Discussion What you expect death to be like and what you fear for it to be like.

[TuttiFrutti]

I honestly expect it to just be a loss of consciousness forever, I would hope so.

But sometimes I would imagine still having some kind of consciousness after death and being sensory deprived. Forever. And that's a scary thought to have.

Or if there was an after life, I would still, again, have some kind of consciousness. I'd still have to think about the stuff I've been through, I'd miss my family, I'd still be mentally ill.

All I want to do is escape from it.

expectation: nothing, total neutrality, peaceful empty dark abyss just empty

fear: christian hell

 

[FuneralCry]

I very strongly believe death to just be permanent nothingness where we will be completely unaware of everything for all eternity, this existence will finally be forgotten about and to me such a thing is the only comfort and relief.

I don't fear death itself as I believe we just cease existing, to me any of the other theories are fictional, invented by humans who were unable to come to terms with the fact that existence is temporary, impermanent and just leads to nothing and nowhere. I only fear this hellish reality where there is unlimited potential to suffer endlessly and I see death as being the only escape from this, to die solves what the ultimate problem is, which is existence itself.

Expectation: it's gonna hurt and be scary AF


Fear: it'll hurt more and be even more terrifying than I imagine and my final moments will be filled with fear, pain and despair instead of peace
