When I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
and I think about death
and neither one particularly appeals to me.

boomboom_uk: I remember when I was about 9 the girl upstairs was looking after me for the day and took me into an old lady`s house who had passed away it was her wake and the open coffin was in the room,she took me in and lifted me up and told me to kiss the corpse goodbye when I leaned over(terrified) ..she dropped me right on her I have never ever forgot the sheer panic I felt...had nightmares for years


wow bleedin' nora, that must have been a horific experience.... comfort bouquet

I was with my mum ( 83 )when she died last year, it didn't look so bad. Depends how you go I supose, it was old age, she was more than ready having being semi paralized from a major stoke 20 years earlier. She didn't pass in her sleep, she was awake but dazed sort of, I reckon her heart just stopped, there was a small gulp and a wince and that was it. Her eyes were still open, I closed them, just like you see on the movies.

As for what is next ? At present my logic and evidence says there is nothing. Secretly I hope I am wrong of course..... angel

I'm not ready and I don't know if I ever will be. It's a sneaky little thing. I work in the ER. The swiftness of how death comes sneaking in is something I'll never get accustomed to seeing.

Bart's boss asked him to go into the market to get some stuff but while there he saw death staring at him and making gesters with his hand. frightened, the young man ran all the way home and told his boss what had happened. the boss told him to take his fastest horse and run as fast as he could to warsop, (a city some 30 miles away). the boss then took another horse and rode to the market, saw death and asked why he was threatening his servant. death said "I was not threatening him, I was just expressing shock to see him here, because i know i have an appoinment with him today in Warsop"

My greatest fear today is that of my children's life. for if they should come to harm: If i should fail in my effort to protect and provide for them and they should come to harm. I am not sure how i would deal with it. thoughts have crossed my mind many times that leaves me nervous.

Do you mean the death of your kids or if you died and left them behind to survive on their own ?

Sorry for your loss...you brought tears to my eyes.
Oh, now I am really crying..............................deep breath..I really hope there is something for everyone after this earthly time. When I die...I don't want to come back..I would rather stay with "God"..hug

Well, we all die. At Judgment Day, we all stand in front of the throne of God and are judged...at that point, we will either go to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and turned away from our sins.

Death is inevitable and there is no way around it. Does it scare me, no and I'm not going to worry about it. Why worry about something you have no control over?

If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I hope the next life out does this onelaugh
