It is impossible to fear death ! Fear is a feeling, and death is the essence of non-sentience. In a state in which you feel nothing, you cannot fear. So why fear a state in advance of which you know that once you are in that state you will not be able to fear? But maybe that's not what you mean, you mean fear of DYING, and that's a totally different story. It's a transition, and transitions are usually painful and disturbing. I can totally relate to that type of fear and all these questions pop up in my head "what's it going to be like?", "will I suffer physically?", "what tricks is my body going to play on me to try and keep me alive?". These are all very valid questions to be asked, and the possible answers can be worrying. But think about it: what are we all seeking on this forum? We are trying to share experiences, research, knowledge, so as to make us less worried about the transition from life to death, since we are taking matters into our own hands to make it as smooth and joyful as possible. We should pity the poor pro-lifers ! Because of their rejection of self-deliverance, they will have to just accept whatever will come to them, and bloody hell, most deaths of "natural causes" or accidents are just a plain horrible way to go, and I would never expose myself to the risk of dying in such an inhumane way. WE, the suicides, are holding our destiny in our own hands, we are in command, we can feel free and not let basic biology get the better of our bodies. So we should not fear dying either, since it's our method, our preparation, our deed, and that should give us joy and pride in our last moments.
