Are You Scared Of Dying?

In this life we are all promised only one thing when we are born, that someday we will die... Everyone fears death and doesnt want to die but someday our time will come and its inevitable. My fear of death is not me passing away but more if my wife and children will be okay when my day comes. I try to eat healthier, consume less alcohol, and quit smoking just to live a few extra years. Being scared of dying is normal, and sometimes can be dreadful when you have a disease and have a certain amount of time to live. Life is very short and we only get one life, so make the best of it!

I'm not scared as I know my time we'll come. I have a heart condition and it's been getting worse lately and eventually i'll need a transplant but I'm just taking one day at a time. I'm only scared for my boyfriend and family of what they will do when that time comes. Right now I just enjoy life and thank god every day for waking me up so i can spend time with my family and friends.

I am the same too. I would be worried to think how my family would cope.

I am not in fact when I was told that I was going surgery and would be in a critical condition, I was at peace and ready to let go.

Nice thought Michael. I am thankful for life each day but not afraid to die cos I know I trust in God for eternal life. I would love to live to see my son old enough to look after himself. Let God's will be done anyhow. Life is great and beautiful when you have love in your heart.

Sometimes I think it is more the process of dying rather than actually dying.

I am not scared to die. I would rather want to go away without leaving any issues for others to tackle

I am not scared of dying but I am scared of the pain I would feel while dying. I actually look forward to resting in peace!

Everybody is afraid to die. We just don't have a choice, if it's your time then it;s your time.

I've learned to accept the fact that I am mortal. I don't really fear dying, but the thought sometimes makes me feel uneasy.

I am concerned for my children. My mom passed away when I was 12. It really affected me for a long time. Also what it would feel like to die. Is it like falling asleep?

every one of us have that specific moment when we will die , we cant make our life longer , but we can make it healthier so we live better , but when the moment comes, never going to hold it back or delay it even one second, being afraid is normal, yes ,, but sometimes if you think how you will be received on the other side , what will be , and how it will be , will you be on the right side ? will you drawn in your life results? who ever you will leave behind, if you prepare them for their lives and they know how life is, you dont have to think about them , cos life will go on and things will be changed , we will never know , if their lives will be better when we are not around or worst ,,, all we need to think about it is ,,, how are we doing in this life so we prepare for the next
