I am afraid of death big time! Not so much for me... when I die I will know nothing, but for the ones I love (my children, then my partner and parents). I am terrified of the thought that they could get hurt and feel huge pain without me being able to help them. I am horrified with the thought that I might live with the pain of not having them in my life. I am also afraid of invalidity for them and myself. I am afraid that I will die young and leave my children.
no, because it's just another thing we do in this life. Can't say I've ever really been afraid of death – mostly, the idea of being alive and unable to make a contribution because I cannot talk or do anything is what bugs me. I don't think I'd like having rendered myself useless.
I'll be 40 soon ...

I'm 21. I'm afraid to finding out HOW I'm going to die. The surprise if it. Death is reality and I'm a realist. Everyone dies, people come and go so basically its just a matter of waiting. So no I'm not really afraid

I'm 32 and yes i'm afraid of death !! I'm afraid of my daughter being without me and not being able to see her anymore!! She is my life and i love her!! I am afraid of what she will do without me around !! She tells me all the time she don't want me to get old and die then dad will take care of me and he don't now !!
Not sure why this is in the Dating Forum but whatever...
It's not so much being afraid of death as it is being afraid of the manner of death. If I knew that I would go to bed one night and never wake up then that wouldn't be a big deal.
OTOH, dying in a plane crash, being murdered, being burned to death, being decapitated, or drowning would be terrible.
Basically, any causes that are physically destructive, particularly external, are bad - dying of natural causes or of a heart attack or stroke... not too bad.
