I'm afraid of death.

Okay, I can't imagine dying.
I honestly believe that we'll come back, but I don't believe in God.
I don't think theres a heaven or a hell.
I just don't think our life ends at death.
Maybe thats because I'm so afraid of dying,
I'm trying to make sure...

I don't
Anyone else feel the same?

well, I think about what's going to happen to me when I die. and I know you don't believe in god but sweety the bible is no fairytale, and there is a hell and there is a heaven .
but I hope you find some way to believe there is a god . because there is . I hope my advice helps.

I feel the exact same way sometimes, I wonder how I'm going to die, and if I'll see it coming. Will I be shot, but see the bullet coming at me? Will I be stabbed, and see the muderer?

going through life worried abou death isn't living
I blive after we die we go to a place to reflect and become guides to the living until we are ready to come back. Im not worried about death. I dont want to leave my wife and daughter but if I was to die, im a firefighter, I am confident in my belifes. Thats not to say I dont morn the dead.

Even when I was trying hard to be an atheist (until I was 38), I didn't think I could just make up a set of personal beliefs like I was choosing a meal at a buffet. If you don't believe in a god, the what organizing principle...even though it must be a mindless one...controls the afterlife?

Isn't it wishful thinking to get to avoid ANY responsibility for how to live, but to cling to some notion that this life isn't so serious that you get to have another go around?

If you spend time contemplating your own death, the idea eventually stops being terrifying. That's the point at which you can stop leaning on wishful fantasies about life after death, and just live your life.

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
        And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
        And also, too, to help you to know,
        That in knowing you, many others grow!
 
 
 
Look into reincarnation.

 
I choose

I chose to be born, – to live or die,
Even the sex, that would be I;
I chose the race, from which to appear,
Also my wealth, my health and my fear.

I chose my trials and stumbling blocks,
And the legs I would use, in all of those walks;
I chose my sadness, my joy and my love,
I chose to serve and not be above.

I chose this life – with all of its dues,
And with each dawn, again I choose;
The experiences for me that wait ahead,
To be alive, or be claimed dead.

And of the future lives I've yet,
It is my choice that I begat;
All the things, however pleasin',
That shall befall me in those seasons.

you are right, life doesn't end at death...our physical bodies will perish, but our souls will live on and what we choose today in this life determines where and who we will be with after our physical death. God IS real!!! and so is Satan! I pray that your heart and mind will be open to the life you will live after this world and to be with Christ in Paradise. Death Is scary out of Christ..what do we have to look forward to? A life of torment in Hell. And hell isn't just for bad people...but those who have not accepted Christ. I encourage you to seek out a relationship with God, the one and only One who loves you unconditionally..who sent His Son(Jesus) to pay the ultimate sacrafice for all our sins. It's a FREE gift, allready paid for, All we have to do is accept. If you ever want to talk, please funmail me ...even if you have ANY questions at all. I will pray for you. True joy and peace comes through HIM! Scripture says , For we may KNOW that we have eternal life in Him When you are in Him, you dont have to fear death, fear the unknown...You will have peace.

There's no reason to be afraid of death. If you're dead, you won't notice, and if you're alive, there's no point worrying about it. Fear of pain, on the other hand, I can completely understand.

Of course, if you're a christian, you have the constant fear of eternal torture if you die unforgiven. I'll go for oblivion any day, thanks.

well I believe in god and I believe when we die we stand in front of the book of jugdement and who ever protects the book will tell up if we are eligible to go into the kingdom of heaven an if we arent able to then we are lead to the gates of hell where we will be throw into the river of fire

unless you die an you dont know your dead
an you dont want to believe that then yah

I have the same fear, I cant imagine dying.
like we will just be GONE when we die.
it's scary o.0

and dying in my sleep terrifies me the most.

The thought of nothingness, oblivion, lack of existence... The very idea terrifies me, even though I subscribe to it. I don't believe in God in the christian form. Call me an agnostic if you will, because while I don't believe any higher power exists, I hope one does. I used to be christian but to many things didn't add up. A god who loves the world? If I didn't know better I could confuse this place with hell itself. I look around me and see people constantly struggling to get through each day, to forget how someone hurt them or wonder if their children and wife will still be alive when they get home, (think outside American or European lives because a lot of people in the world have that fear), and the sheer amount of pain in the world is staggering... Being forced to live in a world like this just to reach a desirable afterlife seems cruel and not something a Loving person would force a loved one to do.
I don't know what to tell you about death. Believing in an afterlife helps. If you can't do that, your options are to try and ignore death for as long as possible, or try to think about it until it doesn't bother you anymore. Good luck.
