What is your relationship with death?

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I don't have one yet

 

[PrincessInWhite]

this is an excellent question!! I have such a complex relationship to it that I'm looking to untangle. On one hand I'm not afraid because the suffering can't be worse than this, and on the other hand I feel "Stuck" in survival instinct and hoping things will improve even when I know they won't. I keep going through the motions of everything that used to make me happy, like a ghost, and nothing happens. It's like going back to a ghost town and trying to celebrate a party with people who aren't there in a town that doesn't exist anymore. I'm crying as I write this. The worst part for me is knowing I'll be saying goodbye to the five people left in my life. I know I will be dead and won't bee conscious so I can't actually miss them when I'm gone, but I still know I'll miss them when I'm alive if that makes sense? And that when I take that final step, it's over. My relationship with them as I knew it has ended. Whew. Thanks for the chance to get this off my chest!

It means freedom of this life.

Oh you know, we have had a rocky relationship, lots of ups and downs. She just can't make up her mind whether to accept me as I am but lo and behold she'll zero on a bunch of plane crash victims in China and welcome them in her loving embrace. Makes me jealous. She can be a real bitch at times too.

The thought of death comforts me and it is all that I want and look forward to. I see it as being the end of my suffering. Death is inevitable for us all anyway and I believe that our only true purpose as humans is to die, life is just waiting around for death, life is just one big distraction from death. I just wish that it is easier to get there, that is all. I am trapped in this world as ctb is so difficult. When I think of death, it makes life seem so meaningless and temporary in comparison. I guess in a way it is impossible to have any relationship with death as I will no longer exist at that point, there will be no more me.

Is it normal to treat death as your gf? I really like corpse bride by Tim Burton analogy in relation with death at first you are afraid but later on you accept it We are like old marriage at this point but jokes aside. I think it will comfy me. After pain of agony there will be peace in the warm darkness whithout counsciusness it will be like a sleep. Like a someone you love hugging you after you endure hell on Earth.

The ghost town analogy is right on. It's all the same people and places but we're just wandering through remembering what it was like before - when there was color and life and feeling… before we died … and people now realize viscerally that you're dead and so they drift away and lose contact … and eventually you're alone the way you're meant to be… you can't sustain a relationship with a ghost … there is no there there …

 

[Hans Voralberg]

Yeah I feel dissociated from life too from reality. Part of me is on the other side now. I thinking how people will react after my death. Making a scenarios of their reactions. I asking myself questions am i get them the right clousure. Who will suffer and how minimize it. It is difficult.

 

[°Celsuis_Caesar]

I'm cheating on death with life, sigh.

 

[Hurt]

I want to meet death and give it a hug. So it could take me out of this awful world.

 

[Flying Away]

Not close enough. Keeps running away. Hopefully catch him this weekend.

 

[Life interrupted]

Love/ hate

 

[Al Cappella]

Well, Death keeps wanting to fist me while breathing its hairy whisky breath in my ear, but I'm insisting on dinner first. We shall see how it goes…

 

[DerTod]

All i fear is being punished with another life.But then again when i'm in a plane and the plane is shaking...heck i get intense fear. Maybe it's because of pain...and not death itself. I don't know...

I knew I was dead already. I've been knowing this for a while now.

 

[Seafoam]

To me death is an enigma.

To me death is an enigma.

After working in healthcare for years.. I feel this way.. I see how much people hold onto life.. we pretty much suffer and in the end I believe there is nothing..

 

[Message In A Bottle]

We're close

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I hope death is like some deep abyss, devoid of consciousness of any sort (even the type we may not know exists; unknown unknowns) and awareness. No one knows no matter what they tell you. And I don't want any do-overs. Nor do I want to come back here as anything else. It's really all a gamble of some sort. Birth was a gamble you had absolutely no control over. Death, on the other hand, is supposed to be a gamble that you have absolutely no control over. Who knows what happens when the natural order of the way things are supposed to be gets thwarted?

 

[Glowarm]

We're old friends and actually well acquainted with each other. We met each other once before and we will again some day.
Imo, death isn't something to fear. It's just another stage of being.

 

[Ashu]

Longing and terror.
