I think about it all the time. I mean, death can come at any moment. In case it comes before I finish this comment I'll try to hit the post button first.
I have no regrets. No.... "I should have this or that" or "I shouldn't have done this or that" or "if only..." Nope. None of that. Whatever I did or happened was supposed to. And there were many lessons. But now. I'm ready to go. Bags packed. (There's nothing in them, of course.) The end of one thing is always the beginning of something else.
Actually, no one dies. We just change bodies. When the body is damaged beyond repair or just plain wears out we get a new one. The body is a machine, a vehicle. We're inside these "things"...
So don't come around "my death bed" with all those stupid questions, anxieties and fears. Just remind me that we are spirit not matter.
As my father lay dying I was with him. He was unconscious as if in a deep deep sleep and breathing very heavily. His face was tight with anxiety. I read to him from a Vedic text, Sri Isopanishad. It's a book of eighteen mantras describing transcendence. He relaxed and became very, very peaceful. He was still in the deep sleep but he was smiling. Of course I told him I loved him very much and he was the best father ever. I meant it. He was not an ordinary person. He left.
So don't come around my death bed with all that crap. Like a TV interview for a Saturday morning talk show. "What did you do wrong? What could you have done better?" blah blah blah.

Use your time now to answer those questions and address those fears. When death comes be ready.

@jiva34 Thank you very much for inviting me for your invitation.
What this post really reminds me of is that life and death are two sides of a same coin. I strongly believe your idea about transferring our spirit from one body to another when they become worn out. Also, I believe that you accept the spirituality in our life in which most of people don't accept.
Living without any regrets is one of the greatest achievements in our lives
I am thankful for sharing your thoughts on life and death to enlighten us.

I understand the feeling and the pains this has caused to you, it's definitely not easy for those who lost their love ones, this remind me of when I lost dear sister, I was in pains still in pain when it flashes on my mind, but Isaiah chapter 25 verse 8 has really comforted me, there Jehovah promise that and I quote "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it".
According to act 24 verse 15, it gives us hope that we'll see our love one's again they'll be a resurrection.
For we the living know that we'll die one day, we need to use our time on earth to do what's right fighting our imperfection.
I really enjoy your article which has remind me that there's hope for the living despite what we're facing today, Jehovah cares about us and he'll continue to when we hold on to him alone even till death he knows us.

The living know they will die which is natural. Why is this fact ignored. It would be easier to talk, live life the fullest and celebrate we learned, grew and are reasy fir the next life.

A super entry and I agree. That body is just the bag we wear and it's good to rest after gathering all those experiences. Spirits need rest and not the crap talk.
It beats me why the interviewer shows up at our deathbed. He never showed interest at the times we fought. Let him check facebook or Steemit or answer the question why there should be regret. Who made him believe there should be?
@inspiracion you like to answer that person who all of a sudden shows up and needs answers (of course it's not a message for the youth since the youth couldn't care less)?

Aging helps to understand a lot of things. For one thing, I've lived in soooo many places and in soooo many different conditions... While I was in a living situation it seemed that was all there is... But ... there it is...time to move on.. And it all gets left behind... Maybe a dim memory every now and then. Like an old black and white photo. .... And then the new situation seems like it always was and always will be.... until oops, it's time to move on... and on and on.....

I moved a lot as well, there was a period I move every year to a different place. The longest time I lived in one place was 8 years as I was a child (primary school). I always feel like the woman in the film "Chocolate" if the wind turns, blows I hear the whispering and it's time to leave, change, go, do something different.
I'm not sure if it's aging if that's the case I am born very old.
