Question: What is the worst part about dying!?
For me it is the thought of leaving my loved ones behind!. I will die and cease to have feelings and memories!. Of course that thought is scary and unfamiliar, let alone cold and dark!. But the people who love me and with whom I have relationships will feel really sad!. And it will be because of me!.

I suppose that it is better to love and lose than not to love at all right!? Plus the wonderful memories will remain; it is just that they will be mingled with sadness!. Even though it won't be my fault for dying, I will have caused this sadness in people!.

Anyway, what do you think is the worst part about dying!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The worst part of dying might be - the inability to tell folks about the experience!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the worst part of death is is being aware that it is coming and seeing what a burden you are to others!. Even though I'm nowhere near death, I hate it when I burden another person!.

I watched my mom die slowly for 3 years from complicated cancer and diabetes!. She basically starved to death because she couldn't eat due to the severity of her intestinal cancer!. She was aware of her time coming closer and closer!. She had to witness our sadness even though we tried our hardest to hide it!. She was aware to the end!. That would be tough!.

For me the worst part about dying, is not being able to live anymore!. I don't mind dying!. It is mostly good in my favor!. But without life, I can't imagine what that would be like!.

I accept death as a repercussion of life!. But the fact that my life is no more, kind of sucks!. At least I won't remember it after I die though!.

I wouldn't know!. Hasn't happened yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can`t come up with anything good either, except for pity for the loved ones, but that should`t bother one once one is dead!. I don`t get the fear of death either, not more than a fear of a dreamless nap!. Don`t get me wrong- I love life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can only come up with three answers to this question!. Every person has a different answer to this question!. But I fear the last one the most!.

1) You become a burden to others!. To the people that you love, they have to care for you and you are as helpless as a child sometimes, unable to move, or eat!. You know that your life is no longer in your
hands, but in theirs!.

2) Is the regret of never achieving what you desired the most!. Or to never actually feel accomplished because you waisted too much time!.
And now time is up, and you feel that there is no more control in your life!.

3) The thought of having lived and that your existence will disappear in a matter of days, months or a year or two!. It is the same as the first, but when this happens the real fear of death is expressed!. To live means to exist, and when death comes it end and our dreams, our love, our ideas, what could we have done is gone with us!.
