Some people won't admit it, but almost everyone is afraid of dying. It's not an easy subject to talk about, in fact most people shy away from it, even if they think about it a lot. I believe the main reason we fear death is because it is a natural fear of the unknown. If you've ever read Shakespeare's Hamlet and remember the "to be or not to be.." speech, that's an example of what I'm talking about.
How do you feel about death? Do you just not think about it?

I think about it.. however I try not to dwell on it.. Of course Im scared to die and have so many questions but Those questions cant be answered because they are unknown all I can do is assure myself its going to be ok and take a deep breath.. Even talking about it makes me shiver

It is a part a life but it is very scary knowing once you die, that is it. It is not like anyone knows there is an afterlife or anything and there is only one way to find out and that is to die. So in reality, you really don't know what happens after you die other than you get buried or creamated and that is it. I am petrified of dieing because I worry about my kids. What will happen to them and who will take care of them type deal.

I fear more the pain when you die.Of course it depends on how you die(that sounds horrible), also I fear that I will not see the people I love anymore, or may be I will leave something undone here on earth.
