I have Stage 4 cancer… I will certainly die of it (unless something else takes me out first).
The “dying” part (getting there) worries me… but death itself I don’t fear.

[DragonKazooie]

It’s not death, it’s the thought that there may be nothing after death that freaks me out. No Heaven or Hell, no reincarnation, no afterlife, just darkness.

I don't fear death. I find the idea of my energy returning to nature/the earth (whether said energy is something like a soul or just my body decaying and feeding the earth around me) very comforting.

I DO fear wasting away body and mind due to disease until your body finally gives up. Highly supportive of Death with Dignity options.

God, on his way to send me this goddamn video after a whole ass week of basically having a breakdown about this very subject:

No, not really. We're all gonna die someday, it's normal. My only concern is what's gonna happen to all my crap when I do die. My collection of Hello Kitty merch? My baby dolls? My plushies? My mom better not sell all my crap if I disappear all of a sudden! My puppy and cat are gonna miss me too. Hopefully I don't go too early and I can get all my stuff sorted out. Hopefully I'll have time to write out my will and I can go out like my great great grandpa did where he felt his time coming. He even put on his best suit, did everything he legally wanted to do on his bucket list and died in a hotel in Orlando Florida when he left us. What a legend~

I've never really feared death. I'm scared of living a life I fucking hate. I'm scared of dying without purpose.

I for some reason never thought I'd live for very long and usually think that I'm not worth being here...still don't.

Maybe that will change one day but until then I'm here to see how I can maken other people's lives less miserable.

[ajarthatsred]

No honestly. I can’t stop it from happening & I’m either gonna go to heaven if God turns out to be real (I believe he is) or I experience nothingness if God isn’t real (which is just what I experienced before I was born). There’s no logical reason for me to fear it at this stage in my life 🤷🏾‍♂️

[TheSkyGuy]

I used to, lol.

Now I just hope that it doesn't happen in an embarrassing way 😂

I've seen a comic by Merryweather once. Death (the Grim Reaper) came to visit a girl with terminal illness. The girl was playing a game on a console and she asks Death for just one last game before they leave. Death humors her but the girl falls asleep while playing the game. What Death does is he takes the game cartridge out of the console while muttering to himself something along the lines of "I'm borrowing this for the next 80 years or so, little girl. We're gonna postpone your last game for a little while."

So, I take comfort in the theory that Death is an okay guy. He might be scary because he's hauling the hugest fricking scythe but he's there to guide you through the afterlife. Heck, imagine making the trip alone. Would be a lot more terrifying.

So, yeah. I'm not exactly unafraid. I'm just scared of it less.

Also, Discworld and Puss in Boots' portrayals of Death.

I don't fear death. I only fear for whatever comes after.

[Roblitzo]

Read, no, *heard* this title in Bill Nighy’s Davy Jones (Pirates of The Caribbean) voice & now I’m giggling like a madman in public. So thanks for that.😂

[naelyneurkopfen]

I just hate the notion of leaving my kids to navigate this wicked place without me. I hate that they'll feel like I do about no longer having a mom and dad.

[igotonit]

When i was younger yes. Now just like most people i dont want it to hurt. Or be prolonged like cancer.

[stanford-nfjk]

Only the manner in which I die is what scares me. But let’s say, I become terminally ill, I’m fine with it. I have a legal will and some money set aside for my cremation. I’m not married nor have any children and that makes accepting the end easier. The last thing I want is to be thought of as a burden.

[flibber]

Everyone is going to die at some point. I know this, that's why I don't fear death. I do fear a painful death. Not because of the death part but because of the pain part.

[jimdob]

I’m lds. I don’t fear death. I fear missing out on my children’s lives.

[DanielSelk]

I fear not living my life before dying. So I will live the life I chose to =)
