I don't know if any of you are familar with the concept of the song "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance - But basically, the idea is that when you die, death comes to you in a way that is comforting for you. For the character in the story of the album, death comes for him as a parade because his most fond memory as a child is his late father taking into the city to see a parade.

If death did work like this, I was just wondering what sort of form you think it would take for you? I thought it would make an interesting topic.

I'm not sure about me - It's something I'll have to think about more carefully. But how do you guys think death would come for you?

As a cheerleader with pig tails and a big bowl of whipped cream.

I too, am not sure.

Interesting concept though. You know, I am sure I have heard this idea before somewhere, not from that song though

Is that idea only from that song do you know, or did they get it from somewhere else?

children lots of them . i love kids so that would be the best thing for me oh and a few dogs.too


EDIT and chocolate definitly, i'd have to see some chocolate or i would refuse to go

I'm not sure, it's quite possible they got it from somewhere else. It dosen't seem like an otherwise unheard of idea.

Something like this?????

LMAO you just ruined my afterlife vision

At 93 Hastings St. where we're the most popular couple in town, and our front lawn has been featured in the Home and Garden magazine, twice . And if you listen on a right windy day, you can hear the buoy's bouncing in the harbor.

he he he he he ha ha ha ha

Hi

Interesting topic. Personally I just cannot bring myself to think about death. Just hope that when the day arrives, it's quick and relatively pain free. If only one could stay active and in good health in the later years, it would be great if the big day never arrived. Modern life is so interesting, with so much more to see and experience. Anyway peace and best wishes.

Death for me would probably come as a juicy steak and i would choke on it or something???

Hopefully very gently! But with my luck it,ll be a bumpy ride!

Death for me will be a sexy british man wearing nothing but his boxer shorts.

I will die from suicide one day. If not that, then God will finally give me enough pain, assisted by the Devil, and I will live such a hell that only death could be my release.

Death will come as Johnny Depp dressed as Capt'n Jack Sparrow

nine inch nails and marilyn manson coming to get me in a "67 impala black of course

Now why didn't I think of that

Like the fog, on little cat feet.

Hahaha, that is hilarious. I don't mean to be close minded, but that really is a poor effort on the writers part.

The only comforting things I can think of are certain people to be honest.

For myself probably Goddess Valkyrie. (not the Norse variety but a goddess named Valkyrie) Though not norse she is a choser of the slain. I'd also be very happy with Tiamat or one of her first born children. I have seen each of these before when I was deathly ill.

LOL. Let me guess, nobody understands right?

Has anyone on this thread ever died and came back to life with vivid memories of the afterlife?

I think the way to think about death and what it will be is to simply forget it. You won't know what it is until it comes, and when it does, it'll be what it's suppose to be. Why dwell on it?

Think about life and what you'll do with it. That's the important part.

I merely wished to point out (for those who just can't ignore it) that the forbidden science of Psychical Research has accumulated excellent scientific discoveries about death, for those who are interested. In a lifetime of research, the late Prof. Ian Stevenson has found excellent evidence, of several different types, for reincarnation. Thus, the dogma of reduction is broken. The mind is not the brain, and is not composed of the same type of matter (I suggest that the mind is dark matter). Some NDEs (Near Death Experiences) have testable components. See Raymond Moody's Life After Life.

worst case scenario: a giant turkey
best case scenario: a ps2 controler

Death would come to me (hopefully) with the people I have lost before waiting for me...along with Slash dressed in his blue jeans and leather chaps wearing his original Tophat with the belt around it playing me something on the guitar....like the Pied Piper I'd follow him into the light...ahhhh.

I'm definitely with REBEL on this one. ( "Holly sh*t what a ride" I LOVE it REBEL.) How ever if I could choose I'd go with this (below)

Nice sunny day at a park near the beach with all my family having an awesome bbq and a great time.

YES REBEL I LOVE YOUR POST!!!!

I had to think about this one. Kinda weird kinda cool...Ummm I most definitely do not want to live to be too old. I don't want to be in an old person home. I don't want anyone to have to bath me or feed me or (Gawd forbid change my diapers). I would HAVE to die way before that. I'd want to die I guess in my 70's at the oldest. I would love my memory to be making love to the true love of my life and just after the peak of my hugest "O" EVER. Yep. Then I would die in peace.

Massive heart attack, 2017ish. Makes me wonder if the bookies...

fast and painless. but rarely do I get what I want.

Hmm... I think they would take me to the beach at night to sit, watch the stars and possibly talk about something before I walked with them into the water.(They wouldn't forcibly drown me or anything. I just really, really like water.) I don't know who it would be since my current obsessions always change. If they were to come now it would probably be this artist's rendition of one of my favorite cartoon characters.

I don't know I hope quick and painless and maybe afterwards I shall celebrate at a Chinese Buffet . Also I hope to die young and not old! I don't want to be old and wrinkly, or have any body issues! if latest 40-50ish

as much as possible painless and fast!

im thinking something like this....

"hey! I didn't even eat the salmon mousse!"

or quite possibly sitting at the pub, i havent decided yet

You will be surprised at how quickly you will pass 40 and 50, and that won't seem old at all. You have to reach the 80s or 90s before you will really become unattractive. And some 90 year olds are not that bad looking.

~~Cebrakon, old geezer of 68

In battle

how would I really like to go ? smiling/laughing of course !

Now why doesn't that surprise me pookey bear?? ♥ Jody

In a high speed car crash, doing over 100 mph on something called 'devil's elbow' or some such thing.
Or, like Jim Kelly said in "Enter the dragon", "When death comes, i won't even know it. I'll be too busy looking good."

AAHHHHH, the time me and my family were going to a creek to look for jewels (hiddenite creek), it was the ride, a good breeze, the mountain, rich green woods, beautiful greene blue and pink/red sky, the sun behind a low hill, or the true ultimate theory of everything. (yeh I am kind of a nerd)

how would I like to die? yelling "kahhhnnnnn!!!! nooo pleeeaaseee dooonnnttt!!!!"

I would like to die in a big fiery explosion, I love fire.
