Are you afraid to die?

Everyone faces death eventually. Are you afraid of death? I'm not. I'm just afraid that, when my time comes, my loved ones will cry and be sad when they remember me. How about you guys?
 
I don't particularly want to die - I feel I have a lot of living to do yet, although obviously I won't have any choice when the time comes. I'm not frightened of dying itself, because I do feel there is something else to look forward to after death, although I'm not sure exactly what that something is. I just find it hard to believe that when we leave this life after a relatively short time here, we just go into nothingness.

While I'm not afraid of dying, I'd like a peaceful death. It would be really nice to go to bed as normal, and then wake up dead, as it were. If there's such a thing as a 'dream death,' that's mine.
 
Like Janus I don't think about it often. Mainly because it is now that is important. Living in the present removes any fear because all we have is now.
 
Yes I am. I think about it a fair bit. Being healthy and able bodied, I feel I am not ready. I sometimes hear my mother saying she would like her life to end. She is in her 80's and suffers a lot of pain. I really don't like to hear this but I think she has accepted the inevitable.
 
Yes. I can't ever imagine death. Not yet. It's very sad to think of especially when it's about losing someone close to you. Also, if there is no afterlife, death is just a sad, sad fact that happens to all of us. It's depressing to think of it this way.
 
Everyone dies so I find my peace in it that some day I might die to.. or live for ever if i will make something out of my life I might live for ever if not I am going to day like a normal Bob :D
 
When I was younger I really fear death. But now I realized that it isn't really something to fear about, but it is something to be prepared of. We must understand that we all will come to our own death beds. I do not fear leaving the world. I just fear if I could unlock the door to heaven. I fear God more than death. And life is amazing, do not waste even seconds of your time thinking you'll die. :)
 
I wouldn't particularly like to die, but I'm not afraid to die. I know everybody dies eventually. The best I can do is hope that when it's my time, I go in a peaceful way.
 
Of coarse I don't want to die now but I am not afraid to it. It's just that I don;t want to die now because I'm too young. I have not enjoyed life to the fullest yet.
Death is a natural thing and we have to deal with it when our time comes. I just hope that my cause of death will not be brutal.
 
I try not to think about dying though I know it will happen eventually. I have too much life left to live. I am not afraid to die, though I do hope that when my time come to leave this earth, it will be peaceful and not something that is prolonged or painful.
 
I think about death and dying frequently. I don't think I'm ready to die just yet. I still feel that I'm not ready to meet my God. It's scary to think of what will happen once I die. Yes, I guess, I am afraid to die.
 
I think those who believe in any sort of after life are usually less afraid of dying... It's probably comforting to think that even after death there is actually something there for us, and not that death is totally the end.
Personally I do believe in an after life so I'm not very afraid of dying. And those loved ones who might mourn for me are probably going to have an after life as well so I feel fine.
 
I was just thinking about this topic today and I came to the conclusion that I'm not afraid of death itself. I just afraid of suffering a painful death. I'm not afraid to die in my sleep, I feel a horrific death like drowning or cancer.
 
I think my main fear is leaving everything I know and everyone I love. I believe there is life after death. I dunno how I could go through life thinking this was it. What's there to live for? But death does bother me. It's almost a nagging feeling because I know it has to happen at sometime. And unexpectedly.
 
Honestly, Yeah. I know that people say that there's nothing to be afraid of, But it IS scary. I don't have any religious beliefs and sometimes it do worry, like what if there is no life after death, what if when you day that's just it. What if i never get the chance to say goodbye?
 
Afraid of death? Not quite. I live my life so that if I die at any time, I will have no regrets. My only sadness comes from not being able to see my children. I don't want to die right away, but it happens. It's one of things about this life that we know will come, regardless if we're ready for it or not, so I'm going to have an effing ball being the best damn me I can while I can.
