You just never know when that happens. It could be when you are 60 or (hopefully) 110.

I've spent many years while working, albeit mostly happy and fulfilling years, building my early retirement fund (55y/o hopefully) so if I die before having had at least 10 years to attempt to blow the majority of it, I'd be seriously miffed. So yes!, I'm affraid of dying

Mr Bat

If you have done everything you have ever wanted to in life, you must either be aged 120 or have a serious lack of imagination

Rev has said he wanted to go out with a bang

Having been through similar experiences as Sonic, and stilll being around, I find I am very grateful to the surgeons who have saved my life twice now and also that I have got just as strong a will to live as ever before.

I am deliberately living a healthy life style as well since there are a lot of things that I enjoy doing and a lot more left that I still want to do.

Come on, list them, we love show offs !

I would love to go into space, climb Everest, man-haul to the South Pole, I could go on. Don’t tell me you have done all 3.

If you have achieved everything in life at 28, you have set the bar very low

Perhaps the people who say they couldn't care less if they died tomorrow, should read the Bug Eyed Peas thread as I have just done.

Perhaps we should all be a bit more grateful for what we have.

If you are a highly driven successful individual, when you meet your targets, you will always strive for new and exciting experiences or areas to succeed.

If you can’t afford a lift from the Russians, your career can’t have been very successful either.

death, does not bother me, which it turns out, is a rather radical way of thinking according to most people, i realised about 5 years back when my granny died that every body dies, nothing you can do about it, from that point on i was prepared for older members of my family dieing.

the old man died just before xmas, **** time for the family, while i think he died a bit early (50years old, his dad his still going at 84 now??!!??) i had thought many a time "one day i will have to deal with him dieing" so was prepared for it.

the thing that pissed me off the most was the rest of the family all IMHO making each other IMO worse, with the constant crying and pissing about, the amount of times, family members, came up to me and asked if i had cried yet = "you will do yourself harm bottling it up" ffs i felt like shouting out "get a ****en grip, everybody dies, he was always going to die, YOU will die at some point, I will die at some point"

to be completely honest, the family made ME feel like a bit of a weirdo, because it apparently never bothered me, yes it did bother me, but i fully understand that at some point in my life, everybody else will die and so will i.

even my brother, who trys to give the impression he is hard as **** (yet i still have to clean up his bollocks from time to time lol) started crying at the funeral.

people deal with death in different ways, me i would rather die properly then have something like the big C eating away at me for years and years

to be honest, if i was diagnosed with something terminal and it was going to make me a wreck in a hospital bed for a year or so, i would honestly be looking for the easiest way out.

people can say "ohh that's not fair on the family, you are taking away time from them" but to be honest, when you are going to go, your going to feckin go!!!

the old man would not have wanted me to sit around acting like the world had ended, i sat down, had a massive glass of vodka (toasted him) and just got on with life, back into work the next day, the world keeps on spinning

my views are in VERY stark contrast to my G/F, she crumbled when her gran died last year, but in all fairness, she was quite old, maybe the next time somebody leaves her family, she will handle things better?

howellsy42

when i worked long hours driving plant i had alot of time to think and i used to worry my self stupied but as got a bit older i thought **** it its going to happen at some point so there

i have had quite a few proper near death expeciances (meningitus the fatal one doctors told my mum not to get her hopes up walked out there two weeks later with nothing wrong with me,got hit by a transit van going 50mph ish again nothing but a small cut on my chin plus a few more )

i do think when its your time thats it there is nother you can do and it is scary not knowing but hay thats life

ps sorry about my spelling

I'm already on my third chance, as I had to have the jump leads twice about 20 odd years ago, bad reaction to general anaesthetic. But apart from that I'm fairly fatalistic about it. You can't stop it from happening, and hopefully I'll go out in a blaze of glory, or quietly in my sleep. It's not being dead that bothers me, it's the umpteen nasty ways to get there that do.

I would be happy if I died like my father - peacfully in my sleep, not screaming in terror like his passengers were!

I'm not really scared of popping my cloggs, i'm more worried about losing family and friends, i can honestly say i love life, i just regret not having more money and more free time to enjoy it to it's fullest.

Johnny E

I agree with Boosh, more scared of loved ones popping their clogs before I do

ScoTTyB

I'm more worried about loved ones dying and in my death the effects on them.

Turbohot

Congruenty speaking, thinking about leaving this colourful world and the loved ones makes my heart sink. I am nervous about dying. I tend to put blocks on such thought, and enjoy "now" to full. This is the way I deal with the unforeseen. I am fully aware of the precarious status of life, yet embracing the death will be a very extra-ordinary experience, I think. I have vividly dreamt about the life ebbing out of me etc., and I felt so aloof...... so isolated and sad! Nothing mattered, everything was being left behind, my heart was sinking, the lights were dimming forever.........

I know that it's gonna happen, everyone dies! But like any change, this thought of a change from my living status to dead status does disturb me a bit.

I must say that I worry more about my loved ones than myself. To me, I hardly matter in compare.

Leslie

I have to say that if Mrs Leslie went before me, I'd be in a pretty parlous state!

just remember,while we're all sat here worrying about death,time is passing by and death is getting closer.so GET UP AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIVES,because like i was once told...'your a long time dead'!

That comment interests me, I as it happens am very afraid of getting older and utimately death.

I think about it a fair amount of time and I wonder why I do, perhaps you can shed some light as to what possible psychological issue it could be?

Totally with you Nat and agree with all your replies on this thread.

Paul3446

You must both be single I assume to have that attitude!

j4ckos mate

i used to cry about dying when i was a kid , i expect its normal,


now doing all i can to bring thre date forward

r32

I'm not afraid of dying, but like few others on here who have had things like the big C I treasure life and dont want to go just yet. I think when you've had a couple of deathly run ins, you tend to have a different outlook on life.
