for me i was brought up with the mentality that if u die, ur the one thats going to suffer. but now that im older and can think for myself, to be honest same as you girls im not afraid of me dying, but im also not afraid for the people thats still alive to be hurt from my death because i dont believe anyone truely loves me more than i love myself, and once i die its over, theres no need for me to worry for the living or what happens to my finances because i no longer exist. i also dont believe in the afterlife. i believe when u die, it's just pitch darkness and you just cease to exist anymore
I've listened to this podcast last night on Spotify but I gotta come here to put down my comment. Firstly, thanks for talking about this topic! I'm not afraid to talk about death at all, I am also open to talk about it anytime and I do let my family and friends know about that so incase if any one feels like they need to talk, they can talk to me about it without being judged or shut down. Since 10 years ago, I've been asking my mum every 2 years about what she wants when she passes, I've told her it would be better if I do things right, correct? We've seen relatives arguing over funeral settings and that is the last thing I would ever want to be dealing with when my own closest passes. I've asked my mum what style she wants, where she wants her ashes to be put, which photo she wants, who are the distance relatives she wants me to inform, who she doesn't want to inform (lol). At first, my mum was quite taboo about talking it, nevertheless I still tried to ask, because I don't want to not know what she wants. After seeing how her friends near her age facing death recently, she has become more open to talk to me about it. She has told me everything she wants and I feel even when it happens at the most unexpected timing (accidents can happen anytime, right?) at least I know what to do. I've also openly told her what I want incase I goes first (hey you never know). But since her memory isn't that good I've also jotted down on a notebook on my wishes incase I pass before her. I'm only in my early 30s but to be honest I've been thinking about death for years, because to me when it is the time, it is. Nowadays even healthy people can get heart attacks out of nowhere. Or car accidents, you just never know when it's coming, probably partially that's why people is afraid to talk about it. Regarding afterlife, I really wish there isn't any. I truly hope I turn into ash and vanish. Living a human life is already tiring, imagine going thru that again in afterlife. Lol. The above is all my personal opinions.
Great job, ladies! I see all three of you do not fear death. I’ve had this conversation with others and from my observations with a lot of people that are heroes when it comes to facing death and what they would do, but they’re not actually facing death. In reality, there are those stages of death where you finally come to accept it, but I guess that’s when you have a lot of time to die. When people are placed in a life or death situation, that’s when you see how they really feel. It’s not real life, but one of the most powerful scenes in movies as an example is the Russian roulette scene in, THE DEER HUNTER. Very good choice of topic and great advice. I’m not your demographics, because I’m in my 60’s, but I saw your clip and took a look. All the best to you! I hit the LIKE button. I dropped a couple of videos on TH-cam myself. Search , D. Loriston Scott, on TH-cam and watch my SQUEAK video for Halloween, it’s not bad and it’s short. Good luck!
Yes, we are all going to die. Didn’t mean to remind you guys of that but it’s on your schedule. 😁 We really shouldn’t be afraid of Death. It’s one of the FEW fair things in life we’ll get to experience. Everybody catches it once! 😅

Thanks for sharing! Great to hear that you've managed to change your mum's perspective and understanding the importance to discuss about it! ❤❤❤
The Farewell on Netflix is a good movie about confronting death!

Maybe if you know what happens afterlife you would live a different life during your living years, such as reducing your bad deeds?
