Death/Dying

Scared of dying, not really as when you gotta go you gotta go.

But what does have me somewhat on edge is the lead up, will it be a long prolonged nightmare such as Alzheimer's / Cancer. That would be hell.. Give me a quick exit anytime.
 
Can't be that bad, no-one over complains.

Seriously though, I've got 2 kids so my job here is done. /life
Not (yet) scared of the act of dying, just an uneasy feeling of the things I'll miss out on in my children's lives.
 
Death is not the problem, living on without those you love is much harder than death.

The pain that my wife or family might experience, the fact I wouldn't be there to help them. That terrifies me...
 
I personally believe, and not from a religious pov at all, but i truly believe there is something after....somewhere for the spirit to go. So in that regard i don't fear death.
I just can't accept the fact that when it's lights out, that's it.
I don't fear death for myself, but i worry for the people i leave behind i guess, their sadness etc.
Back in the day, i never thought i'd live past 23 (weird).
Nowadays i do kind of fear getting older and less able to do what i did in my younger years.
 
I don't fear it, it is inevitable. I believe in reincarnation, I'm not religious however. Very odd spiritual situation to be in.

I just don't want to miss out on seeing my kids grow up. I don't want to live long enough to become a burden on them. I'm 99% sure I will have regrets, only a few will bother me.

I don't find it odd at all, you don't have to be religious to be spiritual. I think many people get the two mixed up as well.
