Just make sure you made a reservation first.

As a true believer in Jesus Christ our Savior, I do not fear death because I know there is life after death that will be greater than my life on earth. As stated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." Study the Bible to understand God's truths which will lead to believing in Jesus and you too will not fear your earthly death.

Oh gentle death, sweet, gracious, beautiful, strong, rich, precious, death. I find, O death, but one fault in thee, thou art too sparing of thyself to him who desires thee, and too ready for him who shuns thee; yet I see that thou dost all things, according to the will of God, which is without fault; but our irregular appetites do not correspond, for if they did so, they would rest on the divine will, in peace and silence, as death itself does, and we should have no more choice than if we were already dead and buried.-St. Catherine of Genoa
Personally death can't come soon enough. Then again I always feel this way in the offseason. ![]() |

I become more at ease with the idea of dying the older I get. I'm fairly comfortable with the idea right now, but will almost certainly fear the moment when it comes. It's one of the mercies of life that we become more comfortable with death as we get old.
As someone else pointed out with NDEs and reincarnation, I feel pretty confident that death is not the end of everything. I actually look forward to the experience of moving to the next stage, but I'm not so eager to try it out.

I’m good with how I spent my time on this earth. I’ve got to experience a shit ton in this life. No regrets. Doesn’t mean I accept death or won’t fight it tooth and nail. But, I can’t complain about what I got to experience.

After my heart attack in 2022, I got the real wake up call.
I don't fear death as I know it is an inevitability.....but like BRC, I am not in a hurry to go. I DO HOWEVER, value each day more dearly than before.... I love more....try to give back in the time that I have left....I don't sweat the little things that used to irritate me and send my BP skyrocketing. I look at my wife and kids with different eyes... |

Why dwell on this? It's inevitable and the first second you are born you start the clock on the dying process.
I choose to live my life day to day but full well know there may be no tomorrow. That is out of my control.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the idea... as much of a struggle as life can sometimes be, I still kinda prefer things remain as they are
It's weird though, back in my 20s 30s and even 40s it was rarely given any thought... Who me? well dang I'm too young to die! But once I hit 50 it all changed, like my old buddy always says... You've seen the best of it |

You're not "miniscule". Think about this. The one and only ETERNAL being in existence, GOD, thought of YOU specifically! God thought of you and wanted you to be a part of his family and of his kingdom and so he created you! Miniscule? Not even close! God knows everything about you and is guiding your path, including you creating this thread!
Luke 12:7 esv Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered... This life is about being prepared, molded, and refined for the life to come in God's Kingdom and God has a MAJOR job awaiting you! It's normal to fear death but please remember this: Ecclesiastes 7:1 ...and the day of death better than the day of birth. |

"Is Consciousness Produced by the Brain?" by Dr. Bruce Greyson, University of Virginia (he leans towards the answer being no, that consciousness is not produced by the brain, and the brain is more like a receiver that you have tuned into, like a channel on a TV or radio station) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPGZSC8odIU
