Is it normal to be terrified of death?

As you get older, the less it bothers you. I'm nearly 63 and I realize that I'm on my way out. I'm not sad about it b/c I hate this terrible cruel world. I find the human race pathetic. I tired of wars, violence and cruelty. There's got to be something better than this. I'm not depressed just resigned.

I'm in the same boat, and to the point that it bothers me quite often. I think it might be normal, but to me the idea of not existing is terrifying as well. I'm not sure what to do about it... Trying to enjoy every second came to mind, which holds truth, but doesn't make it any less terrifying.

I am too afraid.............I ask Christ to accept me...and cover me in His blood. There is nothing more to do. No works can get you saved. Just admit and ask like me. Even now...I am a bad example. I don't know..........I do wrong all the time to this day. I know that one..He made Himself real. If that happens to you....you wont think I'm funny.

Come sweet death, lay me to a never ending rest.
Bless me with eternal sleep.
Take me from this world of pain, so that my heart may be a peace once again.

Just kidding.

You'r normal.

The thing is I can't make myself believe in a god just because it would make me feel better, just like I can't make myself believe that the Holocaust never happened, that nothing bad ever happens, or that unicorns exist. All of these things might make me happier if I did believe them but that doesn't mean I should.

Personaly I don't believe in god because that is the conclusion I have come to after careful observation of the world around me. Unless someone/something can show anything to the contrary I doubt my opinion will change.

I really hope it's normal because it's the only real fear i'm saddled with. I'm 19 and for the last 4 years or so it's been something at the forefront of my mind. I often take panic attacks when I consider it (usually before falling asleep) or cry a lot. For me it's the inevitability and the end of existance. I'm not an atheist but don't follow a religion either. The best way I know to deal with it is to live every day, not to be afraid of new experiences and do everything I want to do. It doesn't make me any less scared but I do take some comfort from knowing that I won't regret anything.

i kinda want my death my family fing hate me live at home pay double rent just want suicide but then i cant i got my little bro to worry about

Same exact thing with me I getting depressed right now thinking about it lol it's just like after you die that's it you can never think or anything again ahhh depressing

its normal, but don't be scared, were all going to die, you and me were both going to die, i guess death unites us in a way, one day when we all be together in death, how and when we die we don't know, but we will all be dead one day

Im an atheist too but to not exist anymore hasnt been a problem for me. Im afraid of pain and leaving the ones i love behind me, but to die? thats simple and once its over, thats it, just like when you hadn't still been born

I actually DO believe in some sort of afterlife but I'm still scared about it. All I want to do is keep on existing...I can't handle the idea that I might not.
I don't even think the human lifespan is an adequate enough time to really figure this life and this mind out.

Makes me sick to think about it.

No lectures here. I accept your beliefs whole-heartedly. Here's my question: how could you expect anything short of these fears with nothing greater in mind that might (just might) take care of these fears by removing the?

Food god thought
