Just something picked up from the latest RIP thread. . Its gonns happen Are you afraid? Have you done a will or steps to help your family, loved ones?
I'm still looking for the next ex-Mrs Blunham! And so's the current Mrs B! Too busy enjoying myself Comm. Doesn't do any harm to plan ahead though.
Well I certainly wouldn't want to die of pit lung disease like both my granda's did. Or cancer like my Janie & my dad. I guess if you've been told that you're terminal then most just want to go. If it's conflict, then I would just hope I'd get through.
My mum went from cancer very, very slowly, when I was a kid. My dad went from a massive heart attack in my twenties. I know which I'd choose if I had the choice.
No. I`m not afraid of dying. Not looking forward to it obviously but certainly not afraid. It`s a natural progression. There are those who believe there is an afterlife. I know for fact there is something else. It`s personal and I`m not going into details but I`m very very fortunate to have that knowledge. It wasn`t a near death experience or anything like that. In fact it was nothing to do with me. I hadn`t a clue what was happening. It was a message I was given to pass on to someone I`d never met. Totally weird and I`ve no idea why me. It was only later it fell into place. Really strange. I had no idea what it meant but when I passed it on it made a massive difference to someone who hadn`t told anyone she was terminally ill. The most amazing thing. It`s nothing to do with angels, clouds, harps or any of that rubbish. Believe what you like but for those who say when you die that`s the end, you`re wrong. I know for a fact it isn`t. I haven`t a ****ing clue what it is but it aint the finish.
Not so much scared of dying, not when I'm old at least, but I am scared of looking back on my life when I know I'm about to die and feeling like I've wasted it. That scares the crap out of me and I don't like to think about it. I'll have a family of my own any day now and I think that will help set my mind to rest on that.
I had a massive heart attack when I was 36 I was saved by the nhs doctors in hospital. The doctors have given me 24 years of life that I probably should not of had. Last year I watched by bro inlaw who I went to school with die of cancer after a long painfull illness - this hopefully will not happen to me ( l have already taken measures to ensure not - just hope I have the courage if that happens). i know which I would prefer
My dads family are all spiritualists Pops. And although I'd love to believe as they do, and I've attended a couple of their services, it all just sounds like so much hogwash! I have good friends back in Sunderland, both teachers, practise their religion every Sunday. Whilst I find their religious beliefs mind-boggling, I envy their faith. Blind faith. I just don't get it. Yet the more I think about it it, and try and reason it, the less I doubt them, and the more I doubt myself.
Never been to a spiritualist meeting mate. No intention of going to any. I`m not a regular church goer or anything like that. I have no idea why me.
Funnily enough it is a subject that I have given a lot of thought of lately, and for me the fear is that I may not have left my loved ones enough to get by without me should I go soon..
I try not to think about it - I try to live for the now ...I don't enjoy allowing myself to be morose and moribund
