It isn't necessarily death that scares me, but everything that comes with it. As a human being I am capable of imagining my own death. Here is what I mean..
If I die at home in my sleep, someone will discover my body. Just the thought of someone finding my lifeless body is disturbing. If no one finds my body for two weeks, my body will decompose. Just the thought of my body decomposing is disturbing. My body will eventually make its way to the morgue. Just the thought of morticians giving my lifeless body an autopsy is disturbing. My family will have to make funeral arrangements. The thought of my family making funeral arrangements for me is disturbing. I will eventually have a funeral, at which I will be mourned by those that love me. Dirt trails, church bells, slow songs, sorrow, crying....the thought of all of this is disturbing.
When you put all of those things mentioned in one big gumbo pot, the entire ordeal is disturbing. That is what I fear.
Now with that being said, being the Christian that I am, I know that there is life after death, and our body is just a temporary holding cell, and after death we will be united with Jesus Christ forever.
