I've been talking about this with a few people in a few threads on a few sites today, and I decided I wanted to know your opinions and experiences aswell.
My mum died in labor, and her family blames me for it so they're no longer family. ^^
My dad died last week Friday, and I haven't been sad about him (yet?) We weren't too close. He had a car crash and he was recovering... He was showing my stephsister he could walk the stairs again but fell and died in the hospital.
When my boyfriend's mother died two years ago, he was there with ehr. She was suffering from cancer, and she was screaming and crying for morfine. I was just out to get us something to eat, so when I returned, he stood there and it was the first and last tiem I saw that one expression on his face... terrible. I hope I never get to see it again.
I myself would like to die by either bungee jumping when I'm 80+, or drowning at a younger age. I think a drowning death (preferably in the ocean) would be a beautiful last view.
Discuss: Death.
Sorry if there's a thread like or about this already, but I didn't see it.

Beep.
Welll, my sister died when I was nine. My brother, and my dads first child, died the same year I was born. Just a couple months before. And my sisters death set off a chain reaction of deaths. x.x Most recent one, was a woman who I've known almost all my life, and was like a grandmother to me. [Well, that was the last funeral I went to. >.>; I think.]
And how would I like to die? I'd like to die in my sleep, right after sex. XD
Kidding.
...Sorta.
I would like to die in my sleep though. It's the least painless. But, I'd like to live a long life, like my dad, who is 72, and in perfect health. =O I'd like to have a full life, and see my cubs grow up, and maybe have grandkids. =O ^^;

O_O...wow...well i'm not sure how I would want to die really. I am not really worried about it, when I die it's cause it's my time to go and I wouldn't mind. I'm not really afraid to die, I am just afraid to go through dieing ._. I mean, the thought scares me, having to feel it happening to you and not being able to breathe and all. :shock: But yea, if I were to die i'd want it to be peaceful and to pass away quietly. I dont think it could happen, but i'd rather die not feeling anything, like maybe if I was asleep and dreaming and suddenly I just walked into heaven. ^^;; Yea, unrealistic I know...XD lol But I do want to live a long healthy life and get married and all though. ~^^~ If I die I hope it's later when i'm older. XD
Well, my grandpa died when I was little, it was hard on the family cause we were all close and well, when he died we kinda fell apart sortof...but I didn't really understand it to well when he did pass away though...he got really sick, i'm not sure what exactly he had though.
And last saturday, I found out about my dad being in the hospital. He had gotten Namonia and well, it got worse and all those years (he did quit for a while but then started closet smoking T.T) of smoking didn't help either. We went to go see him tuesday and well...me and my sister went in to see him together, it was really hard seing him that way. There were machines around him and something to help him breathe. He was uncounscious and not aware of anything but he was able to hear so we did get to speak to him...we couldn't stay over night so later we went back home and wendsday morning we got a phone call and he passed away....today is his funeral (at 4:00)..and I cant even go because my mom wont let us only cause she doesn't want to and doesn't really care.
:x T_T
So I'm just sitting here on the computer cause there's nothing else to do and my dad's funeral is in two hours and I feel bad that I cant be there...and mom's here asking if we want to go get ice cream..>.>; Like nothings even happened/happening...

That is a lot of deaths, for both of you. My condolences. <3
Thankfully, I haven't had to experience many close deaths. My cat died some years ago, I think I was nine or ten. We were really close, so that hurt, but I was still young and the sorrow didn't last long. He was young, too.
Two years ago, my father's brother died, he'd been seriously depressed most of his life and I understand he comitted suicide. I was in Italy on my own at the time, so I only heard about it when I got home - my mum didn't want to spoil my trip, so she didn't tell me right away. I wasn't very close to him, he kept very much to himself, so it didn't affect me too much. But I heard that my dad cried quite a lot and I've only ever seen him cry once before that. Then I saw him cry at the funeral and when they closed the coffin. When they closed the coffin was really hard, because then it really sunk in, seeing him lying there stock still, that he was actually dead. Also, seeing my dad, my grandmother, my dad's sister and everyone in the family crying was heartbreaking. I rarely ever see them cry, so.
Last fall my other cat died. He'd always been extremely close to me, closer than anyone else, in fact. He had diabetes and one day he got lost for a couple of days. After he came home (after not getting his insulin or anything) he didn't eat or drink at all and finally the vet came over and put him to sleep. I still miss him so much.
What do you guys think happens after you die? That's something I'm very interested in hearing.
I'm not going to die, ever. Like Hob Gadling. 8)

I think something reincarnation-like. I don't know... I don't believe it just ends like that -p00f- gone. But I don't believe in God or a higher force or anything eiter. Just the human soul/mind/whaddyacallit.
<3 Aurora. :3 I'm glad I managed to do at least that for you. :)

So that the soul/mind/spirit is born again in a different body? And do you think the soul/mind/spirit can be born again in a different species altogether? Like that in the next life, you might be a whale or whatever? And maybe in a different universe? Sorry, I'm just curious. :3

I agree with you, Justin. I believe in reincarnation. Like, our body are only shells that hold our souls, and we never really die. It's just our host, so to speak, that dies. It sorta makes sense. Like, when you feel like you've done something before, or you have dreams. Dreams are said to be memories of a past life. =3
And, ljosberinn, I know how it is with your animals dying. My dog of eleven years died at the end of last year. She was my baby, and I bawled, seeing her die there on the vets table.. My mum literally had to pry me from her body. >.>;;

I don't know, maybe. I think major badasses are punished by being reborn as an animal... because there are some animals that are very intelligent. And I do believe in alien life, actually. ^^;;; I just don't want to meet it. *shivers*
._.
I don't now how life started either, but I don't think I want to know. It's wrong to want to find out... Like it's wrong to watch your folks have sex.

Alanna, yeah, losing close pets can be just like losing a close sibling or a best friend. .__.
You have a good point there about the reincarnation, it does make a whole lot of sense.
Marissa, I know what you mean about not wanting to know, heh. It's something I think we're not supposed to know.
The idea of punishing bad people by them being reborn as not-so-smart animal species (if I understood you right?) is kind of Buddhist, I think, but I'm not too sure about that. Because who is to judge whether they are bad or not. If, for example, they do believe they're doing the right thing by killing people, would that make them good or bad? Bad, according to most others' morals, but good according to them and their hearts and beliefs.
By other universes I was more talking about different dimensions, I sort of believe in those. I like the ideas from Philip Pullman's books, the His dark materials trilogy, where there are countless other worlds (dimensions) and that when you die, you sort of become one with nature. That is why, if I ever die I'd like to be cremated, and my ashes to be let loose into the wind. But I'm not too sure what happens. I'm also very keen on the reincarnation idea.

At least someone understands me. =3 It's so hard to find people at my school that understand what I'm talkin' about.
But yuh..
Justin, your thing kinda makes sense. But as ljosberinn said, who is the one that really says what good or bad is? I some from a semi-religious family. I went to church when I was little, but I was never really involved. My parents never forced me. So, I've never really believed in "God". But, I kinda believe in the Greek deities in a sense.. How can one person be in charge of everything? It would be too much, even for someone who is all powerful. There has to be more than one person up there, controlling us so to speak. Not really controlling us.. But watching "over" us. Or am I ranting? >.>;;
People say I'm crazy. =D

I believe that as long as there are people who believe in them, deities and gods exist. But as soon as noone is left to believe in them, they die. I myself believe in most of them. :3
I don't believe Jesus was God's son though. I believe he was an amazing man, capable of many things normal people weren't, and full of beautiful, good and true intent and beliefs. But I beleive he was a human, a prophet maybe, but a human nonetheless. That's my personal belief. :]

Whee.
You're my new best friend, ljosberinn. XD
See, they say Mary was a mortal. But they say Jesus was a god. How could he be immortal, if he came from Mary, a mortal? They say no human is perfect. But they say Jesus was perfect. Again, how can he be perfect, if he came from someone who wasn't perfect?

Haha hurrah, I have a new friend! *Dances*
And we're sure straying away from the subject. >.>
You make a lot of sense, although those aren't really my thoughts. I don't believe in perfection, for starters.
Mary was only a.. well, a way of getting Jesus into the human world. You know? They couldn't really have him just descend from the heavens. ;D
I just don't really believe God would ever have a son. I adore Jesus and all, but there's something about it all that smells fishy to me. (And bread-y..) But then again, the Greek gods had children with anyone at all, human or not, and they were all half-holy, half-human.

And yes, the Greek gods could have children with mortal or other gods. They were called half-mortals. Like Hercules. =3
Ohh.. Hera hated him. She tried everything to keep him away from Mt. Olympus..
Wow. We are straying from the subject. >.>;;

My mother could'nt take care of me (I still dont know why)
So my grandmother did so that i wouldnt be put in a foster home.
When i was 12 she died in 2003 of Breast Cancer.
All of her money was sent to me rather than her Kids (my aunts and uncle)
They hate me (except my aunt taking care of me now)
and I have to live with them and thier hate of me having that money for college and me not being overweight as they are.
I guess when im 18 ill move somewhere far and live happier.

Haha yes, Zeus was constantly off screwing some other women, the horndog. :Š Hera was always pissed, of course, and would often take revenge, often with funny consequences. I've forgotten so much of the myths from the Greek, but I grew up reading them, so they're all very dear to me. :]

Yes. I'm weird. -Giggle-
But, the craziest thing in my family is my aunt. XD She's all super religious. So going over to her house for christmas is.. Ugh. Hell for me. >.>;;

Super-religious doesn't have to be bad. It's just the people who try to push their believes unto you and trying to convince you theirs is the right way, that's when it gets annoying. .__.
I enjoy babbling about religion. I think it's fascinating. Not organized religion groups, just.. the idea of religion and faith, mythology, things like that.

^^; religion annoys the sh!z out of me. All of it. I like those Greek myths, but I like them as stories. The thought of billions of people putting all their faith in something non-existant scares me to no extent... because when they finally realize what they've devoted their lifes to is fake, they'd all be lost. ._.
When I die, I want to stick around for a while so I can see Marissa grow up (at least 'till she amrries or something. :3) and after that I want to coem back as a pwetty giwl. :3

I think religion helps people do right in their life, most of the time. Most religions seem to carry a similar message of love, and they're full of good morals. Of course there will always be those who misinterpret, but I think that because of religion, there aren't nearly as many bad people around as there would be. Although nowadays, it seems like people are growing more and more atheist. I don't have anything against atheists at all, by the way, I'm just saying that religion does carry a good message most of the time, and if people feel they've led a good, rightful life, they'll be happy wherever they end up after death. :]

I havn't had anyone in my immediate family die yet. I'm not so sure what happens after you die. Most like to beleive that something happens, but that's within their own self-interest. When people die, don't the just...well..die? Life is far too short.
