Insecurity and fear of their ultimate demise...we all have to believe there is something beyond the grave other than maggots and night crawlers

As a Christian, physical death is nothing that i fear.  I would be more afraid to lose all hope in something.  The only way I feel that I could ever lose all hope is if God abandoned me.  That is veritably the description of hell--eternal torture and the absence of God.  \n  On a more secular note, death is at least a form of ignorance.  Hopelessness may have no cure, and the only relief may actually be death.

I completely agree with your statement. Fear of death is nothing new in society so what better way to control the masses and tell them after death there is a life....people die its a fact of nature. Im just waiting to be turned into plant food!

Death scares us all.  It is also a fact of life.  If we did not have an instinctual fear of death, we would not survive as a species.  The way you describe your fears sounds like it is more about being left alone, and you may want to talk with a counselor about that issue.  Loss is a big source of pain for all of us.  Perhaps you have lost a beloved relative or friend, and you hate that feeling.  Or maybe you are very attached to an older relative, and you cannot imagine life without him or her.  Talk to a mental health professional about your specific fears and associations with death.  If you are religious, you can also talk to our clergy. This is a VERY COMMON fear.  But you deserve relief, and counseling can help.

Sure, I'm afraid of getting into a serious car accident and wake up not knowing who I am.  When I was in the military, I was more afraid of coming home in a body bag and having my wife and family mourn for me.  Afraid for my buddies more than for myself.

Being stuck somewhere, I have an irrational fear of jumping off things, being paralysed, blind or deaf. I dont know how other people do it. growing old alone, being in a car/plane crash. Losing someone I love. As you can see im a nervous person!but you shouldnt waste your life on worrying

No, I am not really afraid of death.  I do not want to die anytime soon because I feel I have a purpose to achieve before I go, but when my times comes I'll be at rest from all the qualms of this world until my Day of Judgement.

Fear.  People are fearful of those who are not "like" them.  Its sad and sickening.  It is also dangerous to people who are in the minority.  People are fearful for many reasons but it all comes down to being fearful and not having the ability to see beyond those fears.

Living worries me more. Death is certain, what's to worry about?  Why worry about something that you never had control of. Worry about making the best of your life.

Something tells me that you’re not looking for these answers, but here goes. There are many reasons for why people can be (or are) scared of dieing. \n\nPerhaps you aren’t ready to die because you’re torn spiritually because you have thousands of religions telling you that their god is the only one and to choose otherwise will cause your soul to be damned to hell. (That’s a big one)\n\nPerhaps you’re doubtful of the existence of a heaven or a hereafter and are convinced that the only place there is after you die is only hell. (Another good one)\n\nPerhaps you feel that the only thing that awaits you is the great emptiness of the void and that for the remainder of all eternity there will be nothing but emptiness. (That can get very scary if you honestly think of it)\n\nPerhaps you aren’t certain that there is enough you can do to work out the issues that tempted you or tormented you while you were on this mortal coil. (After all, there’s no spiritual ATM to tell you what your spiritual debt or balance is)\n\nPerhaps you’re the type of individual who’s alright with the idea of dying but you don’t want to do it alone or away in a strange hospital with nobody familiar, not even your loved ones nearby. \n\nPerhaps you’re worried about dieing a ‘bad’ death, one which is painful and lingering or perhaps a death where you didn’t want anyone to find you doing. (Like dieing while taking a crap right after you hear that you just won the lottery)\n\n Perhaps you didn’t want to die in a state of sadness. (Say for instance you’ve just watched your wife and children die because of something you did, like a car crash, and you realized that you were responsible for it)

Listen many people fear death it's totally normal... if some people aren't scared well good for them!\nWe have no clue when it will happen, how it will happen, will we be ready for it? and what happens after we die??? \n...\nThese are just simple questions that people ask themselves... I am also afraid when I think of death! It's normal. But don't worry about it.. Live your life and when it will happen, it will happen. Just don't live your life with that fear of death, you don't need to. Live your life being the best person you can be.  Having those kinds of thoughts can really bring negativity into your life, try to erase them. \nTake Care
