Death is an everyday occurrence, yet so many people fear it. We cannot stop it, it will come to everyone some day in their lives. Why live worrying about death when you should be enjoying life. I have had family members die in the past few years, yes it is depressing but we get over it. I am not sure what i think about the 'afterlife'. I kinda believe in the supernatural, but i have no idea if there is an afterlife because i haven't been there yet ;p
A year or so ago i used to fear death and think about it a lot, but iv gotten past it now and don't see it as a big fear.
I guess people see death slightly differently, some are terrified of it, others don't really care. Whatever your opinion, try to focus on your life rather than your death.
