Are you scared of death?

I think I most fear the time before death. My mother died two months ago. She lost a three year battle to cancer, but it wasn't until late November that they told her the cancer was back. She died February 5th. She seemed like she knew there was something on the other side. I never saw a bit of fear until the day before she died. The pain had come and her last words to me were to please help her. She died the next day. As her daughter I had to be there for her, but I never want to be that close to death again. It is an agonizing journey. I guess I am selfish because I wanted my mother to stay,but I also have HIV and I so fear that I was watching my eventual fate.

 

Yeah.... I read about it... gonna listen sometime...

Dude... there is actually probably a cure for cancer RIGHT NOW (at least it works in at least three types of animals)

... but it'll take so long.... too long....

 

Sucks... if it's true (i dont trust aol proxies)... my last words will prolly be "help me" No, I'm kidding... I plan to have a peaceful death... I'm already preparing for it.

 

Well there's lots of people who've cured themselves of cancer with raw food nutrition and other related alternative health practices and super food nutrition.

 

Not scared at all.
Don't see what the big deal is, sounds like a bad movie.

 

death is just end end of ones existence. why should you people be afraid of it, you cant stop it. life should be lived to its fullest extent cause we only get 1 jeez

 

Nope, part of me is intently waiting while another part of me is still attached to this world.

 

We are all in the process of dying, right now. Life is nothing more than a long, drawn out death. It's just a matter of how long the process takes to be complete.

There's no need to fear death and there's no need to seek it out.....it'll happen when it happens. We may as well be happy and live a good life while we're dying, instead of focusing on the fact that it'll be over someday.....maybe someday soon

 

There is definitely a part of us that seeks death. Longs for it. :birds:

P.S. Anyway, enough fucking philosophy for today.

 

To fear death is to fear life...we're all going to die. No sense in being scared of something you can't control.

 

But what if you can control it, what if we're not supposed to die?

 

Everyone DOES die, though. What happens after that, I don't know...but that's what makes it exciting, and not at all scary to me...

 

i am scared and im also not a single bit. in my mind it always comes down to how im going to die. that really scares me more than anything.

 

I'm not scared of dying, at all, but I am scared of dying naked. That'd be shitty. I've searched my soul, and the only legitimate fear I can think of is the fear of dying naked.

Unless, of course, I was in the middle of sexual intercourse when it happened; in which case, I welcome it.

 

Anyone care for a plain answer from a member of the "over the hill gang?"

The answer is "Yes."

 

Im looking forward to death for that reason
I cant wait to see what happens
not rushing it tho
just excited and curious

I am, however, scared of a painful death
I dont wanna go out screaming in agony...

 

No I'm not scared of death. I'm scared of worms and hurting people I love...even though I do it daily.

 

Worms will leave your body alone you'd be happy to know.

Death seems like a good thing to be scarred of.

 

For some reason I always thought I'd die a violent death. Or get sick. Or die young.


But that's changing. Life seems to keep going through all the crazy shit.

 

It's the worms I see now that freak me out.
