im looking forward to death- like going
to a loving world.
I don't think I fear death, but I love living so much, I don't want to die in the forseeable future.

Ive had more than my fair share of crap in my life too.
I try to 'step out 'of myself and try and see it from others points of view, then it doesnt seem so serious.Im not dismissing the pain you are feeling but Im tying to put it in perspective.
I was p*ssed off greatly by a person years ago, since then i have felt nothing but anger towards them which I have carried with me, but when I step out of myself and see it from other perspectives I realise there is no point in me being angry.Its not helping me and Im 100% sure the person couldnt care less if I was angry or upset.
So try to let it go.
not got a clue what you are talking about. off topic as usual

Please tell me more of what you mean?
Same here. I love living but I just hope that when the time comes, I'm ready. You hear about people who are 'ready' to die and that's admirable to me, being ready for death and accepting it, with honor and dignity.

Heck with the dignity. I'll go out kicking and screaming. What did Billy Bob say in "The Alamo"? "It's fair to warn you, I'm a screamer."

I can see the value of forgiveness but I dont know how to do it. When you say u step out of yourself and see it from other perspectives, what exactly do u mean and can u be more specific on how u saw it from other perspectives?

same here. that's my greatest fear.
I had a double whammy 13 years ago while in step down {in hospital} after removal of a cancerous prostate I had a heart attack. Not once did I worry about or even think about dying. The only fear I have is the possibility of a lingering death. One which will without possibility of recovery put a strain on all my loved ones.
I am afraid of death and dying.
I am also afraid of not doing everything I want to do before I die....and of not reaching my full potential.
I am also afraid of causing my loved ones the pain of my death and of not being able to help them deal with it even though a much greater fear is that of my daughter dying before me.
Being an atheist, the thought of my daughter EVER dying is horrific to me....(although not horrific enough to make me believe in fairy tales like "heaven")
I try to understand all these fears and accept them rather than hide or deny them.
I find I'm actually a lot more likely to discuss death than most other people .... it seems they don't want to discuss it presumably because they would rather not face it.
WHY ARE YOU ALL AFRAID? WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE? DOES LIFE REALLY GIVE YOU SO MUCH SATISFACTION AND GRATIFICATION THAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO LOSE IT?
I FIND THIS REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT
GIVE ME A REAL REASON TO WHY YOU ARE SCARED TO DIE!
I'm not scared of it. And neither are some of the other posters here if you read the responses. And why are you yelling?

BECAUSE LIVING IS JUST SO GOOD!
So right eoe !
Jamesw84, maybe age has something to do with it. I'm willing to bet I'm closer to the pointy end than you!
I think nearly everbody is afraid to die to a greater or lesser extent.
It helps a lot with the traffic flow.
Silly, silly question . . . do you fear the sunrise? Do you fear the wind . . . stupid question . . .

Sunrise...only in December (mid-summer)
The wind - depends on the predicted speed near the centre of the cyclone.

Do I fear death? no
I can sympathise with james as the past few years of my life have been plagued with pain and an absolutely uncertain future. Lingering death is what scares me and the fact that no doctor has given me a straight answer or addressed issues leaves me to wonder how long I have to live. I know I will never grow to be old and grey and this doesn't scare me, the only thing I would miss is my newly rekindled desire to hold my children. I have recently turned my life around from the absolute despair which life has handed me and even since i've gained much from nothing I still do not fear dieing.
I still have every last reason I previously had for despair, the only difference is the way I view my life, limited or not. Should my time come at least I can say that I didn't waste my last days
