Dying is for me like sleeping and I like sleeping! You’ll be fine.

Saying there is nothing there after our Lives is a very closed view point, you need to open your mind a little bit and use your imagination, from what i know (which is still limited) as long as we believe and do good then we should go to a better place and this makes me feel better about it.

I feel a lot like you…its a scary thought. I think its what drove me toward madness in some ways.
On one hand I feel I need to appreciate and value life as it is now and in its total completeness, always hope for more though…
Its like clinging to water…water…I know that in billions of years there wont be anymore water–I know that even after I am gone there will be other people alive on earth and that makes me happy and keeps me going…so Im working on doing the best I can.

You’ve got a full life ahead of you.

It’s like waking up from a dream…nothing to be frightened about.
It’s a short ride, when all is said and done.
In the absurdity of it all you may be able to salvage some meaning.
Enjoy this life, you deserve good things

At this point in my life I don’t want to die but I’m not worried about actually dying, I came to terms with that a long time ago.
What I always wanted to avoid is a long drawn out protracted painful death. We now have MAID in Canada so that is no longer a concern for me.

I’m scared and worried about getting dementia too and Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Nature doesn’t discriminate
Whatever is after, I don’t think is within our gift to comprehend the form it will take.
If we’re merely absent and come back like some would have you think, I’d hope to do better next time!
Spent my whole life worrying about it
It’s occurred to me that this time when we die we will truly meet ourselves and it might be horrible but it might even be beautiful in some way
I’m sure Mother Nature has given it some thought as well as it’s our last goodbye I think it will be eased somehow like great pain in a moment of adrenaline
In any case the process itself doesn’t last long and it will end soon enough
I might refuse medical treatment at some point though by way of not drawing it out too much
My father In law 6 weeks before he died told me of his great wish to walk under a bus
Several wards are also always full of people who want to be helped to die
I would love to choose assisted suicide in that situation
It’s occurred to me there isn’t a choice as well - whether or not to die
And it’s everyone and everything
The climate crisis and the fact I am / was a western capitalist who was a frequent flier and fashion victim and meat eater leaves me without a leg to stand on
I no longer feel I have the right to life
I feel like I deserve a hoard of marauding cannibals
We get flagged bcz we’re Canadians, assisted suicide is now legal in Canada but not yet in the US. Its weird since in the US they have the death penalty which we don’t have in Canada.

You worry too much for nothing. You’re creating your own anxiety. I have my own beliefs about afterdeath, we’re all going to heaven like @anon53623539 said.

Everything about death is about religion so I don’t see the point of this thread.
Doesnt have to be religion. We are eased into the world as children, slowly becoming conscious and we develop some idea of reality whether with sz or not. I think any idea of reality should include death and the nothingness we have to accept before we were born. My conclusion is that once we die we are no longer bound to anything and the next possibility for subjectivity could be anything or nothing at all forever. In a sense trapped in endlessness potentially or nothingness ultimately which isnt trapped but just nonexistence. Im somewhat optimistic about it and think that our subjectivity will reoccur over the eons in different dimensions etc. That is optimistic even though many of those potential ‘lives’ will not be good.

i didnt mention him directly, it is a fact that it happened though i just wanted to point that out.
And thats why you got flagged probably bcz you talk about it like if it was a proven fact which it isnt.
