As I am facing a situation where a long time friend is dying, I have been faced with asking many questions on what death means to me. If it is the end of life, do you think that there is really a heaven and that person will go to heaven, or is it just a finality of a life?
@Nancy-d,
I don't know what to expect on the 'other side' but I believe with all my heart that there is one. I am willing to wait to have that revealed. For now I think of it as simply stepping from one life into the next and I have no reason to believe that I won't still be me.
@Nancy-d,
You mean, what does my own death mean to me? If that's the question, my answer is that that it means nothing to me. I won't be there when it is, it won't be there as long as I am. I can get very worried about the pain, suffering, and incompetence that might strike me in the process of dying. But not about my death itself. It literally means nothing to me.

The jury is still out on this one but if true ..... ???
@Gelisgesti,
Death? I don't like it. I think the whole plan stinks- so much so that I believe there's something about it I'm not understanding and I look forward to finding out what that is.
