i am because i don't know what exactly happens when you die. i am the kind of person who mourns for other people. i'm still mourning the loss of my grandma even though it's been five years.

It's weird.... Like mentioned above the idea of not existing one day is crazy... But also, it would be crazy if there was no death. The idea of existing forever... I mean just really think about how long forever is. I don't like the idea of death, but existing forever is an idea that doesn't appeal to me either, especially on this flawed earth. I just wish there was an in-between. I am very scared of dying, but at the same time I know that it's inevitable. I just hope I live a long happy life. Luckily for me, the only relative I've had pass on is my great grandmother, and I didn't know her too well, luckily I still have both sets of grandparents, parents, all siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and even pets. (Besides a dog my family owned when I was 2, and a few goldfish :P) When my great grandma passed, I was in elementary school, and despite not knowing her very well, I cried pretty heavily. I imagine if a family member or close friend passed I would be deeply upset.

I'm afraid of dying. I'm not afraid of death. I think death is fascinating and a brand new adventure. With my beliefs the way they are, I can't help but think that.

I have a hard time holding my breath as it is, I can't imagine breathing my last breath. I imagine dying is pretty painful if you don't go peacefully in your sleep, which is the way that I want to go when I do.

As a nostalgic person who always seems to long for the way things were before, yes, I do mourn for a longer period of time than most others do after someone dies.

I normally don't think about death - I make an effort not to think about it, I always think about living and enjoying the day.

When my time does come, I hope its something quick and painless, I'm afraid of dying a slow painful death.

I don't want to die too soon, there is so much coming up and I want to see it (football events - want to see the world cup in Qatar 2022, and want to live to see the next 10th or 15th generation of Pokemon, as examples).

When others perish in natural disasters, or by accident, I always mourn them. I light up a candle and do a moment of silence, knowing that someday it may happen to me.

No..i think death is a rest from the world..no matter how beautiful this world is no one will live forever..no one knows where our souls go maybe it goes to a better place ..maybe it's moving from a level of life to another level..i believe that soul is immortal ..i do fear death,who don't??..we all fear the unknown but i trust God and i know wherever he takes my soul to it will be fairly what i deserve.

i experienced death of a dear "relative or friend" many times it's hard but we have to stay strong sometimes not only for us but also for another someone you know if you fall apart they will fall apart too.

I don't like to think about death because I know it can happen anytime and I don't want to have that thought in my head. As for mourning, I have been lucky enough to not really have to experience a death in the family, with all of the ones that happened in my lifetime happen when I was young, however I do know that if one happens I will mourn deeply. Yes I am terrified of death itself :X

Yay, another reflective topic about life and death. No, I am not afraid of death. It's just nothingness after that. Well, I don't have any close relative or close friend who died, so I don't know how will I mourn.

I've never been too bothered by the idea of death - I've always viewed it as a fascinating prospect. Death (being the absence of life, and all that) is simply interesting because it's a mystery, a mystery that I'll end up experiencing some day.

I don't think I've gone through a period of mourning before. The only thing that comes close was when my sister died, but certain factors came into play which helped out.

As a child, my mother taught me not to fear death. Her logic was that I should accept death a fact, and structure my thinking around that, instead of living in fear of dying. In a way, one could say that I'm unaware of what I should fear, but w/e.

I look forward to dying, and experiencing death. People have all these opinions about it, but no one really knows what happens to the self after death, which is so exciting. It's just so interesting that we have a great mystery like that in our world, that everyone will eventually uncover.

I don't mourn the death of others, because I feel like they are better off than the living, haha. I'm not in any rush to die, but I won't run from it, either. This world wears on you....it is always a fight to overcome hardships and issues. I'm just glad that you don't have to fight those battles forever. Well...maybe you do?

I've been in mourning for about 6 or 7 years now and it hasn't gotten any easier. Got triggered pretty badly last night when my friend was streaming the Ace Attorney movie because this dude just happened to mention dead loved ones as Von Karma got shot and I broke down. It's just something that I've never come to terms with and I probably never will.

But my own death isn't as troubling. I'm more afraid of not having my things in order before I die than actually dying. It's terrifying to think about being 20 years old, having a daughter, and considering life insurance just in case.

I do mourn the death of others. Not for too long, as I think moving on is very important. Obviously moving on does not mean live and forget, but I'm sure I don't have to explain that to others.

As for my own death I am very scared. Sometimes when I'm alone and the thought of death occurs, my bones get chills. It's an interesting feeling, just as I'm sure death is. However, the thing that brings me back to reality is the prospect of dying with everything in order. If everything goes right, I'll have lived a meaningful life, and I think I'll be ready to die.

I don't necessarily like talking or hearing about any kind of death unless it relates to movie deaths. If that's the case, I usually critique how well the death was made, the quality of the CGI such as the blood or organs if they're involved, and of course realism. I'm afraid that in some point in time that's going to transfer into my reactions of real life deaths.

"Harold was such a great person."
"Yeah. His death was so boring though. No creativity."
"HE FELL OFF A BUILDING!"
"He couldn't have burst into pieces when he hit the ground? All he did was break his stupid neck."

Don't speak ill of the dead, kids.

I don't know how I'd feel if somebody died. Maybe I'd wish to go back in time and see them again, or maybe I wouldn't even care. I've always been afraid that I'd give the wrong reaction to it.

I'm afraid to die right now. If I died this year or the next year, I'd die pretty damn pathetic. My parents wouldn't have a single good thing to say about me, and it would be embarrassing to them (even though they would probably miss me.) I'm afraid to die until I change, because right now, I don't have a single good thing to my name.

Death is the reason I have just started to live.
I'll probably remember this place forever

I am bothered around the idea of death because of how creepy it sounds, and because I wish that no one would ever die, at all. It saddens me very deeply when someone close to me (whether it'd be a friend, family, or even an acquaintance) dies, and I always have a fear of dying from all types of causes, from natural causes to even murder.

Death will come to all of us at some point or another. It's a natural thing, and honestly doesn't bother me too much. I mean, of course you should mourn, but in my opinion if you spend to long mourning then you just insult whoever passed away.
If they loved you, then they would want you to focus on life.

Psh, life scares the **** outta me! I love it. :}

When I was a child I was always afraid of death whenever I thought about it. The idea of suddenly dying and stop existing bothered me so much. There was a point in time where I just stopped thinking about it.

By the time I thought heavily on it again, though, I had already found Christianity. A week before my 17th birthday. And it was some time after that when someone very dear to me died from cancer. I managed to come to terms with her death thanks to the idea of the afterlife, but not a day goes by that I don't think about her. The hope of someday seeing her again has really kept me going.

Everyone has their beliefs, of course. But thanks to mine, the thought of dying or being murdered still bothers me, but I won't run away from it either.

I'm not afraid of death. Of course I dislike the idea of the processes of dying such as getting murdered or drowning (I do hope my passing will be as painless as going during my sleep), but when my time comes to leave, it's time I guess. It's a phenomenon that happens to everyone, one can't escape from it. Until that day comes, naturally or not, I'll just live my life to the fullest without regret.

About someone I love dearly passing away, I indeed would be saddened deeply, but I also have that comfort in knowing that he or she would always be with me in my heart no matter what and that he or she is safely home.
