Do you feel comfortable with dying? If so, what makes you feel this way? [Spirituality & Religion]

katielass · F
A couple years ago I was told I might not make it through the night and I was amazingly not frightened as I always figured I would be. It was weird but I cant explain why I wasn't afraid.

there are 2 options
I lay in the ground and thats it ,,no big deal ,I'm out of pain and my race is over .
But ,if I make it to the finish line ,and I mean not forgetting who I am and who made me
I will spend eternity in paradise .
Not only do I have a more sure word of prophecy that has made the requirements clear to me ,,but they also validate themselves in such a way ,someone had to know the future ,,
add a few miracles that I have seen the results personally ,,
I have whats called an assurance ,Faith with no reason to doubt it
And my father has told me He will see to it i'm not ashamed ,
for standing on His Word and promises that have got me to the point I am now .
I cold care less who believes what ,and who mocks what I believe in .
If by change I happen to be wrong ,,all thats happened is I was a Dad my kids loved and admired ,my Grandkids respect and love ,as do many others around the world ,,many who have see the man I was transform from and the man I am today ,and they will testify ,he is not even close to the same guy ,
And I didn't have to work at it ,,I just lived it and my Father did the rest .
But now if the mockers and the my Father's is not real crowd are wrong .
Well they won't be in paradise thats for sure .
Thats where I stand ,,If I just lay in the dirt or the ocean as ash,,
or I am the least in heaven ,at least I wont be here

Because my soul is nothing more than a passenger in this human form. I tend to believe consciousness transcends death, existing in another form.

I feel comfortable with dying as long as I'm the last one.

not like you have the choice of immortality or anything tbh

accepting reality and cherished what time there is ...is really what life is all about at the end

I am ok with the fact that this body will break down and die. I'm comfortable with it because I know death is part of life, the final journey.

I am content with it. I almost drowned a few years ago and it got to the point where it felt very relaxing.

@Smikezz2 All the people I revived in the Coast Guard said they come to a point they were like tripping (lack of oxygen to the brain )
And a few actually said they were sad I revived them .
In 70 degree water the body can stop producing heat and they become Hyperthermic
and they say they just got sleepy and wanted to sleep and they exhale on the way down and sink like a rock ,
I was lost at sea ,no like jacket and I fought dying with every thing in me .
But I hear once you stop fighting it and just breath ,you see colors and stuff .
If I was going to cause my own death it would be a lead ball temple to temple
but I have revived countless drowning victims ,they all said the same thing
Its was not as bad as they thought it would be ,you finally have to breath
even if its water and not air .
They were all blessed ,they were in water not to deep for for someone to free dive and retrieve them .
I have had 3 heart attacks but I only knew I had 2 .
I got over that "I'm not afraid to die" crap real quick.
Seeing all my kids on the Ambulance crying also was an incentive to live .
For them I face extreme pain every day knowing one day it may not be bearable .
I pray one day my love for them is enough ,I would prefer to die saving someone
but if not at least of natural causes ,,preferably in my sleep ,not fighting for my last breath

@rckt148 The lake had just thawed out 2 weeks prior and we tipped a canoe in the middle of it. The lake is also glacier fed. I understand what you mean by the hypothermic element too. Thank you for insight. I was also thinking of family members at the time. That is what kept me swimming. I didn't think I was gonna make it and I was alright with that until my leg hit the bottom. I collapsed right away as soon as I got out of the water. Took off my hoodie, shirt, shoes just to try and get warm again.

I have had to accept that possibility before many times in my life. So, I have a head start in not letting my mortality bother me.

Dying? No. Dying is terrifying. And exceedingly painful. I have no problem with the non-state of being dead. But dying. Fuck that shit.
Diyanne · F
[c=#002673]Yeahh...I think I will feel comfortable with it. Becozzz....I feel tired having to take meds everyday. If I dont take it, I will get sick...[/c]
Peaches · F
Yes, because I believe we live on.💫But I DO have a fear of pain, I just hope I don't have a painful death.
Les02 · 26-30, F
So long as it's not to soon I'm comfortable with it.. after all it's going to happen anyway
oneperson · 31-35, M
what the fuck am I gonna do, honestly?
Yep. It's inevitable. Why would I fear it?
cycleman · 61-69, M
nothing else is going to happen. life ends! Period!

Let it come when it has to
One, I don’t focus on it, and the idea of loved ones dying bothers me much more.
Two, I can’t change it. I hope it’ll be awhile, but when it’s time, I’m outta here.
So I’m trying to appreciate life while I'm here, if that makes sense. 🙂
