Who else is afraid of death?

I was raised by a mortician. I was 14 when he died. My first husband died when I was 31. Countless friends and family in between, but really, it was my dad's ease in discussing these matters that has made me OK with it, and I appreciate his candor about it growing up. Many friends have asked me to be their executors because I don't get very emotional about it. It's just a fact of life.

Death happens. I'm not worried, though I like to hope I have plenty of time before it happens

Most of the time I'm alright with it. I can accept that it happens, that I'm going to lose people I love, and that one day I'm going to die as well.
And then sometimes it just really hits me that I'm going to die. That I won't wake up, that I'll cease to exist, that my body will be rotting in the ground and I'll eventually be forgotten by everyone. And I feel sick and my stomach drops out and I feel light-headed and like I can't breathe.
It's the only thing that ever affects me like that, so if I have to think about it I try to only think about it in a general, abstract way.

I am afraid of the death of close friends and family. Not so much my own.

Yes, I'm afraid of dying and my family/friends.
07/24/2012
I try to avoid the subject by not thinking about it.

I am afraid of death. I look at that as a good thing because it means that I have a lot to live for.
07/24/2012
Some days I truly wish for it, but the fear of the unknown is what keeps me here.

I'll admit it, I am for sure.
07/24/2012
Of course I am
07/24/2012
Depends on how i die

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm more afraid of surviving my beloved's death.
When it comes to death, it'd be the manner of dying I'm more afraid of.

I'm afraid of the dying part. The actual death part doesn't bother me. I just hope those bastards in the afterlife don't send me back again.

I don't want to die, I'm scared!
07/24/2012
I'm more afraid of living an unfulfilled life and dying in regret.
07/24/2012
I don't think about it.
07/24/2012
Not afraid of death. Death is easy. Life is the hard part.

Yes. IT scares me a little. I'm not worried a lot about what will happen. I worry a little about not knowing my pets or loved ones in heaven, but I know I'm going to heaven. My biggest worry about dying is leaving my loved ones to suffer. It really gets me upset to think about that.

when it's time, it's time

I don't really think about it.

I don't really think about it that much. I have children, so of course, I want to be here for them. Them not having a Mama is my greatest fear. Also, I know My Man would collapse without me. (As I would without him.)
But, as for fear of the actual death, not really. I don't want to suffer, but it isn't a fear of mine.
I have plenty of my own fears, though. Death just isn't one of them.

i am afraid of dying i try not to think about it but some times it is hard

I'm not afraid to die as long as I get to really live.
07/24/2012
When I was a kid death was all I thought about, now, even though I'd like to be alive a good long time it's not something I want to spend any amount of time or energy concerned with.

I am not afraid of dying, we all have to do it at some points in our life span. You just have to make everyday count.
07/24/2012
I'm not afraid. I'm not looking to die or ready but if the Big Man upstairs calls I gotta answer the call.
07/24/2012
I'm not afraid of death, it's inevitable.
