Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

The pain associated would worry me more than my actual death. If I suffered or if it was "quick".

Not afraid at all. As a matter of fact, I look forward to it when my time comes. I’d like to see my many grandkids graduate high school, but if God calls me sooner I’m ready.

Have not reached the point of where it is worrisome.
Have been in close calls.
But ya blow it off.
But the fear will get ya pumping.

I think mentally for alot of the elderly and sick it is a really bad thing to have on your mind.

Nope. It's inevitable and can't control it. Hope I see my daughter marry and have kids but when it's your time.....

The few times I have been close, in a situation where it could easily have happened, thankfully I (instinctually?) manned up and handled it. But if it were a situation where I was sick for years and had to think and worry about it...yeah that would get to me.

Not at all afraid of dying 100%. Not looking forward to the pain, and suffering sometimes associated with it. I think a widow maker heart attack would be ideal. Do not want to die in a hospital either

I’m not really afraid I don’t think, but that’s hard to judge unless you’re on death’s bed.

I’m not really looking forward to it either.

I've always believed that the Good Lord knows exactly have you will pass away, before you are ever born, and when that will be.

So since you have no real input in it, why stress it?

I just hope when my time comes he has blessed me that it be quick..

If I had bad health befall me, I hope he doesn't hold it against me, to just turn my demise into something quick.

heck, I'm surprised I've lasted this long. or made it this far.

I've had close calls, that I just processed that it just wasn't my time or turn yet.

The way I see it I am pretty lucky to still be breathing at 59 years old. I'm not afraid of death. Just one more part of life. Anybody running around being afraid of something they will never avoid is a fool. Nobody knows when the bell is going to toll for them but it will toll at some point. Accept it and live your life to the fullest.


You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

I just lost a friend who passed from cancer. He fought this cancer for 14 years. He used to tell me, there is a fate worse than death. This was from a guy who was pretty much an agnostic. But, he knew there was redemption on the other side. I think he put up such a brave fight for his wife and grandkids whom he did not want to leave alone or without his guidance. He is missed daily but he finally has some peace.
