Death scares me alot

I was thinking about my death after reading so many great topics about death, which seem to be the new fad around here. I just can't imagine dying. Maybe it's because I'm not religious, but I can't imagine just stopping. Stopping existing. What if there's nothing out there? What if all there is in this world is my body and my heart? What if dying is not that penultimate pleasure until you are judged by the feather? Dying in and of itself just seems horrible. On my deathbed, I would imagine what's going to happen, and not being able to do anything. WHy doesn't God give me the chance to tell everyone I love them when I know I won't be able to soon?What if dying really does just feel like going to sleep, as if resting for the ultimate test, be it heaven or hell. What if I can feel my heart stopping and my brain stop thinking? What if I can feel myself losing my grasp on reality before I actually do? Maybe it's just the ideas in my head, but to stop doing what I have always been just seems horrible. Where are the billions of other people who died to give me my home and my family? Where are they in the celestial cosmos and where will I be?What If I'm not good enough to exist as a consciousness? What if all I had ever thought and done is just a stain upon my descendants? Imagine all those years, thousands, maybe even millions of them before all of humanity joins the dead. What if I can't even see my kids or my grandkids when I die? What if all there is to death is to just stop? Not even resting, not even expecting to wake up, but to just stop being?I need to do something so that death won't be the end of my existence (in a metaphorical sense, not go out looking for immortality).

[QUOTE="KrayzieJ"]Why? How could you possibly be afraid of death? it is the most natural occurrence in life. Know that death is not final, but rather a step. The universe is always creating new life. You will end up as one of them again.TongHua

But I want to see those steps. It's not like I want to roam around heaven as an angel, I just want to keep my consciousness, something that death will take away from me.

Consciousness transcends death. imagine your life is a tree. The tree of life is a metaphor that has been used throughout the ages to describe existence on this planet. right now you are young, if I'm not mistaken, so you are in your spring of life. Soon you will reach your summer, Autumn in middle age, winter in old age. None have negative connotations, all four seasons have there joys and pleasures. But notice that a tree does not die for ever, when it is dead it only stays so for a short time before it reaches its spring once more.

Death is over in an instant, and new life begins again. it never ends, everything is cyclic. This is observable in nature itself, every single day we breathe.
