How often do you think about Death?
I mean your own death?
I find myself increasingly thinking about my own demise and realising that in my early 40's, I've probably had noticably more of my life than I have left.
It crosses my mind most days at the moment (maybe cos thats all you ever hear about on the news just now, what with the deaths of soldiers in Afghanistan, soldiers and police in N.Ireland / Jade Goody's imminent demise ...She's been afraid to sleep as she's scared she won't wake up....sod that !)
The horrible thing is thinking that if there is nothing on the other side (which there probably isnt) then thats it, nothing..... ever again ever ever!
Scary stuff indeed

Re: How often do you think about Death?
So would you consider yourself to be middle aged now then even though your life is about to begin 'apparently' ?

as long as you got your legal stuff sorted out ok for the kids and all that, why worry about it...it's gonna happen anyway so better make sure you have a good time until then...call me shallow, I don't care...

Cant say I have ever considered Death, even to the point that my OH finally persuaded me to draft a will only a year or so ago...

Re: How often do you think about Death?
Just hope it won't be some horrible longwinded thing where I am aware of it all happening...going to sleep one night and not waking up would suit me just fine...
