I was going to post this in Health and Ageing, but the topic seems less technical and more philosophical. "Religion and Faith" doesn't feel inclusive enough, but it's probably better than "Chips and Pop". So ignore religion freely if that's were you're at.
For many of you, an afterlife is relevant to the discussion (that's good), but I would prefer this thread doesn't go sideways with arguments about the existence of an afterlife (another thread?) Of course I can't control that, but as a favour, I just want to know people's thoughts regardless of their beliefs, or lack thereof around death.
For me dying itself isn't fearful....I fully accept my mortality. I expect many of us older people feel that way. It's getting there that scares me. What happens before we die...pain, loss of dignity etc.
