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.

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.

It sounds as if a man on his deathbed wants to live no matter how bad it is although I know one fried didn't her body had given up on her when she was still young. She apologized to me for dying because she no longer could stay alive. The always said it was not possible to die because of birthdays, Christmas, Eastern and so on.
Thank you for sharing the story of your aunt. It feels as if she knew how to manage also if it came to money and didn't want to be a burden to others. I am happy with this example because she is the proof that no matter the circumstances it is possible to prepare for a rainy day.
I know I am a bit late but I hope you had a great Christmas.

She couldn't undertake something but was still thinking otherwise she would not have asked you for the day and time and next turned to the icon and asked God for one more day. I wonder why.
Она не могла что-то предпринять, но все еще размышляла, иначе не стала бы спрашивать у вас день и время, а затем повернулась к иконе и попросила у Бога еще один день. Интересно, почему?

I will try to answer some of your questions. I apologize if my answer later did not match what you expected.
If this is my last moment. The thing I regret most is that I have not been able to bring my mother and family to Mecca to perform the Hajj, which is the fifth pillar of Islam. You may be asking, why mom? Why don't I invite my dad too? This is because my father passed away fourteen years ago.
Sometimes I care about people's opinions, but sometimes I don't care about people's opinions. I care about the opinions of my mother, family and best friends. I don't care about other people's opinions because they contribute nothing in my life.
I am a child born to parents who had strict discipline. Since I was little, I have been accustomed to following my parents' orders even though I didn't like it. I thought that if I followed their commands, my parents would be happy.
If I could go back twenty years, I would want to have my freedom. Perhaps right now, I would be in another country, engaging in social activities.
I want to spend my last moments with my mother, family, and loved ones.
As I think back, it turns out that I have only bought things for everyone, such as medicine for my mother, groceries for the family, paying utility bills, gas, and so on.
I don't know who might visit me in my final moments. I just think, maybe they don’t know that I am about to pass away. Why should they visit me? Why should I blame them? Why should I think negatively about them in my last moments? Shouldn’t I be increasing my worship since I am going to meet God?
I don’t know what they will feel once I’m gone. But all this time, when I have been far away, I’ve seen them cry, and they’ve said they miss me. I just hope I can remain in their hearts forever.

Once we left there might be mixed feelings? Some will remember us, most likely "strangers" like I do with one lady who spoke to me on the streets, an unknown elderly sister I met as I picked up her cats with the animal ambulance as she had to be hospitalized. I still remember her even emptied her house as she died in hospital though we were not related.
Some people we remember even though they never had their freedom.
It's sad how we try so hard to be accepted and liked while ending up with the kniwledge we do not like ourselves. The only person we live with 24/7
I tajes strength to continue and strength to leave everything behind.
A good Sunday/start of the week

Am I dead yet? I can't believe my eyes. All of you guys gathered around my bed? How annoying. Where's mom? She would never allow you in the house and where's my dog? What is it you want, do I know you? Noone of you cared while I was fit and alive, btw not when I felt sick either. You say got a few last-minute questions to answer for the youth? What a joke as if they ever listen. Forget it. Sounds as if it's more about you. I'm not going to give you a hand putting your conscious asleep while I am the one dying here and get your arse of my bed. How about leaving? Find yourself a priest or shrink. It won't be for free though and don't forget to open the window before you leave. You all stink and hey, keep your hands off my stuff! I rather set it on fire than give you greedy vultures something. BTW don't you have a job you all are here during the day?
Ah, there you are, good dog: attack!
What do you say regrets, me? Oh, you mean you, sorry mate, it's too late. You can take my place in the bed.

Very well: first of all, deathbed only comes if I don't kick the bucket suddenly (and hopefully, prepared). In any way, I can seriously and shortly comment, but also trying to be funny:
1)the serious way (and here I'm serious): saying my final prayer, connecting to Jesus
2)the funny departure: I'm deeply worried about my dear cute reborn dolls collection😂. What will become of them when I'll definitely kick the bucket? I don't trust at all my in-laws grandchildren and great grandchildren. They'll take for granted they are simple dolls to play with and not a collection to take a big care of. These children won't show the least respect toward such cute reborn dolls and will let them become dirty and damaged. Quick...quick...I must think very quickly to save my doll collection. What to do? Yes, now I remember: I studied law to get my first degree, so I must know there is only a solution. In my deathbed, I call a notaire. He must rush, as I can't risk to kick the bucket before having saved my reborn dolls collection😂. Yes, I know the rush is expensive, but I promise to the notaire I'll leave to him all my steem power. I won't need any SP any more, once deceased. As the notaire comes to my deathbed, he words my last will: all the reborn dolls of my collection must be buried with me. OK, OK, I know: in such a case I'll need a bigger coffin, as there must be the space for all the collection: very well, I'll sell my TRON altcoins to purchase a coffin big enough...😂
Ps.: my first reborn doll, purchased in my former country in 2014, origin Spain. Photo taken with my Moto G10

Ooooh, you have a house filled with babies! How come you never told that before they are cool but sooo expensive. Do you have a real crib as well? I remember as the first babies were born LOL my mother in law bought some kind of reborn baby for the eldest. She said it had a very cute face, oh my was that doll ugly. I remember I was in Barcelona and looked at those dolls as well but I found them ugly. Anyway, my child could stop crying every time I showed the doll so I stowed it away tried a few times and in the end... I believe it ended up in the dumpster.
How many do you have? I agree it's a big worry what will happen to them. Do your really need a bigger coffin? You can cover yourself with babies.

Very well, I have in all 3 reborn newborn dolls (I have a fourth newborn doll in my collection and it isn't a reborn one, but I find it so cute I put it together with the collection. No, no cribs. They sleep in my bed😂😂😂😂. Very well, the 3 reborn weren't cheap, but not so expensive in any way. I took the opportunity of Black Friday, instalments and in any way they aren't 100% reborn or their price would have been very much higher. But I think they are worth the purchase, as I'm happy to see them every day, to take care of😂😂😂😂. Very well, I think I'll donate them to a Dolls Museum in my departure😂😂😂😂.
Ps.: my avatar here and there is my second reborn doll😂😂😂😂

Instead of babies I have the cats. I once saw a lady on a market with awesome babies not like the ones you see here https://www.rebornbabyshop.nl/collections/alles?view=36
I had a look but my baby isn't between is. Seems these are all American babies so I stick with the Cheshire cats
A Doll's museum it is. I believe one day that will be awesome. Dolls changed a lot I still see the one with the porcelain head my mother had. Back then children played carefully look at them now.
BTW my daughter has a Monster High doll collection but these dolls became very cheap although the prize is high.

Death is a certainty. As it is said, all living things will experience death. But we know that death is not the end of everything. There is a journey that must be taken both for those left behind with sadness and also for those who die. Death can be a gateway to another life.
Parents always give advice so that in our lives we can always be good so that later when we die we will not be forgotten just like that. Like the proverb the day of death leaves its stripes, an elephant dies leaving its ivory and a human dies leaving a good name.
To create good memories, of course we know that there is always a struggle to make us well accepted by all communities. Although, of course not everyone will like us. But before we die we still need to live a good life without being selfish so that anyone will be happy when we come and will be sad when we are not there. So that when we die we will be made into a story about goodness during life.

On my deathbed...
I am not filled with regret at the moment because it will only make my case worst, it will make me bitter as I leave. And the thought would concentrate on the things I did wrong rather than the things I did right. I would rather focus on the things I did right than the things I did wrong at the moment, so I can be happy in this last moment.
I have never really cared about what people think of me, I did not live my life to please others because they have their life and I have mine. I make my own choices whether right or wrong, and give less thought to what others might think.
If I had the opportunity to change anything in my life or go back 20 years, I still would not take the offer. I love my life and all the choices I made, the people in my life and the relationships I kept, its lovely. So, I would not want to tamper with such wonderful memories I have kept.
Wow, spending time with family is what I can think of right now. These memories are precious and priceless.
My last purchases were worth the spend; surprise gifts for my family, some gadgets, home appliances, helping tools, and some others I cannot remember.
Family and friends have been around for a while now, and they are quite hopeful I will pull through. Let's hope they are right.
I think I will be remembered in a positive way because I have been a positive influence in the life of quite a lot of people. I cannot estimate the number of years my memory will last with them but it'll be a while. But you know humans, they tend to move on after a while.
Altogether, I think I have lived a good life and I am happy and proud of myself.
Thank you for your time...

If there's no regret what case could there be let alone let regret make it worse and why should it make you feel more bitter, do you have time for bitterness if you are dying or in pain or see an angle reaching out for you?
You are there on that bed and who will show up and who will be the one questioning, looking for answers or will no one do such a thing which is possible as well.
For sure your family will be happy with the gifts you leave behind, a good way to remember and cherish the thoughts of you at those moments they find it hard to move on.

Am I going to die. Am going to miss everyone. After all this years I survived finally it my turn to raise untill the Creator call a call. To my creator, I know you'll remember me. Am not afraid to die. Am only afraid of one thing. Will I see my love one again?
He will call and I will answer, because there's hope for me, hope for the dead, stop crying there's a hope for me, am just going to sleep, and I will wake up one day. Don't worry about the dead, because there's a hope for mankind to live again. When I die, I wouldn't be there again for you, I cannot see or touch you. I can't even remember where I have existed. Am dead and gone. Take care of yourself.

You can also show it in Art & Artists if you like @golden-rain since this is art too.
You can tell a bit about your love for music, why DJ (any examples Tiësto or Gigi d'A or no one which is totally fine). You can share 2 or 3 links if you like. It's up to you.
Btw, I just watched the video 3 more times. I see more (better) the TikTok one and I wonder if it already goes wrong (music/video) at the start where the christmas tree is although I don't see the 'missing' coffee cup...
Definitely it goes "wrong" later on where the black and red cat show earlier. Did you check again with your phone? I will ask someone with a pc to look at it.

On that lonely bed—the bills on my head, the bitterness in the cloud, staring at me as I'm about to walk out of the body. Tears squizzing it way into my eyes, my lips and round my shaded cheeks. My head banging heavily as though I'm not gonna see tomorrow. I watched and cry, but no help comes!
I see my face crying hardly, noises on the floor. So sad! Elements are dancing! Some are singing to the god of music. I'm just dribbled within the timeframe.
My bro would always be good. His love for me inspite of my hardness would always be juicy. Look the way he pampers me, fiddle me and cuddle me. He even lay a wrapper on my back so I won't feel the mosquito bite. I could see life between death that moment, sucking it way nearer and nearer. A man stands beside my broke body, they call him JESUS. They said: He is the Saviour of the whole world. I don't want to believe. My dear, when you finally find your way into this dust, you don't have a choice. The only one you have is just to face the clime. I purely faced part of this—the sudden blow and festive yellowish fever. My body grow hotter than it were. I could barely feed thrice a day. Only drank tea and ate bread sometimes Indomie noodles. This is not me. My me would swallow Fufu and Soup. That's African mans food. We don't eat those junks....
I find myself wrapped in a blouse for four complete days. Life wasn't friendly with me. I regretted why I had partnered with street stressers. I would've manage the site of harmony I was managing until I move into a new site. So I faced the yellow fever alone in that muddy room, no breeze to blow down some debting-smells.
But Today! I'm standing in the gab. Big gab just to say, I've been shattered with marbles. And today I'm loosened. I can now do what extraordinary people do. I took some dosage: herbal leafs, roots and mixture. I regain myself. And today I'm part of the testifiers.
I invite @bossj23, @basil20 and @ngoenyi to participate

If you have no ideas what to write about try the daily prompt or a line out of the news. There's always something we have thoughts about. If you just time, like the idea is of freewriting and setting a timer, you might create a great story or at least have the draft for something else.

I agree that we always have ideas & thoughts and we can write about. But, sometimes we get busy. I mean busy physically and mentally. So, we just find it hard to post all the time. Even when we have ideas.

Who says your entire life will flash by? Did you die before and remember it clearly? It all depends on how you die and what your deathbed looks like.
If you are in bed for several years barely alive I doubt you still see flashes of you life. If you cry it out of pain you have better things to do as well as looking calmly back at your life and answering questions and why should you do that? Why answer someone who has had plenty of time to ask? Why suddenly now? It all doesn't sound as if that person came to comfort you which should be the case if showing up at someone's deathbed. If that visitor can't do that it's better to stay away. Btw, this is part of an out-of-the-box contest so it might be good to read it including the post it refers to. Creativity and imagination is part of it.
I wonder: what if your dad doesn't like to meet you? Can you accept that? Can be he forgotten you a long time ago or started a new life in another dimension or is reborn.
Your children will not be at your deathbed?
Heaven, is a place on earth you can create. I'm sorry to hear you feel afraid. Death is as natural as birth.

So if your father doesn't recognize you or doesn't want to meet you because he continues his life you will force him and show no respect? The circle of life is birth...life experience ... death... What we should except is that we are not the centre of the world no matter how much we want that. It's the same with your children. If they no longer want to see you and have you around you have to accept that as well. It is a natural thing to grow up and go your own way and make the best out of it without living in the past. Don't let this eat you. There's so much to see and experience.
I wish you all the best.

I hope that if he shows himself you can recognize him but if not remember that he lives in you and who knows if you watch in the mirror will see him.

I am not sure if you will hear what you had in mind. The idea is to come up with something different, think out of the box, freewrite or who knows even be honest. One should during those last minutes one is alive and let go of the pleasing, faking, don't you think so?

To me it's not necessary that people write what first came to their minds as much as reconsider priorities maybe in life. I try to write something that people will think about or consider a while after they read it. But, I got the idea.

This is an out-of-the-box contest so here is the place where the answers should be creative, thinking differently is asked. That is the point of the out-of-the-box contest. Who knows you find earlier entries.
There's no need to think deeply, life is serious enough and you won't make it if you don't learn how to laugh! Irony, and sarcasm is a big help to conquer life.
The journey of life is one we start, do and end alone. With some luc,k we meet companions on the way

I couldn’t agree more about what you said: “ The journey of life is one we start, do and end alone. With some luck we meet companions on the way”
I’m still trying to learn more about contests and content on Steemit so thanks for letting me know. I’ll truly work on “trying to laugh” more often, because I have a tendency of taking things too seriously as you mentioned, you’re right about that

What a sad contest. Unfortunately, I have been present during several people’s passing, and it will be hard for me to write about it with humor. It's so hard that I won’t even try.
My grandmother Valentina, when she was dying, asked me: "Bogdan, what was all this for? I don’t understand, what was all this for..."
By "all this," she meant her entire life. I understood her point well, because a person goes through the stages of life: childhood, learning, marriage, raising children, decades of struggle for a better life... but then, in the face of death (especially for atheists), they can't seem to find meaning in everything that happened. Everything is temporary — both failures and victories, and before death, everything becomes equally devalued, unless one believes in the continuation of life after death.
I can add that after my grandmother, there are me and two other grandchildren left. And after us, perhaps there will be some literary works, music, or artworks. We must strive to create good art, so that it may be interesting to others both now and after our death.

The contest is not about writing about the deathbed but about answering the questions asked in the post (see link).
My grandmother never spoke for real about her life. The war, being in the Japanese concentration camp, she suffered a lot also during her childhood and was high educated. She became older than most of her children, all died in the same year (2 months) 2 generations gone.
I asked her if there was anything she wanted to do or someone she liked to meet. She said she was fine.
She mainly lived to raise the children, sacrificed herself in a way that is more than anyone ever should. No one was grateful to her and she spoke with me which my aunt hated.
Are there grandchildren left or great grandchildren? Can be but they are broken souls, spread over the globe, unable to start a new life.
I don't feel the need to leave something behind because just like @jiva34 says I believe the soul lives forever.
Does human life has a meaning other than the meaning of life of animals and plants?
Thank you for sharing your thought and experiences with death. It's part of life and from the day we are born it's countdown till the moment we say goodbye and leave the body behind.

Question asked by the sages.....
"Does human life has a meaning other than the meaning of life of animals and plants?"
One thing that differentiates humans from other life forms.... is introspective ability....
"...from the day we are born it's countdown till the moment we say goodbye and leave the body behind."
Some truths are undeniable........

Don't worry about it. It's just I never thought of writing about a prompt like this one. It«s working in the back of my mind and I will eventually publish someting based on it. Off contest. It really doesn't matter that I get any prizes. I just loved the idea.
