Death scares us all.  It is also a fact of life.  If we did not have an instinctual fear of death, we would not survive as a species.  The way you describe your fears sounds like it is more about being left alone, and you may want to talk with a counselor about that issue.  Loss is a big source of pain for all of us.  Perhaps you have lost a beloved relative or friend, and you hate that feeling.  Or maybe you are very attached to an older relative, and you cannot imagine life without him or her.  Talk to a mental health professional about your specific fears and associations with death.  If you are religious, you can also talk to our clergy. This is a VERY COMMON fear.  But you deserve relief, and counseling can help.

The only reason to kill is if you are in present fear of your life or the life of others. what is going to happen or what has happen does not count.

Because people are afraid of the unknown, and the ultimate unknown is death.\n\nThere is life after death but not they way most people see it. When I am dead worms will eat me, birds will eat the worms, and I will fly high into the sky.  We were once something else , and we will be something else again.  Do not fear.\n\nBut who I am today, my personality, my experiences, etc. will die with me.  That's what makes me special, because there will only be one me, there will only be one today, so lets make the most of it.\n\nBut if I think about it more, even who I am continues after I am gone.  The examples I set for others continue, my stories live on in the minds and voices of those I love and have shared with.  There is no death only change.  It is just hard for most people to picture and understand.\n\nHeaven and Hell are on earth, we live these and a tens of thousands of other realities every day.

By choice. Didn't like harming a moving living creature which has some semblance of self preservation. i know plants to have that, but I've to eat to live, so I chose the lesser of two evils.\n\nNo religion or faith propagates or advocates this form of suicide.

I do not fear death at all. It doesn't scare me because it has got to be better than this greed driven world we live in now. \n\nI fear that I may die in a painful way, that's all that bothers me about death. Let's face it, if we all had our choice, we would likely all chose to die peacefully in our sleep, but that is not realistic.

You can overcome you fear of death by looking to the Lord. \nWhen you learn and know the truth of death and why we die and then learn how we can have everlasting life even on this Earth when Satan is finally destroyed you will find that the fear of death has no power on you any more.\nI suggest you contact Jehovah Witnesses they have the truth of a paradise Earth from Bible scriptures. Death and sickness will be destroyed and obedient people will live forever on earth. If you really want answers and hope for yourself then I suggest you get a free bible study with them like I have been doing our Creator is wanting to give you life forever. Give it a go, you may find it will change your life for the happier. People who don't have the answers anyway may say to you don't do it but if you want real answers. I am a bible student myself.

No why live in fear of death when you can live in celebration of life. It is a choice and I know what I prefer.

Neither really, but I'd rather not die anytime soon. This question reminds me of Seinfeld during one of his stand up routines, the bit goes something like. "They took a poll and the #1 fear of most Americans is public speaking, #2, death. Which means, if your attending a funeral you would rather be in the casket, then giving the eulogy."

Actually, in most cases I find it's just the opposite. A lot of my friends can't watch the scene in Braveheart where horses get killed. They don't have a problem with the human violence, but they simply cannot stand seeing the horses getting killed. One of my teachers actually brought this up in a class one time: why is the suffering of animals so much worse than the suffering of humans?\n\nBut, with regards to people who actually DO fit your profile: there was a belief that since animals had no souls (which, at the time, was an undisputed fact), they couldn't actually feel pain. And even if they whine and scream and cry, they're only reacting in a way that they think they should react instead of actually feeling pain. Of course, most people these days say that's b*llshit, but, well...you gotta love archaic medical science.

This question is not dumb at all. Actually, it is quite interesting. Maybe in your future, someone will show you hell or it's a fear that must be overcome. If your afraid of death, that could be the reason. I wish I could help, but I lack skills needed to solve this mystery.

NO\n\nGod-fearing men see in animals part of God’s generous provision for human welfare. Animals have served man as burden bearers, as sources of food and clothing, as sanitation agents, and as helpers in the vital activities of plowing and harvesting. Their variety of form and color has delighted his eye; their habits and instincts have been and still are an extensive field for inquiry into the marvels of God’s creative work. Though animals die in the same manner as man, they do not share his hope of a resurrection.—2Pe 2:12; \n\nAnimals were created with a limited life span, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. (Genesis 3:22, 23; Psalm 37:29) Jesus Christ said that to enjoy “everlasting life,” we must exercise faith and take in knowledge of God—things that animals are incapable of doing. (John 3:36; 17:3)\n\nGod created animals for the sake of humans. Animals can help them do their work and can serve as their companions or pets. They also serve to magnify God’s love and wisdom.\n\nThe Creator gave life to both humans and animals. But for how long were they to continue to live? Scientists report that humans seem to have the potential of endless life, so that investigators are perplexed as to why man dies. The Bible gives the reason. It says that the Creator gave the first humans the opportunity of living forever. Death came only because they rebelled. (Gen. 2:17; 3:17-19; Rom. 5:12) What, though, of animals? They are not capable of conscious rebellion against God; yet they live only for a length of time and then die. Hence, it is clear that the Creator never purposed that individual animals live forever. For them death was natural.—2 Pet. 2:12.

What is cruel is killing an animal and letting it rot.  Hunting for sport is barbaric and inhumane.  The thought that someone can go into nature and blow a moose or duck or deer out of existance and get PLEASURE from that is insane.  And they try to to excuse that murder by saying they eat the meat.  Meantime, hundreds of thousands of pounds of chicken and beef are thrown away daily because it goes past the expiration date.\n\nThat's what I don't understand.  Taking pleasure in going into the wild and blowing an animal's brains out.

I am a Christian, so I know where I'm going after I die, and I do look forward to it.  I do not fear death.  I love life, don't get me wrong.  I'm glad that I didn't take my life when I thought I had nothing left to live for.  Life is worth the living, but once my body dies, I'll be in a better place, one where there is no sadness, no tears, no more pain.

you do realize that not eating will ruin your organs, cause you to be covered with fur, and likely kill you, right? because why not go straight for suicide instead of taking the scenic route? you're going to be a skinny corpse. good for you. \n\nnow get therapy before you continue to put everyone who loves you through hell.

You are not so much in fear of dying as you are in fear of how it will happen, when it will happen and what will happen to you after wards.  So lets give consideration to the first two questions. You can not know the circumstances unless of course your doctor has pronounced you terminal. Most of us fear a long, tortourous, painful demise. When it happens we don't want to see it coming. We want it to happen fast without warning. If the nuclear bomb is aimed at my house and this is the last minute of my life, I don't want to know about it.\nThere is nothing you can do to control this part of your future. You can pray and believe that God is going to watch out for you and not have you die til you are very old and then in your sleep. In the meantime, plan on living your life like that is exactly what is going to happen.\n\nNow as to the other part, what happens after you die.  Without talking about any religion lets discuss if you believe death is the end of all or if the personality that makes you, you, survives physical death.  Do you believe in reincarnation? Ghosts? these are beliefs that many people share that indicate that there is life waiting for us once we leave our physical bodies behind.  Many people that have lost someone close to them can talk about being visited by their loved ones sometimes in person and sometimes in dreams. But its a real visit, not just a memory or wishful thinking.\nIf you believe that you will continue to go on after your body ceases there is less to be in fear of.\n\nA good book to read is "What Dreams May Come" that deals with the subject of death and what happens to us.  If you are not a reader, check out the movie on video, the movie isn't as good as the book but the meaning is still there.\n\nDon't get tied up in knots over what "religion" tells you and consider what you personally believe and don't believe.

for those who love their pets, burying provides a sense of closure.  this is very important for children too who own pets.  another reason is hygiene.
