm relieved when there's days I don't think about it. This thread isn't helping.
Than stop opening the thread and making comments about it. Lolol. I'm 52 so my life is most likely 3/4 over with. I'm fat and don't exercise because I hate it. My dad was a pastor in a Christian church so I used to go every Sunday. So at least I'll go to heaven.
