RecordProducer Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 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.
quankanne Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 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 ...
ThumbingMyWay Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I am 35 and NO I am not afraid to die. I know were I am going.
slubberdegullion Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I know were I am going. Then you're the first.
IhavenoFREAKINclue Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 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
lilmoma1973 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 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 !!
Mz. Pixie Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 37 and no, I'm not afraid of dying. Like TMW I know where I'm going. And no, slub- we wouldn't be the first. I'll venture to say that lots of people who die know where they are going.
SmoochieFace Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 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.
Hot Coco Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I'm afraid of dying but if I were Alpha's girlfriend I'd WANT to die! (I just made it applicable to the dating forum!)
SmoochieFace Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I'm afraid of dying but if I were Alpha's girlfriend I'd WANT to die! (I just made it applicable to the dating forum!) Thanks for doing that. I really don't believe you would be Alpha's (or one of his clones) GF ever so you really don't have a death wish.
Art_Critic Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I really don't believe you would be Alpha's (or one of his clones) Alpha has clones ? there is more than one of him.. Shoit.. We are all in trouble
whichwayisup Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Alpha has clones ? there is more than one of him.. Shoit.. We are all in trouble You're in trouble??? Hey, he f***s women, not men! Yes I'm afraid of death. 34 years old. I'm also afraid of others close to me dying. My father died when I was 23. So I do have some fears that stick close by about this subject.
SmoochieFace Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 You're in trouble??? Hey, he f***s women, not men! Yeah, but he makes otherwise good women bitter, cynical, and jaded. Who pays the price for that? Decent guys.
RecordProducer Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Almost all of you said you're not afraid of death. I wonder if you have children and how you would feel about them being orphans (god forbid). Also the fear of death refers to death of loved ones, not just your own. So aren't you afraid for them?

So aren't you afraid for them? didn't think about how fear of death relates to other's dying ... good point, RP. I don't think I would have a fear then, either, not because I didn't love them or that I'm cold-hearted, but because I honestly believe that dying is just another thing that's part of life. The hurt and grief I don't care much for, but it's all a part of the Grim Reaper's package. I don't have kids, but I do understand where you're coming from on that issue ~ it was one of the very same things my mom said when she was dying, that it hurt more to know that she would make her family sad when she died than actually knowing that she was dying. I think it's a natural parent thing, to be more concerned about your children than yourself and to want to shield them from any hurt. In that instant, if I were a parent, I prolly would be less inclined to be as fatalistic in my view and I'd fight back kicking and screaming simply so that I wouldn't cause my kids pain.
RecordProducer Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 my mom said when she was dying, that it hurt more to know that she would make her family sad when she died than actually knowing that she was dying. I think it's a natural parent thing, to be more concerned about your children than yourself Right. I hope they will be at least 25 when I die (I will be 48 then). I know that we'll all die eventually, but that doesn't calm me down. When you think of all the evil people who live for long, how can you not feel terrible if someone you love more than yourself dies prematurely? I live in constant fear that something might happen to my children. I just can't say "Oh well, they will die some day anyway so what difference does it make if they die now or at age 90?" (God forbid!) It makes a huge difference to me.
quankanne Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I hope you live to be a little old lady whose great-grandbabies find refreshing and fun, RP ... regarding parents losing children: that's probably the hardest thing to deal with, looking in from the outside. I mean, as much as you don't want it to happen, you're prepared for the eventuality that your parents or your siblings or your friends or your spouse could die before you, but not your kids. It just doesn't seem right, that the "natural order" of things is horribly screwed up when a parent outlives his or her child.

lifeasiknowit Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I'm afraid of death, because I don't know where I'm going. I'm not very religious, so I think that consciousness ends at death, and that's it. So it all depends on if you believe in life after death or not. It's comforting to believe, know that death is not the end, but I believe it is, so yeah, I am definitely afraid of being taken from this world, which is so beautiful and amazing. My mother has had a lot of deaths in her family. Her father was killed when he was 25 and she was just a baby. Her brother died in his early 20's, her sister died in her early 20's from a motorcycle accident, and my mother's first baby before me died 10 days after birth. I think this is why I've always had this fear of dying young.
