About dying

dave:
I was just sitting here considering when we come to that place in our time that death/expiring is the next step of our journey, does the thought of dying bring saddness for having to leave all our family, friends, things weve done, things we still wanted to do, not being able to do the one last thing?  Is that what we will be thinking?

Or is it not knowing and maybe fear of what is going to happen when that last breath of living is exhaled?

For me I believe it will be the saddness of having to leave all family, friends, things Ive done, things I still wanted to do, not being able to do the one last thing. For me death has to be the end, the stop, loss of all memory, done, finished,over, but in the midst of that saddendess of having to leave people and things I loved and cared about when I was breathing, the Grace of Father comforts me knowing that Jesus loved me, found me, drew me, and that what is in store is being in the ALL IN ALL.

Not sure about all that Micah but I can assure you from experience that when someone is lying on their deathbed in severe pain...even though they've been pumped full of morphine to the brim...they're thinking along the lines of pain release, and I've heard that cry of pain.  It's agonizing even to those who hear it.  Thoughts of leaving and/or missing anything else is secondary. 

Sorry, morbid but true.

Im sure that is true in many cases and it is not morbid, but real. But there are many that do not have that trauma possibly, and before the pain I would think the thoughts along the lines I described were thought about? No?

It's always futile to play the 'this is what I would do' game. We just never know what we'll do in any given situation, especially in an intense moment. We can only hope:

Rom 8:24-25  We were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

Deborah-Leigh:
1Co 15:19  If we have set our hopes on Christ in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.
1Co 15:20  But at this moment Christ stands risen from the dead......

Notice beyond the dark veil of death, The Resurrection of all life, where death has no hold and the veil torn from above to below, has opened the Holy Place where stands unity in the Presence of God.

Joh 3:19  And this is the basis for judgment: The Light has come into the world
