My brother and I were talking on the phone today because I had to be hospitalized again for the forth time (don't worry, just for panic attacks, so I'm fine! :)) and he said something like, 'You better be home for Christmas and not in inpatient. I am older than you, so I am suppose to die first.' I hear that a lot, don't you? That the older person is suppose to die first but life doesn't always work out that way. And I decided I'm just not afraid to die. I know where I am going after I die and it's going to be a lot better than here, LOL.
But what about you? Are you afraid to die, or are you afraid of the concept of death?

i'm not afraid to DIE but i am afraid to LIFE.
You know why, in my opinion because after we die we will have nothing to do and everything is just over, however when we life we have to do everything in our day life. We don't have idea what will happen tomorrow, what problem will coming to us and everything else that never have ending.

Yes, life is very stressful but we also need to appreciate the gift we've been given by being able to live and make friends and have a family and such :) I agree it's definitely stressful (I do have Panic Disorder, I know stress, LOL!!) but at the same time, it's so beautiful too

I'm not afraid to die but afraid to lose someone very important .. and also afraid of the fact that someday they will forget me... at first they will remember me as the days go by then... it would be a year after they remember me... then the day will come that no one totally in this earth would remember me.. unless i will be a famous one..
people are afraid to die because they were not yet ready to go or they have dreams that not yet achieve...

Yeah, but being remembered is over-rated. All that matters is that the people who love you RIGHT NOW will remember you and carry your memory with them when they pass. In a way, you will be remembered by people remembering others who carried you in their heart.

I am not afraid to die either, maybe it's because of the fact that I won't be leaving a family of my own because I'm single :)

Hi, Truth is I think that life is not kind, gentle or really as nice as I'd like it to be, I feel like I don't belong here at all & personally I can't wait till it's my time to leave the Earth because it's done nothing good for me, How about you?

Read the main message above and you'll see my views ;)
Why do you think that life is so unfair? Has something happened to make you feel this way. I'm sorry life has not been kind to you. I don't really think it's much kind to anyone, really :/ But life is what you make it! A positive attitude can change things so drastically for you too.

In this present stage of my life,i can say that i am not afraid to die.
My kids are not young adults and i already had given them enough advices and i can see that they grow up being a responsible person,at home and outside home.
Each of them knows how to cook simple foods now that even when i worked and home late,they will never get hungry becoz they can make it for themselves already.
They can wash their clothes and make the house tidy like i instructed them.
My kids are aged 16,14 and 11,and i am proud to say that,they're matured in some aspects.
Yes,they are still young,but dying is never in our time table if possible (at this time)
Yet i can say that,i am not afraid now.
If given a chance to live longer,i would be thankful to the Lord God.
I still want to see my kids having their family and had a stable life.

Hello Jypsyjulia. Yes of course. sometimes I felt i am afraid to die because I am not ready yet but if that happened to us, we cannot predict it and you are not felt afraid.

I am more afraid of what will happen with my kids if I die. Not that I think they won't be well taken care of by my husband, but they still won't have a mom. My brother, on the other hand, is terrified of dying or anything happening to him really. He has anxiety attacks about it, but thankfully they are getting better!

I get panic attacks shockingly, although I'm not afraid to die. I really hope that your brother gets help for his anxiety attacks! They are the absolute WORST!

I am not afraid to die. I am afraid of the way I die. I want to be taken out in one fell swoop. I am more afraid of life. I have fulfilled the two things in life I've wanted to fulfill. to live according to the way God wants me to live and I have fulfilled the way Jesus showed us to live. There is a much larger concept waiting for us than we mortals will ever understand.

When we die we go to sleep and a few go to heaven and most will stay asleep till the resurrection. While we are alive we should live a proper life doing God's will. So that if we live or if we die we belong to God.

Well as human it is i think in us that we are afraid of dying. All i can say is that while we are still alive we should not limit ourselves to be happy.. Of course i am afraid to die because i still want to meet the right man for me and that will love me forever ... :-)

Wait, are you saying that you think you are going to Hell? You know you can change that, right? Just because you're young and stain of sin doesn't mean you get an automatic ticket to Hell. Heck, we all stain of sin, LOL! But accepting and lovnig God and building a relationship with Him and trying to do the best you can for Him will give you eternal life with Him.

I am not afraid to die for i know that i am ready for it. I would like to happen this after my obligations to my kids and finish first my missions. It is not hard to die if we are ready and we accept already the fact that to die is a new life for us. Maybe if we are not happy in this world maybe there we will be. So try to prepare ourselves for this matter.

The more we think about this issue,the more frightened we get .I prefer not to think about this issue.But my wish is that i die in my sleep and not from anything gruesome.I am not afraid to die because ultimately we all have to die.Some going before us and others will go after us.
