One has to Welcome DEATH: Why? »
Posted By WikiMap 10 months ago in NewsIt is certain that whoever takes birth on this earth has to die one or other day. When such is the case, fear of death is not desirable. People who have crossed 60 years of their age always think that they are very near to death. The fear of death in old age hence becomes a problem.

For about two weeks, between an incorrect diagnosis of an agressive cancer and a final diagnosis of a much less agresssive type, I knew I was going to die. Not just intellectually, but full bore down to the depths of my soul. It's not fun. I was angry, bewildered, sorrowful, self-pitying, the whole nine yards. Don't know that I'm of the same religious bent as CBG above; but I finally came to the realization that my life really wasn't my own, that it really was just a loan that some day (now more quickly than I wanted) would have to be repaid.

I don't know about welcoming death. But you can't really live or do what you're supposed to be doing with your life if you're scared of it. -

Well since I know that I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Death is nothing to fear. Of course I would like to keep living. So that I may continue to work for Him and try to bring people to Him that they may know the peace I have.

Welcome it no. Accept that when I die I will go home to be with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Yeah !!!! That I welcome. I'll se so many there. An eternity of no pain, no tears, Joy beyond human comprehension. Love that I've always searched for but can only find from God in Heaven.
Well now that I think about it. Yeah I welcome death, because then I'll live for an eternity.-

I make up nonsense to say.

But when somebody says something meaningful like Chevydog's comment above,
- I want to say something real and important too.
Then I consider the cost of knowing some truths;
- and I decide to stick with nonsense.
Thanx Chevydog. -

I'm so very sorry to hear you have cancer. I have said a prayer that you will be in God's hands. If you hear Him knocking on your heart let him in, it won't hurt to talk to Him.
I'm not religious in the ways of man. I don't think making a show for the benefit of mankind is what God is all about. I do think he will talk to you if you want to know Him.
If not, well that is your choice. Either way my best wishes are with you and your family. -

You know, I really don't think I feared it even before I was 60. Though there were a few instances when I broke out in a cold sweat after it slowly dawned on me that I could have gotten myself killed.

Now it just sort of sits there as a constant companion. An interesting conversation piece maybe; but you can't really worry about it.

I do not welcome death.
Reply
But I do try to be polite; I always ask about the horse (pale),
is that a new scythe (home depo),
how's work (slowing down in Iraq),
has he made any new friends lately (Scrofula and Incursion),
did he catch the game ?
We play chess sometimes;
I have to spot him a rook because
he isn't very good. Death swears he will win a game eventualy which of course is just talk. -

It is natural to want to live and it is a fact of nature that there is no getting through life without death; accepting this has had a lot to do with my enjoyment living each day to its fullest. After a major heart attack, serious illness, five coronary stents, and a life that nearly ended several times, I started living with the acceptance of a truth that I had denied for years: I am here on borrowed time. With that in mind, I embrace most every day with gratitude. Ooo another day; well, how do you like that! Fearing pain is a stupid waste of time; the fear of pain is always worse than the pain.

The tough part is knowing that those who love me most, my wife, kids, and a few friends, will be the ones to feel the greatest loss. -

My grandfather made it to 95 years old and in his last months he said that he was sort of looking forward to not being alive, he said he had lost so many of his lifelong friends and was no longer able to do the things that he enjoyed. We discussed things like my children that he really enjoyed and said that he would miss them and also was concerned about things that were important to him through his life like the land and the small areas that still grew the prairie crocus and how he wished for me to try and maintain these areas. As far myself I accepted the idea of dying at a very young age and have had some things happen to me that makes me believe that death is not the end, I enjoy life and even when in the hospital have found things that bring me enjoyment even if I was in alot of pain.

Life is a gift and should be enjoyed to the fullest, and to do that one must never fear death or even pain, or thats how I feel about it. -

Death is like going to sleep without being wakened. Sounds peaceful.
Reply
My wife always says I have a death wish because I take risks and actually I do have a death wish but not like she thinks. My fear is of being in pain or incapacitated or a burden to my love ones. When my time comes, I hope to be very old and die in my sleep.-

globalwarmer- WE are born with five senses that allow us to enjoy life and one should make a list of some of the things that we enjoy for each of these senses. As we grow older we may lose some of them but hopefully not all of them, for me if I could see the sun rise and set each day and what the rain falling of even see small birds and animals that would give me enjoyment, or if I could smell fresh bread or the smell after a rain,or before it snows or thesmell of fresh cut grass or flowers this would also bring me enjoyment . I have lists of the things that I enjoy for all of my senses and my family is aware of them so that I may enjoy the world until the very end, as for being a burden to your loved ones , I think likely not since that idea of love seems to be very forgiving .

I remember when I was younger,I used to say my prayer at bed time and the last thing I would say is, "Dear God when I wake up in the morning help me to be kind and good to evrybody" This was my way of reasuring myself that I would wake pu and not die in my sleep. but you know I sill find mysef saying that and also I pray " I pay that I well be worthy to enter into your kingdom"This one helps me to reasue myself if I die I well be able to enter into heaven. I know we all have to die sometime but I just want to make sure I'll go to heaven and not hell.

The idea of death doesn't bother me because the day after I die I'll never know it.
Reply
The idea of being buried in a cemetery plot with my wife's family for eternity scares the chit out of me. & worse yet - it's located in New Jersey. -

Since I first started suffering from my lung disease I had to start getting use to the possibility that the end was near for me. It got really bad when I got up to a point almost a year ago when I had to be hospitalized because my lungs were almost not asorbing any oxygen at all. Got to the point that I was on a iron lung (ecmo)for about two week before my actually lung transplant.
Reply
Less to say, I almost bit the big one acouple times before and after the operation. I kinda felt a peace, or a exceptance during that time. It was like I was going to do everything I could to try to stay alive (which really wasnt much I could do), but if I wasnt going to survive, everything was going to be ok.
It was funny to me that during that time in the hospital, getting and recovering from my lung transplant, that I was o.k. with death because a month later I had some complications from some medicine and was almost scared to death about dying. I guees it was because I thought I was out harms way.
Being a organ transplant survivor, especially for the lungs, I know there is a great deal of things that could go wrong and end my life at any time. Such as infection or rejection.
If you think you are afraid of death now, imagine having a doctor practically stamping on you a experation date. -

I already know what it is like to die. I did and came back during a surgical procedure that required me being awake for. I was not afraid, it was very peaceful. What I did feel bad about was my family and loved ones. Today, I make sure they know I love them. It was the only time in my life where I, was not important.

Death completes the cycle. All living things have a force of life that leaves upon dying. This becomes very clear if you watch someone die. Where it goes only the dead know. It is what it is. I don't fear what I can't escape because it will do no good. The best thing you can do is to live in peace with yourself and others.

I lost my nephew at the young age of 26. He was on his motorcycle making a right turn in front of his home when a driver not paying attention pulled from the curb and he went through the back of the car.. this was in front of his home!!! Since then I have lost my fear of death.. I was at the hospital when they pronounced him dead and I went in to say goodbye.. It took this to open my eyes.. it does not matter where we are or what we are doing we are all going to die.. someday so you really have to accept it..by the way I am 50 years old.. the deaths that I have experienced were my grandparents, and older adults.. I was devastated by the death of someone so young. He died in May of 2008 and I am still in shock...Peace to all and you all have to know that one day we are all going to meet our maker..

People fear death because they love to live and not to die. I mean death, in whatever form, is painful because of separation from family and friends, But I have always heard that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. All matter is energy, E=MC2 & all that. Einstein proved that when you come right down to it everything in the universe is energy. So I don't have any fear of death.

Tim McGraw wrote a song called Live Like You Were Dying. It really shows you how important it is to cherish every moment of today We need to live, laugh and love today as if there is no tomorrow. Live in the NOW. -

depending on who you are, death can be a benign deliverance or out of the frying pan into the fire; a new metaphysical-ness of confusion and goals interrupted, or a timely segue to orderly continuation to new cycles/goals. the japanese have said death is light as a cherry blossom falling; others have stated that life is the hard part, death is easy. For many,perhaps, death is a mystery that is unsolvable,and often an abrupt disconnection from loved ones who think they will never see one another again. atheists would prefer death to be an brutal ending of all,justifying life as an brief [amoral] orgy that can only have substance once,so the hell with the masses,let's charge them oodles of interest...
