Has anyone ever thought about death as - accepting it, is easy?

Is death the end?

Have you ever been afraid of dying? Or afraid of losing someone you love/family member/neighbor/ child/ etcetera. etcetera.

Acceptance? Any views on that?

How do you accept death?

Death is inevitable & a process of life....can't get away from it...i've thought of death often....but before that we've been blessed with life & if focused on the beauty of life it can be very beautiful.....bad things are around us but if you see the true beauty of life it outshines death...

Death is not the end....the soul lives on....

Sad fact of life, is that no one gets out alive.

We all die.

As far as acceptance goes, I've accepted my own, without fear. It's been an absolutely good life.

As far as accepting a loved one's passing... though it's inevitable that we lose loved ones, I'm not really accepting of that.

there's only ONE thing no one can avoid and the only thing we all have in common, DEATH.

Blondey111 and I have something in common...

We both have obviously witnessed death often enough that there is a mutual anxiety about how we may actually die.

As for what we anticipate after completely expiring... ? There we differ in so-much as we expect a different state of restfulness.

(Restfulness Or Oblivion, For Lack Of A Better Word)

You best hope your right about the end or it could be a hot afterlife...

TB Rich was the first to call me, 'Sheihk Yur Booty'.

Where is TB Rich, lately ?

Yes... !

I'm expecting the ladies to be spectacular.

Sheik, can restfulness be explained after you're gone?

A different state of restfulness - as in what? You're dead and that's it?



To me death is inevitable. To so many of us as well. I know I will die some day. We all die eventually.

No one gets alive from this one. That's for sure. As Benjamin Franklin once said..." There were only two things for certain in life: Death and Taxes.

But there's more to it,
More about acceptance.
How do you accept death?

Hi Blondey ... Thank you! May I have the address? :-)

Hold it everybody... !

I'm contemplating the advantages of, 'Death By Chocolate.'

The ladies wont stand a chance !

I think, you can only accept death once youve made peace in life.

Considering it is a general religion thread and not on the philosophy or health forum... I could say more, but...

That's why I said, "Restfulness or Oblivion, for lack of a better word."

Non-Believers hope for Oblivion I'm assuming.

Thank you, NASCAR. God bless you.

when I was in my early twenties my mother found out she had cancer..I was married for two years, had a baby son at home and my husband was in his senior year of college and student teaching..Mom lived an hour away so each day when he got home from classes and took the baby I drove that hour to be with her. oh we had tried chemo, radiation and even experimental drugs but the tumors that began in her cervix showed up in her lungs and they were growing at too fast of a rate to be able to shrink them enough..
I would read to her, help her change into her nightgown, sit with her, give her sips of water, listen to her mumble in her morphine drip haze, smile at her each time she looked at me and when she slept and I heard that ragged gasping for air I would go into the kitchen, hang my head and bawl like a baby..angry at God for not healing her fast enough..for allowing this cancer to grow in her..for taking a good person when she was only 48.I was angry that my children would never know their grandmother. I picked out her outfit, the cross that hung around her neck. I was 24 that year.



two years later, my mother in law fell to cancer also...throughout my twenties I attended so many funerals my wardrobe looked mostly black..aunts, uncles, grandparents, then my father when I was in my early thirties


when they are in pain, suffering from a disease or illness
I understand that death is a release from that
that they are given peace

my faith..my hope is..one day when it is my turn
I will be allowed to see them once again
