I felt I died. Numb to the world and positive things around me. Hurting,depressed and oblivious to how to get along and exist in this world of ours. I just don't get it how to be happy forever, is there such a thing? There is momentarily happiness weekly happiness yearly happiness, but is there eternal happiness. Is that what people live for doing all the things that they have been told to make them better and happier people in the future while dreading the process of getting there? But I wasn't dead I was alive.

The definition of death is losing consciousness and vital signs. I felt dead but I was still breathing. A lot of people are walking around but dead inside.

So why fear death when life can be so tragic? Some refer to death as the grim reaper. Something to be dreaded..I think it shoulld be thought of as the angel of death who separates the body from the soul guiding the spirit into a better world.

Is death really death.Is it the end of life or the beginning. I think it is the beginning of eternal happiness and peace. But we are selfish and usually not happy with death because we miss that person. I definitely am not happy with it I want my loved ones to stay with me forever.

Accepting the fact that death is part of living and that it has no discrimination can make life less fearful. Why wait until yourself of loved is dying to discuss death? The Christian perspective on death is delightful. The fear is the way we die can be physically and emotionally very painful. Remember during that process there is honesty in feelings and confessions. The reflections of love and ability to humble oneself to admit they have real feelings.

In the process of dying there is a great transformation for the person dying and their loved ones right before your eyes. The depth and the emotions of it will stay in your heart forever. Death can be feared because the love ones left behind children.spouses ,brother, sisters ,mother ,fathers, friends. There is a legacy and lessons left behind that cause the ones left behind to become stronger and better people while on earth.

After someone leaves the earth physically they are still in your heart . During quiet times you can talk to them and some people say they have experience communtion with their love ones who have died. I have not. That can be a very moving and peaceful feeling. The dead my guide the living into a better life and understanding into happiness.
