Health Do you think about death often?

[Kardashians]

I think about it every day. But I don’t have anxiety around it, or fear it. I just like to think that when I die I’ll be reunited with people I’ve loved and lost in this world. It’s more so hopeful. I kinda look forward to it.

I keep reading health books on how to cheat death! Current book I'm taking in will likely not be all that helpful though. It is in part about how the 1918 Spanish influenza was not caused by a virus. Instead there are other possible causes such as over doses with aspirin, and being exposed to the deadly chemical warfare gas phosgene. The author is trying to make the argument that phosgene gas could have been in part responsible for the Spanish influenza. He does a good job. Apparently the two had identical symptoms that doctors at the time were not able to tell apparent, phosgene poisoning and the Spanish flu. 100 million dead from the Spanish flu. Rather grim statistic.

A wall of earth collapsed on him in a construction accident. Every time I think of death, I remember him.

What do you attribute this wild look in his eye to, though? Do you believe he somehow foreshadowed his demise or something, or do you think in remembering it now youre maybe emphasizing what you saw?

 

[Trabaho]

No. Not anymore.

Even though death is an inevitable part of our lives we should strive to stay as healthy and strong as we can be to stave off the Grim Reaper as long as we possibly can. As we get older we do need to be more mindful of death and be ready for when that day comes.

I honestly dont know. His wife also told my mom that some military looking people came to their house and asked to meet him to discuss things about work
She said something felt off because he was just construction worker and they were not his type of people.
He came back changed but he didnt have that look until later. I did not want to get involved.

There are but four ways to die
A sardonic spirit might have said to me--
There is dying that occurs relatively suddenly
There is dying that occurs relatively gradually
There is dying that occurs relatively painlessly
There is the death that is full of pain
Thus, by various means, they are combined
the sudden and the gradual
the painless and the painful
To yield but four ways to die
And there are no others

 

[Sweater of AV]

Every now and then, I suppose.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I get chest pains semi-frequently and always think I'm going to die of a heart attack.

In fact, you can bet your bottom dollar that if I ever go missing from sherdog for more than a month, that's what happened to me.

So yeah I think about death a lot.

 

[San Marino]

I do almost every day not for me per se, but for my geriatric dog and my elderly parents.

I guess it's only natural at certain stage of life to ruminate about these things.

How about you guys?

I'm much older now. I don't worry about my death but welcome it when the time comes.
I do worry about loved ones that will be left behind and have made my will and estate planning to keep them safe. Money will not be an issue. I certainly don't want to live past 85. I've done everything I wanted to do and if I die tomorrow, I will die a happy man. Lost my faith a few years back.

* Also, on average, 20 US veterans commit suicide per day. Do the math for one month. For one year.

Too many young people in this thread thinking about death. Sad. There is nothing you can do about it. When your time comes, it comes. Enjoy life and the good things you have going for you. Sleep, eat, exercise. Stay away from drugs and toxic people. An animal in your life is always good. Best therapy and medication you can get for free. I rescued and raise 6 standard donkeys. I have saved them, and they have saved me.

When the parent(s) die, it's very difficult not to think about it and that your time isn't far away.

I am thinking sometimes for sure about death and that I haven't travelled that much and while I'm still young (35years old) I would like to visit South America, Thailand, Vietnam Africa etc. would be really cool and then at the same time working so much makes me wonder when will this end... the constant work and when can I start enjoying my life more.

it really kills me inside these things cus I know all this work and money isn't important at all, it's a made up fantasy by some other people not mine though so I would like to live inside my fantasy eventually not others.

 

[Bacco]

Not mine, but with parents becoming elders often i think i must accept at some point will happen, does'nt help dad got recently close to it

Before was never something that would bother me that much (beside the specific situation of family member dying of course), idea of get old scare me way more idea of die

 

[cincymma79]

I take people off life support for a living

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Not really. I mostly just plan for precautions in case I'm incapacitated. I do get frequent check ups and blood work to catch anything early. Survival is a proactive game

 

[crabmeat]

I made peace with my mortality when I entered combat.

Death is easy. Life is hard.

My uncle died recently, never really liked him. At his funeral his wife showed pictures of him dressing up in women's clothes (Freemason?) His wife is a DEMON B1TCH.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Only the death of my enemies.

I would kill @Versez with teh jab and maybe an uppercut if he ever comes to Argentina.
