be less afraid of death

So many thoughts have come to my mind about death. I am truly afraid. I have dicussed this topic with my friend. I believe that if we just trust in God and find our purpose on this earth that perhaps we will no longer fear this death, but instead be excited. After all, we will only be sleeping and waiting for Jesus to return.

The concept that I could possibly die so young really hits me. Two people, both 18, have passed from the highschool I attended. Neither of these people had any serious health issues or were in any kind of an accident.

It really hurts to think of “what if that was my sister?” I am just afraid of loosing some one I love. I dont want to loose my father, my mother, my grandma, my brother.. etc.. I dont want any of them to be in pain, and i dont want to see any one suffer the pain of loosing them.

Has anyone found a sollution to their problem?

Thank you

I go to the doctor on a yearly basis and I always have a clean bill of health. There is nothing ever really wrong with me, yet I am terrified beyond comprehension, of death. Right now I am at an ultimate rock bottom and I feel like there is nothing more I can do to help….I figured by going here maybe it would help.

I’d appreciate any input.

I am 22 years old, but I am so frightened at the concept that however fit, however talented I am, I will inevitably die. All that I am familiar with, my beloved ones, my friends, my life, my time, my house will inextricable depart from me and never come back. I shiver in great pain and fear every time when I think of this. I know it’s impossible to avoid the arrival of death, but at least I should stop being afraid of it. It is a fate bound to everyone, no exception.

TV, Computer, Ignorant to people around me, becoming to adverage american weight(fat), got 2 Fs: English and IT and finally watching doctor who

a fool like me with full of care, I had no time to stand and stare, my life is as a lost sheep, amongst the others on a heap, running around, no sight to be found, as the dead underneaf me make not sound, grades of F, thinking of death, listening to the sound of Fs, What life contains me? I cannot see, as Jesus has let me out, My shout, a simple vibration of what Jesus didn’t hear, I’m still waiting here, when will he come back to guide me, death do not see, why hasn’t he come back? did he take the wrong track? but no, o, A fool like him with “full of care”, he hasn’t come back to stand and stare…

Why do I have to make the move to lead my life into misey, judgement and agony? My life is sad and it will probably be like that forever…god if you are reading this I hope you feel happy about what you are doing with my life, the book of Job hasn’t helped me why should I listen to words so bold which are not yours? Come forth and guide me or I will be stuck in this cobweb of doom which many fear what it is: “Limbo” Your bible hasn’t helped me because I know they are not of yours but of parables if god comes in a form which might help me overcome this I would be highly grateful otherwise my rest of my life will be as I fear it: GRIM.
If you can help me without including the words: “See a GP” or “See a doctor” or “Change your lifestyle” I’d like to hear it at suewarren@talktalk.net otherwise my life is dull…

Another friend passed away last week, after a short and energetic struggle with a very aggresive cancer. She died with incredible grace, in her home surrounded by her family. She told them that she had acomplished all she had ever wanted to and had no regrets.
I am reminded that all things are transient and that it is what we make of it.
The less tightly I try to hold onto the things that I value most, the better off I may truly be.

I had a beautiful experience about 15 years ago that eliminated my fear of death and also my desire for it. I don’t talk about it much but if my story would interest you I’ll tell you what happened.

Going to a memorial service in about 30 mins. for a friend of mine who passed away earlier this week.
More on this later.
