come to terms with death

You know, I’m clearly still not happy with death, but who is? Yeah it still scares me a little bit, but I think that’s normal. We’re human, no one wants to die. However, I have come to realize that there’s something better out there and that there’s no way to avoid death so I should stop fretting about it. EVERYBODY dies, it’s the one thing we all have in common. Besides, who’s to say it won’t be better than this life? That’s the whole idea right? And if there’s nothing after this life then it won’t matter anyways will it? :)

Will I ever be able to overcome it?

My mom was a hospice nurse for a long time, so having conversations with her & her friends about hospice, death & dying took care of this goal for me.

It’s interesting how everyone – every religion has different ideas about death & dying, God, heaven/hell, etc.. but hospice patients always talk about the same things – the same life issues: love, forgiveness, regret, etc.. they all generally go through the same processes (physically, emotionally, spiritually). They even say some of the same things near the end, like having to take a trip, or needing to get ready for their trip.

& Angels. Hospice nurses hear about angels so often, it isn’t strange at all. My favorite hospice stories involve angels.

My thoughts on death: the body is just the container for the soul (for this life) & the soul can never die.

why I’m not freaked out about death: faith, I guess. I know that Love/God is always there. Love is everything. and I know that there is definitely much, much more than this life.

Every day I live my life,like everyone else going about my own things. It seems that things are speeding up, as I’m growing older more things need to be done with my life! Okay here goes my list!

1. Making an account on this site.
2. Finding a sence of importance.
3. Forming a better relationship with my family.
4. Embarncing each day for what it’s worth good or bad!!
5. Wecoming new people into my life and booting out the bad ones without a second thought.
6. Hold my head high no matter what people think of me as a human!
7. Listing to the particle advice of my parents!
8. Belive in myself always thinking I am a great person.
9. Admit my short comings.
10. Always be real with around people.
11. Look at the world for what it is not for what you want it to be!
12. Not worring about thing(for example meaning less things like being goth:x I’ll just be myself!)
13. Listen to my sister sing without putting her down about her voice!
14. Do what my parents tell me to not forgetting small tasks like forgetting the dish’s.
15. Wake up everyday with a simple little smile on!
16. Do small little things to make myself happy!
17.

They say life is short, and death comes with no warning, Also I’ve heard,and come to believe it comes in three’s. Last year both of my husbands grandmothers died, shortly after his cousin, who is my age (20) also passed away. When she died, I feared my own death, b/c it hit me how fleeting life is, and we should not take for granted the ones that we love, and every day that we wake up. After last years three, I knew that this year was going to be a good one, nothing bad COULD happen b/c of everything last year. My Granpa passed away in February. And my great granpa, a short two weeks after my granpa. Should I fear the inevitable? I try not to and just go about my day’s as care free as possible. But the thought is always lingering in the back of my mind!

My fiancee past away 10 years ago. This is when I was 22. Imagine my shock. We just turned legal and he was gone. It took 5 years and Plenty of therapy, but I got through it. I don’t waste a minute of life.

I know that one day I will die.

I also know that I have a mission, a purpose here on earth.

I’m not going to die until God is ready for me to die. He knows the time and the place. Why would I want to go on living after I have completed whatever I am here to complete?

When it’s time for me to die, it will not be like leaving life behind, but rather like coming home, to the life I’ve never known but always loved and wanted.

Honestly, I’m kinda excited about it. And not at all in the morbid death-loving kind of way. Instead, in the “I can’t wait to finally be home!” sort of way.

:D

Death and taxes are the only two things that life guarantees. The sooner you come to terms with both the better off you’ll be.

If I start thinking about it too deeply I get consumed with a fear unlike any other that makes it difficult to breath, so then I just distract myself really quickly with something trivial.

I’m 27 and feel that life is too sweet to lose. Fear of my eventual death makes me shake and shiver in my bed. I only feel safe when I’m reading or writing.
