Energy makes your heart beat, your brain think, your legs move, and we know from science that energy is never lost, only transformed. So, being creatures of energy death simply transforms us, just like being born does. We become something new.
Not something to fear... xxx
I'd also like to think that everything we learn during our lives isn't wasted. I don't think it is.

The healthcare system is crap I have been waiting now for about 18 months for open heart surgery to have a replacement Aortic valve put in and last Monday I went to see the surgeon and he apologised and said I had fallen through the cracks and my surgery should have been many months ago, so I asked him ok so when will it be scheduled for me now and he couldnt tell me, he said he was so busy that wasnt going to put a time on it.
Yep GREAT health system.
I don't think death itself is anything to be afraid of - the getting to the point of death with probable pain is scarier than anything else for me, mainly due to being a big sook about pain, whereas I see death as just opening another door - one which we didn't know was there.
Mind you though - apparently I'm weird.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
