dying
 

Why does everyone have to go through so much pain when they are dying?

Not everyone does, what about if you die in your sleep?

Physical or emotional?

Both are choices, emotional pain is a personal choice
Physical pain are choices we make through our life, how we live our life.

You have to remember the next life will be better for them.

Death isn't painful. You don't even know you've crossed over half the time.

yes death is not painful. life is. after i had surgery for a tumor, i was in pain for a long time. it was three years before i thought i MIGHT live. that was pain.

For all: if you did not it before read the book, please: The Tibetan Book Of Living And Dying
It is really worth to know the book. You can find few answers there.

That's just life as we all have karma to pay. Some karma are heavier than others so they go through more pain. There's consequences to everything we do in this world..good or bad. If we cause other pain, then eventually the pain will come back to us as we need to learn what it feels like to be in someone's shoes. However, there are mercy. If you do a lot of good deeds, you can cancel out your bad karma. So be kind and help as much as you can in life.

I don't think emotional pain is a personal choice because few people realize it CAN BE a personal choice. Unless a person has that insight, they have no idea about it.

Amen to that. It's life that's the pain. I had open heart surgery a little over a year ago, and the physical healing went quick compared to the emotional stuff that I am still becoming awake to and aware of...with a little help from my friends.
