Thought
about death usually brings to our mind sadness and mourning. We can't control
if we'll die. Generally, we don't like to talk about it but because of its
inevitability, maybe we should? Maybe we should change the way we think about
death. Start to talk about what may happen to us or how we want to be treated
like in the end of our life because every person should have the possibility of
choices but not everyone will have it when necessary.
Questions:
1. Does
thinking about death makes you upset?
2. Have you
ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
Comments
I have talked with many people about dying and the ways that I would never wan't to die. It's Interesting what other people think about that.
What I want to happend after my death? well I never thought about that but I guess I would never want to experience nothingness after death and I wouldn't want anyone to be upset for a long time after my death
Thinking about death doesn't upset me. Because I understand it's inevitable.
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
With my family. I told my parents that if anything happens to me, I want to be cremated,I don't want to be eaten by worms. I feel like I'm gonna crash or get hit by a car.
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
I'd like to be reincarnated. But I think that after death nothing there.
No. I haven't.
There is one wish, I want to be cremated.
Death is a completely natural part of our life, I don't know what may happen later. For me, death is not a taboo subject, it doesn't cause top-down sadness for me. It isn't pleasant when you look at the deaths of others, but you also have to accept it.
I would like to interpret death as the beginning of another, perhaps a happy stage. The beginning of something good.

2. Yes, me and my friends discussed the way each of us would like to die. We also talked about the most painful ways to die and also the dumbest ways to die and many others ways to die.
3. I don't know what happens after death, but since the body is not going anywhere and is probably useless for me at that point, I would like for my organs to be donated to people who need them the most.
2) No. No, I have not.
3) Not really.
I don't want to think about the way I'll die. I don't really care though, I just hope that it won't be something very painful or stupid. The best way, in my opinion, is live a long happy life and die in sleep in age of 90 or something like this.
I would love to be remembered as a good person after my death, that's really all that matters. And if my organs will be used to help somebody live their long happy life I'm ok with it, anyway it's better than rotting in the ground.
I have talked about it with my dad. But I think there is no matter in what people believe. As for me if someone mentioning your name with good intensions it means that one thing you made right.
There are a lot of jokes about death between me and my colleagues, so, basically, yes, I talk about death everyday.
I want to be cremated. And I want my ash to be put in the soil where a tree will be planted soon after. I don't wont to be buried in the box.
Of death of my friends and family? YES. I mean... It is terrifying to me.
My death? It makes me fell... curious. I want to know what is next. Nothingness i guess. But you can't be sad in nothingness so why bother with sadness?
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
Nope.
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
I don't know. I am open to new experience so to say.
Not really, I've only told my friend about the dream that I had in which I died and it was realy terryfing for me. But it was just a dream.
I have never thought about it and nothing comes to my mind now.
Yes, I once had a fascinating conversation with my girl. We talked about it for few hours and we learned a lot of new about each other but didn’t come up with common view in the end.
Yes, I would like to see an overall statistics of my life, the best moments, number of completely wasted hours, an alternative scenarios, what if I did this and that and so on.
Buried underground, but I hope my tomb be in a public square if my deeds in life worth to be my tomb in a public square.
I just hope people remember my good deeds in general and they say good luck. :)
2. I think so. And when I think about all the ways I can die it makes me feel uncomfortable.
3. I have no idea, really. The Andrew's idea about statistics of life is great.
Not really. I have to admit that I haven't spent much time on thinking about dying yet. Hopefuly I will have time for it in the future. Dying is natural, everyone will die eventually. I prefer to think and talk about living.
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
No I didn't. At least I can't recall it in my memory right now.
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
It is a bit too early for me to think about it.
No, not really.
‘For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.’ Philippians 1:21
As a Christian I’m not afraid of death, because I know what awaits me after.
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
Especially me - not. But I heard such ‘stories’ from my classmates at school.
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
I don't know. I have never thought about this.
No, I didn't.
For sure I do not want to be buried. The only alternative that I know is cremation.
Death is popular subject among my friends so I talked about this many times. I think talking about it tames us with concept of death. We should not deny death, but it happens often in our west culture right now.
I didn't think about it right know, it is too early for me to write my testament.
I've probably talked with few people about the way I may die but I can't remember with whom I may have talked.
There is nothing I want to happen after my death.
No, becouse I know that everyone will die one day. Thinking about death makes me stop and think about many things which I'd like to do in my life, before die.
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
Not yet. I think I'm young and I have a lot of time before death, but I definitely agree for use my organs for transplant.
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
I have not think about it yet. I would like my loved ones to accept it.
2. Of course I talk about it, it was a casual conversation and I think I'd rather not be aware that I'm dying. For me, the worst is slow deaths like burning alive, strangling, dying of hunger.
3. I want go to heaven of course
It reminds me that our time is limited. An excellent phrase I read this week was something like that life is long, but 24 hours are always not enough. We should value our time and use it as much as we can. You live only once.
I had this discussion about the way I may die several times in my life. Every time we concluded that we can die even because of some foolish mistake like the wrong step and falling down on cracking our head on the pavement. That's why once more, we should be happy, take from life and help others.
I'm completely fine with disappearing. Let's say I reconciled with this. This approach allows me to be surprised only in a positive way, so I think it's a wort following idea.
Yes, especially when I'm thinking about my family or from my environment. It's very sad to even think about it, but you have to face the truth that it will happen one day :(
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
No, why would I talk about things like that?
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
I don't know what to expect, so it's hard to answer that kind of questions.
I've never talked with someone about the way I may die but I've talked about what to do with my corpse after my death and how funeral ceremony should look to. I want to be burned and I want a big party after where people should lathing, drink and listen to good music.
2. Probably yes but I don't remember any details.
3. After my death I want to donate my organs and that's all.
I don't think so. It's known, that one day we're all gonna die.
"Everybody gonna die, gonna go one day, maybe it'll happen on a Monday" as Logic said ;).
I'm not scared about dying. I'm scared about getting old and being a dotard.
2. Have you ever talked with somebody about the way you may die?
No, because I'm focused on living. It's such a blessing to be alive and I'm trying to live the best I can.
3. Is there anything you want to happen after your death?
I don't know... I just want to be remembered.
And I know one thing - I don't want to be buried.
I have never talked about death with anyone as I have more interesting stuff to chat about and I frankly can’t think of something to discuss about it. Also I prefer to think about it as about something that is just will happen and that’s it.
I am not really concerned about what is going to happen after my death as I obviously will be dead. Also I don’t really think 20 is the age when you seriously think about yourself passing away, so the answer might change if I’ll be asked this question in forty years.
Yes, I remember in primary school old friend of mine said that if he doesn't die till 90 , he would do something crazy like jumping from the plan without parchute or something like that.
Not really, I just hope there is some place when we would go after.
