What happens when you die? Are you afraid of death??

There is plenty of repeatable evidence to show that all thought stops, and your body decomposes, upon death. There is absolutely no evidence to support something further happening, though many people have come to believe this unsupported claim, often being conditioned from a very young age.\n\nMost everyone fears death to some extent, including me. Very few people can say they truly don't care whether they are alive or dead. We can only hope that those who can say this truthfully are not in a position take others with them, whether they wield political clout, are terrorists, or are simple sociopaths.

Listen many people fear death it's totally normal... if some people aren't scared well good for them!\nWe have no clue when it will happen, how it will happen, will we be ready for it? and what happens after we die??? \n...\nThese are just simple questions that people ask themselves... I am also afraid when I think of death! It's normal. But don't worry about it.. Live your life and when it will happen, it will happen. Just don't live your life with that fear of death, you don't need to. Live your life being the best person you can be.  Having those kinds of thoughts can really bring negativity into your life, try to erase them. \nTake Care

because you haven't accepted yet the death is part of the cycle of life.\n\nthere's nothing much to fear about death, in fact it relieves us of the wordly chaos and pain (dont get me wrong, i am not suicidal). death is a God given gift.\n\nProbably the thing that you are scared of is the manner of your death. you fear that it will be a painful one.  death also gives us the anxiety of what will become of our loved ones long after we're gone.

Yes.\n\nI was dead and I knew it.  I was very scared.  I was on a boat. Noone else was with me. \n\nA few things were explained to me...  I cant get into it because it would take too long.\n\nI'll just say that when I came too again.  I returned to my life with a very different view of  reality and what happens when we die.\n\nLife really is what we want it to be.

As a Christian, physical death is nothing that i fear.  I would be more afraid to lose all hope in something.  The only way I feel that I could ever lose all hope is if God abandoned me.  That is veritably the description of hell--eternal torture and the absence of God.  \n  On a more secular note, death is at least a form of ignorance.  Hopelessness may have no cure, and the only relief may actually be death.

I'm not going to give you the comforting fiction here. I'll just tell you the truth. Nothing happens to people after death. The last thing that happens to a person is the experience of the body failing and then ceasing to function. All the body systems, including brain processing, stop functioning. The individual loses consciousness for the last time. That final experience is the end. The person's lifeless body is then removed, etc. But THE PERSON no longer exists.

Thank goodness, yes we will!  Then, we live again for eternity!  So, don't fear death, as Jesus conquered death.  Go to church, learn about Jesus, and find salvation.

Well maybe you are worrying because you are wrong about your beliefs. Heaven is real, so is hell. When you accept Jesus, he takes all our worries, and fear.\n\nYour body will last as long as how you care for it. Eat right, exercise. They say that people born after 1979 will likely live to 100yrs old. Thats if you don't get cancer, or get hit by a bus.\n\nBut I would worry about what happens after you die. So many people testify that they've been shown hell. Their accounts are very similar.

I've had a near death experience at a young age or 2 yrs. Ever since I've seen my dead brother talking to me. When my mother died I saw her playing with my very quiet children. My son has ADHD so that was unnerving to me. When I called out my mothers name she turned faced me and smiled. I paniced and ran down stairs and tried to call home. No answer and I felt sick inside. A couple hours later my sister called and told me of my mothers passing. But, before she could tell me what was wrong I responded that mom's dead huh. It freaked her out and me too.\n   It's a cool and humbling experience at the same time.

DUDE.. If I wanted to know when I was going to die, I would go ahead and just kill myself and get it over with.  Knowing when you will die takes all the mystery and wonder out of life.  Not knowing is the greatest gift of all

No, death does not frighten me. However, I'm pretty sure I'll be very picky about how I want to die. We die because if we didn't, the human population would probably die off due to too many people living off of the resources. Death is simply a departure from the earth. Love, is not death.

what happens when a person dies?\n\nWhat exchanges old for new, offers no special deals or closeouts, and keeps us coming back for more?\n\n You were. You will be! \nKnow this while you are. \nReincarnation is the natural \nprocess of recycling human energy through \nbirth, growth, decay and death. \nEach rebirth is a link in one's eternal chain \nof latent impressions, thoughts, desires and actions. \nThe soul in its new body is given the opportunity \nto learn from the past, to live the present and to prepare for the future. Reincarnation: Why Believe?Once I have begun to base my sense of ‘who I am’ on perceiving myself as a soul rather than on perceiving only my temporary costume, the body, I deeply realize that, as a being of spiritual energy giving life to the body, I am immortal. I begin to understand that I change bodily costumes just as a snake sheds its skin, but I – the eternal soul – can never die.\n\nDeath and Rebirth\nAt the moment of physical death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. It takes with it the impressions accumulated in that life and enters into the body of an unborn baby, while that new body is still being formed in its mother’s womb. This normally happens between the fourth and fifth month of pregnancy. A human soul only enters a human body. The type of body the soul enters and the conditions of birth are determined by the past actions of the soul in its previous life or lives, and the cumulative account of give and take that it has built up with other souls. Without proper understanding of this process, the leaving of one body and the taking of another is often an experience of great fear and anguish; but the details of the old life are soon obliterated by new experiences so that the soul is not overwhelmed and confused by past memories.\n\nReincarnation: What You Take With You\nBy the time the baby’s body and brain are developed, the soul has all but forgotten the past and become accustomed to its new conditions and to the parents of its new body. However, although the soul cannot usually remember details of its past life or lives, it carries with it—in the form of attitudes, tendencies and personality—the cumulative effect of all that it has experienced and learned. All that is genetically brought to the new life is the physical make-up of the body, the racial type, the colour of eyes, shape of nose and so on. And although the environment in which a child is raised – as well as the personalities of those around the child – definitely exert an influence on the child’s development, its tendencies and reactions to people and events are not biologically generated but are inherent in the soul from previous existences. Those predominant impressions recorded in the past life soon begin to manifest themselves and are expressed in the new surroundings.\n\nRelationship in Other Lifetimes\nHuman life is based on inter–relationships between souls, which in turn are based on the different impressions present in each. These impressions determine the course of life, the nature of the soul’s activities and its physical placement in a particular environment. Thus there is typically a link or an ‘account’ between two souls who have formed a relationship in one lifetime; that link will bring them together again in other lifetimes. This explains why many people have the sense of having met or known a person before, even though they are apparently meeting for the first time. Or they experience meeting someone with the feeling of either attraction or repulsion even though they don’t know them well enough in the current life to have developed those feelings. What is taking place is that the soul is recognizing the other soul – even though they have different bodies – from the last time they met.\n\nReincarnation: Process of Rebirth\nReincarnation is a process of rebirth. With each death comes a new birth an

You ARE going to die,... and it IS a fact.  Given that, what is there to come to terms WITH?\n\nAlmost anybody with any years behind them has pondered this question, and it's been my experience that most will give an answer that I can only describe as audacious (especially from the numerous 'quasi-brave' among the adolescent). \n\nMaybe a better question, then, would be:\nHave you come to terms with the subject of HOW you might die?...  What will it be, do you think:\n\nCancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, accidents, systemic diseases, suicide, homicide...?\n\nHow about a peaceful death?...\nI've worked in pathology labs for 20 years and, of all of the autopsies I assisted in, I've not seen one truly, without-a-doubt, bona fide 'peaceful' death.  Even the 'quiet' ones weren't all that peaceful...\n\nAlmost everyone will say that they "Don't fear The Reaper"...\n...and, who knows, --- maybe they don't.  \n\nBut deep down inside the hollow of one's soul, whether admitted or not, is the fear of His 'Scythe'... and whether or not it will be sharp or dull when He swings it at them...

I think that everybody has a fear of the unknown and obviously death is a huge unknown! The thought of death frightens me to an extent but I also have hope of an after life with God so in a way it is kind of like having something to look forward too! Hey plus we all get to reunite with old loved ones dogs, Grandpas you name it!

most people don't dream about dying because they have never been in a situation where they were close to dying so their brain can't comprehend it as real.  So as soon as you become close to dying, the rational part of your brain thinks "this ain't right" so you either start dreaming about something else or wake up.\n\nPeople who have had near-death experiences may dream about dying. Or the very imaginative.
