    Eh, I’d rather maladaptively claw onto life since there’s nothing after it…

    My dad was the only person that I could talk about death so openly with and it really helped me deal with his death when the time came. Am I still a bit afraid to die? Yes. But I find comfort in the fact that my dad also found comfort in transitioning to the other side. I miss talking with him about death.. death is beautiful ❤

    I disagree. I did all the thinking about death I needed to do as a child. It took about 5 minutes. I realised death is inevitable and unavoidable.

    What more is there to think about. Why would I waste any more of my life thinking about something I have no control over.

      I think you have a point.
      But I believe she is simply talking about realizing death is enviable and then make peace with that fact.
      Only then can we say we have lived life well.
      Best to you ❤

    The more I thought about it the less scary it became. I’m still not as at peace as I want to be, but the fact it’s getting better gives me hope. 🙏🏾

    i love life & i’m not at all afraid of death

    i am afraid of dementia & for that reason hope i don’t live too much longer…

    _In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you._ ―Attributed to Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha)
    Alua, you have the right approach. Death and life are the two sides of the same coin.
    *_Without love and sense of humor there is unhappiness and life is meaningless._* 💕☮🌎🌌
