I am scared to die alone.
we all die alone. even when surrounded by company. i kept my mother company until she became late of this earth, she ultimately died alone. but when our proper time comes to shuck our mortal coils, we will be in good hands and will soon be in a better place of no pain and no fear, a place of no earthly concerns.
Thanks, i hope so too.
you're welcome
here are three anecdotal bits of evidence [two from my own family], that dying folk can see a better place or at least a more interesting place- when steve jobs was dying, witnesses reported, seconds before he expired, him with an enraptured expression on his face, and he uttered, "oh wow! oh wow! oh wow!" before passing. when my own father was just about to kick the bucket, my sister and the hospice nurses in attendance saw a similar enraptured expression on his face as he stared at a spot in mid-air that none of the rest of us could see. the expression stayed on his face for at least a minute after he passed. at that time, all in the room saw a filmy wispy mist rise from the bed and hover beneath the ceiling for a few moments, before dispersing. the nurses were in agreement that it was dad's spirit saying "BYE!" when my dad's dad had a CA on the operating room table and was resuscitated, after he recovered, everybody was asking him, "well, what did you see??" and all he would say, is "well, i'm not afraid of dyin' anymore."That is uplifting! Maybe it is too optimistic of me to think this but i believe there is a better world out there somewhere too. And death is not a tragedy for the person departing from this world. It is sad for their loved ones pf course but death itself is a natural thing and i don't believe in sad endings. I think everything will be alright in the end.

It can take just one good deed completed with pure intent to take someone to heaven even if they messed up most of their life if the intent wasn't bad most of the time or if they cancelled out and compensated for the bad stuff in some way .
I believe that anyway.
