[QUOTE="Devorim, post: 67041200"] No, I do not fear actual death, but there are ways of dying that can be traumatic, painful, etc. I lost my first husband in a horrific accident. We were so young, and i had promised him that his would be a closed casket funeral and that people would not be looking at him in the coffin. (He was horrified by people looking at his beloved grandfather, so this was his response.) When the man guarding his casket asked me if I wanted to see him, I said no, and the man said he looked like he was smiling. That was huge comfort to me, so it did influence my attitude toward death. However, just knowing the L-rd gives me peace about death. I don't want to do it, because life is already so short and there's so much to do, so many people to enjoy, and many prayers to be brought before the Throne, but when He decides it's my time, His will is my will. He knows best. I have already lived past what the doctors said I would live. I wouldn't be either surprised not to see 2016 or to live to be 100. I believe G-d has been very generous. [/QUOTE]
