We all know it's inevitable, we can't escape or run from it.

Do you fear death or is it more you fear in which manner it may occur?

I don’t want a long, drawn out and painful death. I’ve seen that in relatives and it breaks your heart. We put animals down to ease their misery, but let some humans endure such intolerable prolonged demises.

Also, as Estella said above, I really fear some others dying more than my own demise. And similarly I hope they go peacefully.

I must say for the longest time death truly frightened me. Losing my Father suddenly at the age of 13 was a watershed moment in my young life, it was a traumatic event.

My father was here one minute, then he was gone the next. I can say now though, I do not fear death.

I don't fear being dead at all. I think it will be no different to being in the state I was in before I was conceived.

I am nervous about the transition from life to death. It could be painful. I may not have done the preparations I need to to leave my loved ones what I have, because I know that will help them. Luke

I think Richard Dawkins said it best....

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

The instant at which a particular spermatozoon penetrated a particular egg was, in your private hindsight, a moment of dizzying singularity. It was then that the odds against your becoming a person dropped from astronomical to single figures.

The lottery starts before we are conceived. Your parents had to meet, and the conception of each was as improbable as your own. And so on back, through your four grandparents and eight great grandparents, back to where it doesn’t bear thinking about.

This is another respect in which we are lucky. The universe is older than a hundred million centuries. Within a comparable time the sun will swell to a red giant and engulf the earth. Every century of hundreds of millions has been in its time, or will be when its time comes, ‘the present century’. Interestingly, some physicists don’t like the idea of a ‘moving present’, regarding it as a subjective phenomenon for which they find no house room in their equations. But it is a subjective argument I am making. How it feels to me, and I guess to you as well, is that the present moves from the past to the future, like a tiny spotlight, inching its way along a gigantic ruler of time. Everything behind the spotlight is in darkness, the darkness of the dead past. Everything ahead of the spotlight is in the darkness of the unknown future. The odds of your century being the one in the spotlight are the same as the odds that a penny, tossed down at random, will land on a particular ant crawling somewhere along the road from New York to San Francisco. In other words, it is overwhelmingly probable that you are dead.

In spite of these odds, you will notice that you are, as a matter of fact, alive. People whom the spotlight has already passed over, and people whom the spotlight has not reached, are in no position to read a book… What I see as I write is that I am lucky to be alive and so are you.”

I may have to look more into this. I always held the view that the body in its state of aneasthetisia on the table and the body being in an induced vegatatative state led to this happening, almost hallucinogenic if you like xxx

I (Mr) have no fear of death.

It's more how I die that I wish I could control.

If we all had a set time then got switched off then that would be far better in my book.

Dread being starved to death in a nursing home until my organs finally give up.

Having lost my dad, all 4 grandparents, an elder sibling, an aunt and uncle, both godparents and 2 cousins all before I turned 22 and quite a few others since, I have seen enough death to prevent me from ignoring my own demise.

I was a carer for some of those from the age of 12 and that death by slow motion is not something I would wish on anyone or to experience myself.

The shock of having someone taken suddenly without warning is difficult to cope with but in the long run preferable.

I had a bit of a NDE a few years back whilst scuba diving. I almost resigned myself to it but thankfully my buddy was on hand to help. I still get a few moments of rising panic every time I descend but happy that I could push through it.

I think drowning would be one of the worst ways to go as the brain is active for sometime after everything else shuts down.

I’m really sorry, I feel for you and others in the same situation. Death is always hard for those left behind.

I saw many of my opos killed, being there and seeing it happen stays with you , and in many cases ( myself included) it messes you up .

And then losing most of my family when I got home tipped me over the edge for a while.

It’s a dark path , but when you have love ones and friends to help . There is light at the end ( sorry if that sounds too corny)

Aye, I reckon I would if I was about to start a painful end of life scenario. Some don’t get the chance, of course, and are struck down and incapable suddenly and have to live the rest of their lives like that. If I have all my mental faculties and that was an option open to me, I think I would. And plan some proper goodbyes.

It’s hard to think of being non existent.

Eternity will pass in a flash and then…..nothing.

Not an empty nothing but a complete nothing where the Universe fades into a sea of cold particles…

I have always mourned my eldest sister who died aged 8 when I was nearly two.

The thing is because my parents were busy with her hospital appointments before I was born I was surely conceived at a different time compared to if they at been home without worry.

Still with me? Another birth and very likely another child meaning I wouldn’t ever have been born. Or would I, perhaps as a girl older, younger?

Strange thing life.

I'm scared of how I die. I work with people who are end of life.

I've just come home from a shift where a lady with dementia has forgotten how to swallow. She can no long eat or drink. It is unsafe for us to try and assist her with food or fluids. She will slowly ease away now.

Another man, was living a perfectly normal lifestyle, had a stroke and now can not move or speak. I'm not afraid of dying. I just wish it to be quick and free from being a burden on those I love.
