Q&A Monday-Death
What scares you the most about dying?
I think what scares me the most about dying is having the uncertainty of what will actually happen. Will it be just like falling asleep and going to battle when the day comes like the bible says? Will we wake up as a new person or thing like Hinduism or Buddhism says? Will that just be it and nothing comes afterwards like some believe?
I know that I should be comfortable in my faith that death shouldn't scare me one ounce but it does. It has honestly scared me for various reasons as I have grown. As a child when I was about 8 I had the revelation that I and everyone that I loved dearly was going to die. I don't know where the thought came from but it was while I was laying in bed one night and I cried about it forever. Then as a teenager I realized that in my faith some off my family would not be with me and I would not get to be with them. As an adult, I think my fear is leaving behind all that I haven't accomplished and want to do with my life.
I don't want to give it up and I don't want my life taken away so what is a happy medium? I think this is one thing that I will never be able to get over until the time comes just have to go. Which I am sure that by the time it happens I will be ready but until then, I am here overthinking it.
