What type of death terrifies you the most

[Anonymous]

Slowly being devoured by small animals like raccoons, rats, and birds of prey.

Cancer.

It's interesting what makes people prefer one vs. the other. I want to be cremated but my spouse is opposite.

I never understand why it matters to anyone. Whatever my survivors want; it has nothing to do with me at that point.

Also, scared of like creepy torture/serial killer murder.

Interesting. If my kids were with me and I knew they were going to die too, I'd feel more at peace than if they weren't with me and I was conscious of the fact I was dying and about to leave my kids motherless. Obviously the former is horrible too but of the two options I'd rather we all die together. Is that horrible/psychopathic of me?

Slow torture. Like what happened to the Savopoulos family.

What do you mean?

Painful. I don't think I fear death so much as I fear a painful death.

On the other hand, any type of death might be terrifying since I have no idea what happens at death and beyond, if anything.

Long slow death from dementia.

People scared of these short but catastrophic scenarios are interesting to me.

I've seen somehow fully mentally sound die a long and slow death of cancer where their body fails them and in the end they are trapped inside their body and have lost all dignity.

That's what I'm scared of.

No I’m with you. I’m actually most scared of dying in some horrible and unexpected way in front of my kids while they’re forced to live and deal with that, like freak heart attack or impaled by a shower rod or something.
