I have no fear of death, before I was alive I was dead, it didn't seem to cause any problems!
I do have a fear of dying, but that's quite different.

Yeah, I am really scared to die... You wont know what place you had in the world, maybe you did something great and you were in a history book, or maybe people just forgot about you. Living is a privilege and it's something I wish I never had to lose... I am scared to die, even though my thoughts and emotions will be purposeless at that point, I still don't want to die...

Not afraid. Not in a hurry to get there at all, quite the opposite, but not afraid. I embrace it. In the words of Captain Picard: "Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again.", and "Our mortality is part of what defines us." I concur. Knowing that I will die some day makes me want to really live, really grab life and squeeze every drop out of it. Imagine how unmotivated you would feel if you had forever to do everything.

I am somewhat afraid of death, but do not dwell on that subject. I am a cancer patient, and have faced death and fought back several times now. When faced with the possibility that I might not make it, I was so focused on what I needed to do, that it did not scare me. People call me one of the toughest individuals they know, but in reality I'm not so tough...I just don't want to die. I've honestly never heard anyone say that they weren't afraid of death, no matter what their belief. If anyone said that to me, I would say they are full of you know what. NO ONE wants to die...and if these people you say are not afraid of it, why does everyone, including the person faced with the dilemma, get so upset if they REALLY believe they are going to a "better place?" Everyone should be happy. It's all balony.

I am not sure I am really afraid of death at all. If I were to die tomorrow, I would fear for the future of my wife and young child. If it were when I was older, with my child well grown and doing fine and my wife already gone, I doubt I would have very many misgivings about it. If, however, I were to lose my wife and child tomorrow; I would probably welcome it posthaste. I think the great deal of our fears concerning death are actually because of "loose-ends" in our lives, and having them tied up relieves a great deal of that fear, and allows us to go to rest peacefully. I am not afraid of dying, I am afraid of failing those I care about, and terrified of the idea living longer than them.

OOPS! I just saw 2014!
Never mind.

I don't fear death per se. It will come inevitably some day sooner or later. But since I think it is simply the end no different than a computer shut down, nothing beyond, I much prefer to play this intriguing game of life before it's check-out time.

Also, while I don't fear death I am mortified to think how would my family fare without me, and that makes me actively try to keep reasonably fit and stay alive at least until they can stand well on their own.

In fact, rather than death, I'm more afraid of perhaps living too long...it would seem rather unpleasant a thought to live past the point where I'd be completely at the mercy of others. I would prefer to check out myself if that comes to pass. I watched my mother linger on for years as little more than a confused scared remnant of human, unable to even move, and held her hand when she finally took her last breath and was freed. And sad as it was, ay the same time I was very happy her machine finally stopped and what remained of her consciousness ceased to exist, certainly a relief for her.

Far more than any fear of dying, is the fear of not dying --- specifically fear of going through years of physical and perhaps mental deterioration, fear of becoming unable to support myself, unable to care for myself.

Since death is inevitable, I very much want a fairly quick one.

Death, technically, is not an event that is experienced in life - life ends then death takes over, and we know we are dead just as much as we knew before we were born (absolutely nothing)

There is a great reason to fear, many billions of people have died before me and billions will continue after me.
I say that I do not fear death but I believe that it is the instinctive and learned knowledge of the pain and great suffering that is associated with dying.

The dying process is almost always painful and emotional traumatizing as we get old we have a harder time breathing, we have mobility and blood circulatory problems. There are many other problems that are associated with old age.

The dying process is most always a road of some type of hardship even if it is knowing that Your loved ones and friends are loosing You.
