I have just finished a book recently. Have you guys read the book 'Tuesday with Morrie'? It is a very touching one. It gives me a view of how to face one's death. Are you scare of death? Frankly, I am not at the age to bother it but if I am asked about death. I would shudder a while and said death is not that horrible but it is terrible if you have to suffer for a long time through illness.
Therefore, health is very important to us. We should keep ourselves fit not for good looking but for avoiding suffering.

Hi everyone, I am new member .I read this topic about death. What I can say about death is that death does not know specific age .I mean that there are babies, children, young man and adults died .No one can know when and where he is die. So I am worry about death. But that does not make my life stops.
There are two lives: one is this life, another is after death so, I live my natural life but I do not forget to work for my life after death .if you ask me how do you work for your life after death? My answer is that I do every things that god asked me to do such as prayer, help poor people, obey my parents, to be honest, to be kindly, to be clean and many many things (more good things, you do means more marks and recompenses to enter Heaven.). To go to Heaven is my purpose in this life. At the end I read this words in magazine and I think it expresses about this topic,

Whyworry
There are only two things to worry about :
Either you are well or you are sick .
If you are well , then there is nothing to worry about
But if you are sick ,there are two things to worry about :
Either you will get well or you will die .
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about,
If you die, there are only two things to worry about :
Either you will go to Heaven or Hell .
If you go to Heaven, there is nothing to worry about ,
But if you go to Hell , then, there is something to worry about

Your sister

Why is it that when we lose someone we feel sorrow, lonley, anger and sometimes pity. If it is a stranger who dies we feel pity for him. If its someone we loved wer feel lonely. If its a far friend we feel sorrow, and it is prisoner put to death for a crime of your family we still feel anger. Did you noticed something strange in this pattern. Well its "attachment" we tend to be attached to a person or obligated to a person in some form of ways which makes it hard for us to accept death for better or for worse. Those who leave us we never wish farewell yet we start to think about our needs and our wants. Maybe its better for them.

in my opinion,it is not nessesary to warry about the death.nowadays it will happen accidently.the best way not to worry about it is to enjoy our lives.as long as we have enjoyed our lives before we die,we would have no regret any more.
do you agree with me?

hi! ı'm a new member from turkey...

I know what one feels when he or she loses someone,because I lost my MOM five years ago. I think it was terrible Crying or Very sad

I felt as if i were alone in dark space when i learnt that she died.I'd never felt something like taht before,it was so complicated and unbearable. I didn't know what i would do after that moment..but in time i got accustomed to her absence.In two days i came back my normal life actually i had to ,since the life was going on.then i learnt that people could live without person they liked very much Confused

what would you feel if you lost your mom or dad?what do you think Question
