[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am afraid of being infirm, losing my mind, and going through an agonizingly paintful death.

The thought of oblivion makes me incredibly sad. I like life too much, would love to see what happens in the world, see my children and grandchildren's lives and so on. I don't cherish the thought of not being anymore.

But once I am dead I won't feel anything, and my consciousness will be gone, so there's nothing to fear about that because I won't realize it since I won't exist any more. Just sadness at the prospect of it.

I feel similarly to this PP. I am a lot less saddened by my own death (assuming it's not tomorrow) than the death of those dear to me. I am terrified of losing someone I love - like DH, one of my kids, my sister - not so much my parents, who are older and I know their time with us is limited, so I have accepted that on some level. Of course, I will be sad when it happens, and I will miss them, but I will not be devastated, like I would be if someone of my generation or younger would unexpectedly pass away. [/quote]
