I am afraid of never seeing my loved ones again, the mourning they would be in. I am also afraid of dying in a horrible state, and what will happen to me when I die (I am a christian).
Aren't Christians supposed to believe that they will go to heaven and join their loved ones in the afterlife?
I don't fear my own death, but I would give my life away for any of my loved ones.
When I was three my grandfather gave me this candy and I almost choked on it. Then he came to see how I was doing (the choking lasted way too long) and I told him I hated him and he looked down in absolute sadness. The next thing I could remember is not seeing him around anymore. And he was my only grandfather . Some nights when I can't sleep I think about that.
Come to think of it, I'm actually wanting to know what death feels like. Not that I'm suicidal or want to die, I've always wondered how a dying person would feel physically and mentally
It's interesting to see that even though we all know we'll die, we're never prepared when the time comes (to us or family). I always believed death is actually the beginning of a new life, but it's hard to deal with it. Two years ago my grandfather passed away in Brazil (we were always very close). I was here in the US, and was very excited to go to a friend's wedding. My dad chose not to tell me, since he thought it would ruin my mood and it wouldn't make any difference, since he wasn't coming back, so he told me he was in the hospital because of high blood pressure. Two weeks passed and I called every single day to see if he had gotten out of the hospital, but my mom didn't want to talk to me (it was her father) so my dad was the one who kept updated on his situation...I thought it was really weird, after all, staying in a hospital for 2 days because of high blood pressure? Never heard that... so, the day after the wedding, I called again and my mom told me the truth...I was at the grocery store...now when I remember, I feel embarrassed, because I started to cry right there with everyone looking at me like I was crazy (speaking a different language and crying)...but I wasn't crying because he died (I knew he had already fullfilled his work here), I cried because I remembered the last time I spoke to him, a month earlier, he told me that what he feared the most was to die without seeing me again (I had last saw him 2 years prior)...he already knew his time was coming and even gave me a hint to go back, but back then, I didn't get it, and that's what upsets me the most...may he rest in peace...
Death is always unfair...
God could have made the order of things the opposite...we could start as old tired ppl and then gradually grow younger and finish our "stay" in Earth in our mom's womb...

Hmmm ... what if it's actually like that, except right now He is rewinding the universe to return it to the universe rental store?
