I used to work with a lady that had some psychic ability, we got to talking about ghosts and stuff like that, and she told me she sees deceased people acting like they are still alive, she saw a man that used to work with us, and according to her, he was walking around, doing the jobs he did in life...she got the impression he didnt know he was dead.
Upon hearing her say this, at first I thought that would be impossible, if you are dead, the living are not going to see you or talk to you, etc, but maybe there are other deceased people around him, that do see him and interact with him, and they also do not realize they are dead...maybe they see the living, just like we see ghosts of deceased people? it gets you thinking!
She had great imagination geared towards certain images.
What she describes is impossible. Don't even consider that. Don't load your mind with that junk. Leave it to Hollywood.
Do you have a solution?
Can you show 100% doubt free, what is death and what it brings?
As this didn't help, you know.
I don't subscribe to the notion that the unknown is to be feared. You are going to die. Get over it and live your life. Of course, I happen to believe in life after death, but even from a secular viewpoint of there being nothing after death, what is there about that of which to be terrified?

I agree with this. I also believe there is something after death, but even if I am wrong, there is nothing to fear. Life and death is the cycle of the Earth, and we are part of it.
I am a person who was terrified of death most of her life because of my religious upbringing entwined with a loss at an early age, but the terror was actually cured the day I came face to face with the possibility that my life might be about to end in a minute.
When the aftereffects of That Day cleared, I realized that my fear of death was gone. Just gone. That's not to say that if I found myself crossing a street with a semi bearing down on me I wouldn't feel any fear (as well as some annoyance at my own idiocy), but I am not worried about it the way I once was.
I feel as though when so many others in my vicinity died, a door opened and they stepped through, but I didn't. Someday I will step through that door, too.
I've had an unusual number of deaths in my life of family and friends over the past couple of months, running about one a week since November, so this has been in my head. I kind of think I know a lot of people on The Other Side now.

Hi, MQ. I had that experience. Not with a semi, but as I was walking across the street at an intersection after a car had just past, the driver of that car decided to stop and throw his car into reverse and come speeding backwards toward me. He apparently just wanted to turn at the intersection he had just passed and didn't see me. I had to move as fast as I could and twist in mid air to avoid being hit, but the experience didn't bother me a bit. I just went on my way as if it hadn't happened. And there was no time for fear or even for thought. It was move and move NOW, or get hit. It was just reflex action.
Looking at death as a door is a good way to view it. When you go through a door you pass from one place into another place.
I'm glad that something positive for you came out of that terrible tragic event you went through. And I'm sorry you're experiencing the loss of so many people in your life right now.
You know, ethically speaking, if someone is already terrified of death, saying "how sad a life you have" is adding insult to injury. Only makes person feel more miserable.

Thank you, and yes, there is always another side to every life event.

My statement wasn't intended as an insult, just as a statement of fact. Everyone is responsible for their own attitude. Reality is what it is and a person has to decide how to deal with it.
I've seen more than one christian terrified of death when it actually approaches.
Sure...its fear of the unknown! We have NO idea what the afterlife holds or what its like.
Some of us may claim not to believe in a place like Hell, but we could be wrong too, it may be horrible beyond what our words can describe...and once you are there, there is NO getting out!

Can you imagine what that would feel like?!
eternal hell is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.
