xohxcdancing Posted January 5, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am more afraid of suffering when dying then dying itself. Death doesnt seem that scary to me, I know its going to happen eventually. I just dont want to suffer, I've had to watch to many people suffer. Its horrible.

Mattshark Posted January 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2007 No point in being afraid of dying, it is inevitable. It is not like you'll know anyway, you'll be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m. Moe Posted January 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2007 You should have added the option of dieing alone because that is probably just as scary to many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2006 Posted January 5, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am afraid of dying in a boring way, i want to go out with a bang. Other than that, i am afraid of dying by suffering. I want to stay around as long as possible aswell, just to annoy people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Nyx_ Posted January 5, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'm not afraid of death... I just want it to be quick and painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silver Thong Posted January 5, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I agree with Nyx and frogfish, painless and in my sleep is the way I want to go. Dieing while fishing hmmm depends really, fishing in the amazon falling in and being eatin by parrahna's would really suck LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelican_Eel Posted January 5, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) im afraid of suffering too. strange, i didnt expect that so many people are thinking this way... i have seen so many threads about afterlife and how scary it is to just dissapear, and to leave your family, your life, what if there is no afterlife and so on... But now I see - the point is, people are afraid of suffering...thats all? Just like me. Edited January 5, 2007 by justejust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artymoon Posted January 6, 2007 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) not I said the fly on the wall who said,.." yhOUCH ! *splat goes the fly swatter* fly half alive ,... "ooohh help me ooh help me" .lol Or catching a fly and putting it in a pickle jar , slow suffocation... definitely not the way to go . A SPLAT is more efficient and quick, that's the way I want to go. Edited January 6, 2007 by artymoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lottie Posted January 6, 2007 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I am not scared of death. If there is one thing in life that is an absoloute dead cert, LOL , we will all die. What scares me though is the way I will die. I really don't want to be in horrendous, hideous pain. Slow death freaks me out! I would rather it be quick and relatively pain free. so I agree with the general consensus in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted January 6, 2007 #16 Share Posted January 6, 2007 My Mom once ask me while I was getting ready to take my eldery Father out fishing what would I do if he got sick out in the boat. I told her then we will save the funeral home from having to put a smile on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aztec Warrior Posted January 8, 2007 #18 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Drowning, suffocation and fire really frighten me. Death is scary, but mostly sad for those remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonhuntergeneral Posted January 8, 2007 #20 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Drowning, suffocation and fire really frighten me. Death is scary, but mostly sad for those remaining. Same for me really. I'm more scared of losing loved one's than actually dying myself. it sounds stupid but when my time come's I have always wanted to die in battle fighting for something i truly believe in (like a warrior if you like) Edited January 8, 2007 by Geordie Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celumnaz Posted January 8, 2007 #21 Share Posted January 8, 2007 knowing it's coming and not being able to stop it for me would be the worst. figure shock would take most physical pain away... it's that mental anguish, the feeling of panic and hoplessness... futility of clinging to life... to me that's the worst.

glynne64 Posted January 8, 2007 #22 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I really don't fear death. I really don't want my passing to be a long drawn out ordeal. My dad's mom suffered with Alzheimer's for almost a decade. It sucked! For my dad it was like watching her die over & over again, til she got to the point she was just alive...no memories, no personality, etc. Just her body not knowing it's "dead". I've made my hubby & a few trusted family members to promise not to delay my passing if I'm stricken with Alheimer's. Yes, I do have a living will, it is down on paper. If it's just my physical shell why keep it? I also agree that people don't want to die alone. I think it's a thing of wanting someone (anyone?) to know that they have departed. What if you have something you want told to a loved one who may not make it to your side? Having someone there to tell, can make all the difference. I also have to kinda wonder if the end at times isn 't just surreal & you want a voice to comfort you, a face to show concern, a hand to hold & an ear to listen. We are all human when you get down to it. Death is waiting for us all...it's life's only guarantee. As the biography of The Doors so aptly titled put it: No One Here Gets Out Alive.

Invader Skoodge Posted January 8, 2007 #23 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Why should I be more afraid of being dead than I am of the time before I came into existence? But as I'll only die once I surely don't want to oversleep it. If you die sleeping, you will never awaken from your dreams--what ever they be..... But suffering? That rather belongs to life than to death. What pain could be more tolerable than that which seems to be final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted January 9, 2007 #24 Share Posted January 9, 2007 While I, of course, would rather die peacefully than suffering, I don't really fear that either. I think my views of death are such that, when actually faced with it, I could reach a rather calm state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted January 9, 2007 #25 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Had to watch my grandfather linger and fall into decrepitude as he died - he came to live with us (I was in my early teens) in his final years. Talked with him a couple of times about what he was going through and he was in absolute misery. Would not wish that on my worst enemy. Nearly drowned once. Got pulled out of the water and revived by people in a passing dinghy. After an initial struggle trying to stay afloat (had cramp) I remember it was very peaceful. Realising I wasn't going to save myself I wasn't afraid in the slightest. Just thought to myself 'Oh well - so this is it.' Wouldn't recommend every goes and drowns themselves ( ) but I could think of worse ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
