Scared of dying

[Celeste]

I have felt like you do since my younger brother died. And i discovered his body. I shouldn't be so bothered if I didn't have kids.
I occasionally comfort myself with these words!


“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

Mark Twain

Sorry to hear about your brother, must have been a terrible time for you and your family. I found my mum so I know what an awful shock it is. Hope you're doing ok.

I get scared about the prospect of death, if i dwell on it. I also have a pretty stout mentality that helps me.

We came from an exploding star long ago and a star will take us all again one day.
Not much to cling onto in that i know but it is what it is.

Enjoy your time now mate because we get so little of it.

When it happens, it happens, and there is bugger all you can do to stop it.

Enjoy tomorrow, as it may be your last sunrise!

I suppose I was fortunate in a way when both my parents died they didn't suffer, so I hope I go the same way they did.

Was it one of the Marx Brothers that said 'death doesn't worry me, because I intend to be somewhere else when it happens'.

Maybe it's an adventure into an afterlife in heaven.

Maybe we'll come back as a baby turtle and get skewered to death by a bird with a huge beak on a beach somewhere human holiday makers describe as 'heavenly' and 'paradise on earth' in their reviews

Who knows what happens when you die, but it takes a fifth of a second and there is no return.

I just hope the beginning of my demise is painless, like my parents.

I've been trapped in this state of mind for a few years now. Given I'm 18, it seems a little strange too. Oh well, just listen to music when you go to bed at night, that usually blocks it out for me.

Bluemoon is full of existentialists.

Dying? I know fuck all about it. Same as everyone else.

Best way to get rid of the fear is to take control of your death, you decide when you die. Go and grab the toaster, take it upstairs, plug it in and take it into the bath with you

Thinking about this lately.. it scares the shit out of me.

Not dying when I'm like 80 in my sleep, but getting an illness like cancer and dying early..

You will get eaten my maggots and worms. I wouldn't worry about it though, you won't feel a thing.

Get yourself a bird and find something do to take your mind off dying.

Not if you choose to be 'kebabbed' at the crem! Buy that City jigsaw - that'll take yer mind off most things!

I'm most concerned that I may have forgotten to delete my browsing history.

That's why you have a porn buddy.

My dad has been given 7 years left to live as he suffers with Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (better known as Pigeon-breeder's Disease) we had a budgie for years when I was a kid and apparently just inhaling the powder from their feathers or the fumes from their droppings can set this off!

Anyway my dad has been suffering for the last few years with it pretty bad to the point where he needs an oxygen tank and has left him in a bad way, he went to the GP a few months ago and they told him he has 7 years left, at first it was devastating news but I told him to just live on and take every day as they come because life isn't worth pondering on something that is out of our control!
