How do you all feel about dying?
#1
We all do it.  Curious, but not wanting to start a religious, preachy thread.  So please don't.

My feelings are I am OK with it.  Getting to the age that you can't help but seeing the inevitability of it.

 I believe I haven't committed any sins to the degree that a God would punish me too severely.  So there is that.  I have been fortunate enough to do practically everything I have wanted to do, so no lifelong dreams left to be fulfilled.

  Some people really dread it, while some hurry up the process.  It's one of life's great mysteries and there is only one way to solve it.   

You philosophers on here, what do you think?  Angel

Don't plan on dying anytime soon, but you never know.

Iâ€m not scared of dying.
But Iâ€m concerned about how I go out - I donâ€t wanna have Alzheimerâ€s or some chronic condition that wastes money and other peopleâ€s time. I donâ€t wanna be a burden.
Give me a heart attack or a stroke or some sort of accident that makes it quick.
There are things known, and there are things unknown, and in between there are the doors. Iâ€m curious as to whatâ€s on the other side of the door. I donâ€t fear the reaper.

I think that dying is taken way too seriously, in as much as people who should have died a long time ago are kept alive at Great expense.

Never figured to live this long. Wink

I'm not afraid of it. I want to hang around as long as I can to watch the grandkids grow. During the summer I usually watch them 3 days a week when my daughter and and SIL are working. As long as I can do that I'm happy. I don't want to get to the point where they come to make courtesy visits.

Mom is 97 now. She broke a hip a while back and has basically given up. She doesn't try anymore. She gets up in the morning and goes to her chair. Gets up about 4 times and goes to the bathroom. Goes to bed. She has to use a walker and struggles with that at times. Dad's been gone for over 20 years now and she's ready to join him, but her internal organs are too damned healthy. God love her, I'll miss her when she's gone, but she's ready for a rest.

Fawn Lebowitz died in a kiln explosion.  Now that's going out in style.

My family is pretty much all gone now.  Only have a son that there is not much contact with (he goes on and off drugs and has been the disappointment on my life).  I used to fantasize about the future.  You know when in 5th grade what it would be like to be 6th grade, when 15 what it would be like to be 16 and driving.  Those things seemed far away, but really weren't, and happened before I knew it.
I wonder how I'll feel when I am knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door, as I ponder that from time to time and know it is coming as all my other daydreams were.   am sure it will seem surreal, but I am looking forward to seeing my  good old dog, Doc, again.  And I am sure I will.

I believe I'm OK with it now. At 67 I'm a hell of a lot closer than I'd like. No one wants to die but I sure don't want to be any burden at all to any one. As sparky454 does, we watch the grand daughter two to four days a week and it is wonderful watching her grow up. There is still a lot more I plan to do, however, if I get terminally ill (or God forbid, alzheimers diagnosis) , I hope I have options available allowing me to determine my exit.

Fascinating topic. I've become 'aware of it' over the past few years. For so long, it was nothing really to concern myself with, I was young(still am by some metrics), and death kinda feels like an escalator where the people in front of you(your parents, grandparents, etc) have to get off before you do. Mom's been gone for 28 years, Dad is 85, my in laws are in increasing poor health....I'm 50 and suddenly the thought is THERE.

I don't fear death in the sense of 'what's beyond'. Like Keener, the HOW bothers me to some little degree. I'd choose how my uncle died(peacefully in his sleep) and not how the passengers in the car he was driving did. OK, that was a joke.

I do have comfort in my faith.

I'm fascinated with it personally, dying that is. I just am not anxious to try it.
