Fear Of Death - Can You Help ?

I'm constantly worried about dying and it makes me cry a lot. It is a major fear in my life, it makes looking forward to things hard. I stress about becoming older for being closer to death. I'm 16 fixing to be 17. Please can some one help me? What are some ways that can help me not be so stressed about this issue ?

    It appears utterly disturbing from your expression about how you perceive the concept of life and death. This appears exhibits a lot of fear in you and consequently all the worries you have. I would advise you to freely interact with your parents or somebody more mature than you who will help you understand more about it. Try and find some other activities that can destruct you away from reflecting on the same concept such as out door games, reading a nice novel, going out with friends, relaxing on TV and the like. Hope this can help. Good luck.

      This is an attack of Evil, I have been under attack by the dark one just like you from time to time. The only remedy I know is to pray and to come into agreement with Heavenly Father about your purpose here. The purpose of the enemy of man, is to keep you focused on your fears and away from your potential and the love of God. This type of fear comes directly from darkness. Look for some scriptures that counter this message. "No Weapon Formed against you will prosper" is a good one. Every time you think about or feel the fear rising up in you, speak out with the scripture, and thank God for keeping you safe. Continue to speak out in FAith about your health, and God's love and Blessings. These attacks will come less often. Do not dwell on the fear, put it out of your mind, firmly, with words of faith. God gave you the life you have, and he intends you to be Happy and Secure in his Love and Safekeeping. "If God is for you, than who can come against you"? Peace!

        I noticed everyone of the answers above have something in common... They all seem to be opinions of people who have never gone through what you are speaking of. I am not saying any of them are wrong, but I go through what you go through. My stepfather died in March of this year. Him and I were not at all close, but just the fact he was there one minute and gone the next did something to me. I was making sure I told everyone I loved them constantly and had horrible dreams about drowning, seeing deceased people and tripping over their bodies when trying to run away, it was very scary and my family was really trying to help me, but they just couldn't understand it. I do suffer from severe anxiety disorder, so the last answer to you was good. However, the best person to talk to is a therapist. Even tho my family and friends love me, they know nothing about how to help me. If you can, take your family with you when you see a therapist, she/he can explain to your family in terms they can understand as to what's happening to you. I hope this helps... If you want to talk more, I am here. I am new to this site, so you'll have to email me or message me or however it's done.

        I am so sorry that you fear death.You are so young to think like that.There must be a reason! Jesus Christ (in the bible) said of his friend who was in the grave 3 days, Lazarus, "....he is asleep" The bible says that a person has no pain, sorrow, knowledge, fear in the place where EVERYONE is going. We came from dust and we are going back to dust. Have you ever gone to sleep and suddenly woke up in the morning? Hay, I just went to bed! That is how the bible says death is. Of cause the waking up from death will be in his time.
        God has a name! And you CAN pray to him to take these feelings away.In the King James version (translation) of the bible Palsams 83:18 [chapter 83 verse 18] you will find :: JEHOVAH. Pray [ TALK ] DIRECTLY to HIM. Tell him [as if you were talking to a person (that you cannot see) ] your fears that you have about this problem, your wants, your feelings. He will help you in his time...........

        Fear is normal,death is a part of the unknown,just like birth you can not tell anyone what it felt like coming through the birth canel,can you? That is the same way with death it is the fear of the unknown,but at 17 why are you worried? Are you living a dangerous life style,if you are stop it. Live girl, Live like there is no tomarrow,Let that thought go,Find something that will occupy you like reading a good book,find a nice male friend to do things with,hang out with your girl friends,think about college,volunteer for kids read to them,nursing home,read to them or play games with them,board games,teach them a dance step,yohave too much free time,get busy you will be to tired to think straight,good luck...YOUNGSTER..(SMILE)Peace

          You are still so young why all of a sudden fear of old age and death? You should try to live like a normal teenager. You're seventeen(17) not seventy(70). Think of it like this... We all know one day we will die; in general old age. You don't want to be wasting your life fear of dying do you? God gave you life to live and experience, return him a favor and live your/his expectations. You are going to become ill if you keep this up, shortly you will get sick and die sooner if you do better yet just in mental stage and not time to die yet. I and we all know the world isn't perfect and life isn't always fair, but you make the best of it and know dying(later on) that you have finish what you came to earth for. Be happy and do happy things so you can live healthy. Take care be sure to talk with love ones about this matter so you can get more help.

          Why think about death when we are still alive? Death is a scary thing but you should only worry at the time really happens. Until then live your life you are young you will live long!
