Re: death and Immortality
My husband died at 55 earlier this year and my brother died 6 weeks ago aged 55 immortality does not exist. Neither were afraid to die for different reasons but what I would say it is so hard for those left behind. I want to be happy and I try hard for my children and grandchildren but it is still very hard

I hope that in time you will begin to find yourself able to dwell on the happy memories without the pain being so raw. My thoughts are with you

Re: death and Immortality
I think our immortality lives on in what impact we leave behind. While people remember and think about us we are still there..Personally I do not beleive in an afterlife and death holds no fear for me its natural ..The process or manner of getting there does worry me slightly as it does everyone..We all want it to be painless and allow us to leave without suffering.
More important than dying is living, spending too much time thinking about what happens after this life is a waste of the time we have ..

Re: death and Immortality
I’m a believer and so in some ways looking forward to the chance to meet ‘long gone on ones’ on “the other side”Whilst still here though I feel saddened about my contemporaries who have gone before, my younger brother for example, ‘left’ a year and a half ago and I still miss him so badly. So whilst still surrounded by sons and daughters and grandchildren who cheer me immensely, I do miss my contemporaries as we had so much of the past to share. I don’t go along with the idea ‘forget the past there is more future to enjoy’.
I went to the family gathering of a 90yr old friend a few years back and I sat on his table as one of the oldies too! Ages ranged from 5 – 90 and the noise decibels the same. We chatted and he eventually fell asleep amongst the din of it all – in a way I don’t think he felt part of it anymore despite skype links to family elsewhere and great grandchildren playing with their Ipads – it was all too much for him. He was in fact approaching the next world and leaving our present one. I feel a bit like that myself!

No, not you Gummy. Dying? Nah, I'm sure that's the last thing you will do.
