I'm scared of death

[~Lioness~]

I'm scared of the end of my life it really hurts

There's a voice in my head that says I won't die naturally. It says I won't be strong enough to withstand the pain of life and I'll just go.

This is not uncommon many people have the same fear.
has something happened to make you fear death?
and why do you think your death will be full of pain.

I can give you my perspective, firstly I don't fear death as a spiritualist I know there is no such thing as death, Life is Eternal our soul travel's on
whilst I cant say that death when it comes will be painful.
the fear is actually unfounded.

Just focus on living .

I've had at least 7 deaths in my family the past 2 years and at least 5 of them the last year. Going on 8 now with my cousin in law.

I'm extremely sad. Extremely extremely sad. If I am barely here hanging on in this pain it's only going to be and get worse as I age. Especially when my mom and dad die.

I won't be able to bear it. I guess death and life is just on my mind a lot.

I feel like I'm dying

Fear of death is based on ignorance. So read all you can about near-death experiences as well as communications from those who have passed on. This might alter your perspective on death and dying.

Because physical death is natural and inevitable. And for those who are prepared, the death of the physical body is a release from limitation into a greater freedom.

I don't know how old you are, but when we are young death is an enemy to be avoided. When we are old death becomes a friend who will release us from physical suffering.

And yes, your mom and dad will die. Maybe at the moment that idea seems unbearable and you may think you cannot cope with such a loss. But when eventually their time does come you may be thankful, especially if their passing is swift and painless. Because when we consider all the ways of dying, a swift and painless death is a real blessing.

Why will your pain from other people dying get worse as you age? Maybe as you learn more about the nature of death your ideas will change and you will accept the fact of death, trusting that it comes to everyone with perfect timing.

Fear of suffering is natural. Fear of death is ignorance.

Iamthat,
You're right death itself isn't scary, it's the suffering that happens before you're very close to dying that is scary. Having had a few OBEs and NDEs, I get it.

I worded my post a bit wrong, I meant that I'm scared of the end of my life as in maybe the last 10-15 years when my parents have passed on, and that I'm scared of the grief that I'll go through when my mom and dad pass on..

I really like how you put it that death is a relief for us when we're older. I think I will definitely see it as a relief from pain and suffering, and I kind of already do.

Btw, I'm 33. Last night was very intense, the grief for my cousin came on so suddenly and with power. I don't know why I felt like I was physically dying though..

That is the Grief you think you are doing ok, then something triggers the grief again, there are many factors to Grief.
Anger is one Emotion you will feel then crying getting down etcl.

I can tell you what I saw my mother was in Hospital years previously she had had a Kidney transplant.
they said her kidney was failing so they put her on Dialysis,
Then they said all her organs were failing.
She was in pain, I went to the hospital with my dad to see her two days after they told her her organs were failing,
She was sitting up in bed all smiles all the Pain had gone.

I have always Looked after people I was a carer and I came across a lot of people who were scared of Dying they didnt want to be in pain.
I can tell you they all passed with a smile on their faces.

Listen to what iamthat has said and read about it .

You may be surprised by how you feel after your parents have passed on. My mother died in 2008 and my father in 2015. Naturally I was sad for my loss but my understanding of death kept things in perspective. They had no real spiritual inclinations, and I was curious about how they had found the process of leaving their bodies. And I was grateful that they had both died after a brief illness while still being physically active and with all their mental faculties.

Since they died I have felt a greater sense of independence on a personal level. It has been quite liberating. It is not that I am glad they have gone, but the subtle habitual ties of the parent-child relationship have been cut. Even though I was in my 50s when they died, the conditioning of childhood goes very deep, and it can be hard to change old patterns of how we relate to our parents. So I have been enjoying a certain freedom in myself.

As for your grief for your cousin, as Native spirit says, anything can suddenly trigger off grief, it arises and it passes. And over time the intensity will fade.

Peace

I totally get where you are coming from. Not easy to bear in your situation.

But take a break from that sadness knowing that a part of their soul energies remains here with you and with mother Earth.

You are never alone.

And death is like moving onto the next chapter and be in the next amazing adventure in the book of life where you will begin in a fresh new body.

Relax and enjoy the adventures. Your soul is eternal and is a part of God/Source/Prime Creator. This is not your first rodeo, but by design you don't remember while in the human form.

All the best!

I just wanna hug you!
