Are you scared?

Post by RedGlitter »

Nope Susie, I'm not. I'm afraid of how it will happen but I'm not at all afraid to get there. I figure I've done it before, I'll just do it again. I just see it as another dimension of life. I expect to rejoin many people I love. I expect to know all The Answers then too but we'll see. ;)

ps: I LOVE your Dumbo graphic! Dumbo is a cartoon that can still make me cry. :o

Theres no point in being scared about something you cant change.

Im not scared. I think the place we go to, is where we were before we were here. I am afraid of the possibility of pain leading to dying. And I am " Deathly" afraid of being put in a box, in the ground. I hope that whoever is responsible for me in the end, will honor my wishes to be cremated.

no not afraid of dying but am afraid of a terminal illness with prolonged suffering. I have to change my will now that I think about this.

I would like to say that I am not afraid of dying, but then I never have been in a serious situation where I had to face my mortality.

My friend was on a plane that had engine failure and started free falling out of the sky, the plane corrected itself thankfully, but she said that there were big grown tough guys crying like babies, (Understandably, I must add),

and others who appeared ‘weak’ laughing it off and comforting those around them.

I don’t walk around in fear of death, but I am not inviting it, and I try to compensate any fear of death with love for life, and for those around me who I may in some small way have a positive impact on while I am here.

I am too. I imagine that the actual moment of death is fear free because it has no past and no future, it's merely a moment. But just before that moment, if you're aware that death is imminent, must be more than a bit scary, in my opinion.
