SUFFERING:
I suspect we do not talk much about suffering but I think we should. If we are suffering too much, our body just might produce 'certain things' that reduce the pain. For example: our body might go into shock.
DEATH:
I suspect the closest we have come to experiencing death is what we experience when under anesthesia. No need for me to count any numbers backwards: I am gone.
Something else I used to do was rock a 4 leg chair back and forth and after a while, the chair would go all the way back. I never felt hitting the floor. I was gone before I got there.
To me, dying, might not be much different then living.

Happiness is the result of an enlightened mind whereas suffering is caused by a distorted mind.

Why is death feared so much?
Mainly it's the idea that you lose your life, something you know and always knew in a way....
A major loss. Though is it really any loss...

The state between life and the afterlife can be a source of anxiety, that's how I see it..

Yes it's a loss.
Death is real. The specific spirit/body combination that manifested as an individual person has gone for good - that's a loss.
Oh, yes, I do understand the real deal - our animating spirit is eternal. But the unique person we each individually are can NEVER exist again. It was a unique combination of body and spirit.
Does that matter? You tell me..... blessings

For me, as I am in my body and spirit, it doesn't matter.... And I mean this with my heart, having a feeling in that area. |

...... and we are sometimes told there is a possibility we might not come back, but how many of us dwell on that thought? I know I don't.

Yes, and that is a loss indeed.

.... but then, does not Christianity teach that people will come back with a perfect body via the resurrection?
