Death
Some poeple see death as a very dark and disterbing thing. And sometimes it is. But it is also a part of life that no one will ever be able to change. Some people can except that and some can't. But no matter who you are you have to deal with death at some point in your life, weather it be the death of a loved one or your own.
Many people wonder what happens after death. Is that it? Does everything just end? Or is there an after life? Maybe you are reincarnated? But how long does it take to be reincarnated? Is it an instant thing? If not what happens to you in the meantime, where do you go, and what do you do?
Some people do die tragically horrifying deaths. Some times at the hands of another human being and sometimes due to horrible disease or illness. But there is nothing you can do to change the suffering that people have had to go through. All you can do is try to prevent situations like that from happening. Many people don't think that it can be changed but there is always a cure in the future for the diseases and illnesses. And by takeing proper precausions you can lessen your rate of dieing at another humans hands.
Death by natural cause is unavoidable. Its something that happens on a daily basis around the world. The way a person cares for thier body helps determine how long one will live before a natural thing, such as a heart attack or stroke, may take thier life away. Many people do feel some pain at death, but many don't feel a thing.
Every one should be prepared to deal with death of loved ones or thier own death but very few people know how to react to such a thing. The death of a loved on can be a very hard and painful thing. But there is always the chance that you will meet again somehere in the after life.
Death can happen at any givin moment. So be thankful for the time you have. And be prepared to move on from this life to the next one. And don't be scared because it happens to every one. All you can do is wait on your turn to go and hope that it is on good terms.
I have come to terms with the fact that I will die one day. I can't say that I'm not scared because everyone is scared to die. And I often wonder how I will die. But I'll have to wait until the time comes to find out. I just hope that I go without a bit of pain. I truely feel that I am prepared to die. But I am scared to leave my loved ones behind. And I hope that my death does not cause them too much pain.
