I lost my fear of death when I accepted that all life ends.

[Rational man]

I lost my fear of death when I accepted that all life ends..

It took illness to force me to face the reality of my bodily death. Facing mortality is inevitable for all humans and I believe our society fears death. We cling to possessions and so called loved ones. Some people think they will live forevermore or that the ' heavenly father' will save them. Thats their belief and I respect that. However, my mind was liberated when i accepted that i will die and my identity will he nomore I fear suffering and im hoping that assistance of my death will be legalised.

Very well said , beautiful. I agree with you on everything. All that We are Now.... is just temporary beings/ baggage in a temporary life / world clinging to numerous things. ( materials, possessions, loved ones, family, friends... ..)

I Just hope that maybe 1 day I can accept that like you, still afraid of death and everything involved with it. Sadly. I need to Let go , and have a different perspective but it's all easier said than fckn done. =/

Thank you for this, Blessings and prayers to you in whatever may happen. -

I fear suffering and im hoping that assistance of my death will be legalised.

Just as UK Emergency Authorization for the AZ C-19 Jab was rushed through…

So should it be rushed through now for Legalised Euthanasia.

The scale and degree of suffering and excess / preventable deaths in the UK is inhumane.


I got so desperate last year but — failed 2x CTB attempts.
But — not due to SI. There was no SI.

I had accepted + lost my fear of death — last Easter.

I never expected to survive — nor did I alert anyone— not even my spouse.

I have since deteriorated to beyond that breaking point — due to my physical illnesses — now lost 95% mobility.

This led me to discover "Psychogenic death" — a valid / long established / common phenomenon— even in perfectly healthy / young people— can occur within 24 hours — depending on the specific / unique circumstances.

— via — Dr John Leach, Survival Expert and decades of much research/ medical literature.

I'm Stage 4 now. As I face imminent
care / nursing home in wheelchair and Depends — 30 years before my time. No. Not going there.

Unless … it will rapidly induce the final Stage 5…

My spouse is also traumatized and torn — too surreal to accept my shocking medically-inflicted reality.
And feeling powerless to prevent my further decline— or to provide a peaceful end.

Hoping for the best — for us all —
wherever that path may lead

I certainly do believe that this society is largely in denial of death, as life is seen as something to be prolonged at all costs and people place so much value and emphasis on something so insignificant as life. But death should never be feared as it's simply the most normal thing ever and it's simply inevitable.

After all, life is just a temporary experience that just serves as a distraction from the fact that we are destined to cease existing, and in fact I've always found the thought of non existence to be so incredibly comforting. I believe that there is nothing more ideal than being free from the burden that is existence and being unable to experience anything for all eternity.

We should hope that Buddhist views become prevalent, I suppose. Except for the bit about non-existence.

Im so sorry to learn of your pain snd suffering and your spouses pain. I can only begin to feel how your illness is causing so much pain, but i too fear a similar ending. The UK health system is on its knees. I was in hospital a few weeks back as an outpatient and was shocked to see so few staff. The consultant was irritated by my presence suggesting i pay for a private consultant which i cant afford now because i spent thousands getting a private diagnosis. Its hard enough being ill without medical staff being rude. Tragically, my disease i believe, was triggered by the c19 vax. The silence from doctors is deafening when i speak about this, Of course i took the vax in good faith but now at 37 it appears my body is failing. Take care.

Thanks for your thoughts. All humans alive today will face their cessation to life regardless of how they feel now and yet humanity often fears nothingness. Thats why we invent gods and angels playing harps. Knowing my death is probably not long has suddenly made the colours in this world so vivid. I see things i missed before and yet in the end it will vanish. The only guarantee we have is that we are alive today. Tomorrow is unknown.

I have read about this effect, when one is sentenced to death or is told that one is terminally ill, he or she goes through three phases: First ignoring, second fighting against ones fate and finally accepting the inevitable. Thought we know that we will all die sooner or later we are in phase one most of our lifetime. I doubt that it helps to commit suicide because nothing is inevitable in this case.

With the advance of everything and all, we will live longer and suffer more. It's the point. What about those of us who can no longer suffer and need the end for compassionate reasons?

 

[TAW122]

I believe I lost my fear of death when I rationally and logically came to terms that death, being the state of non-existence, non-sentient, and unconsciousness is painless and there is no perception of the lack of perception. It is the process of death (dying) that is likely uncomfortable, painful, and/or distressing, and even the step(s) leading to oblivion (due to our stupid biological mechanism, the survival instinct). I don't believe I arrived at this notion until almost or around 18 years of age. I later learned about how there can be peaceful and dignified death (euthanasia, death with dignity) and ever since then, I embraced the philosophy of death not being negative.
