^ Thank you so much Skybird. I will remember some of your advise when I get those thought about death and how I may die.

This thread was not just about me, even thou I have given my expression I have had about this and some of my worries.

It was also about the thought about death and afterlife people may have when they have reached a certain age.

As mentioned before I can't be the only one who have had these thoughts which have become more present now that I have passed 50(I'm 53)then I was 27 years old.

Edit I forgot this in your lastest response

"
I think we modern people in the West have a very pathological relation to death, and it does not serve us well, nor is there dignity in it. We run away and pretend to be young, and behave like younger people - that we are no more since long. That is very immature, imo, and is a life driven by fear, fear of death and fear to miss something. But our life will never be complete, and there will always be a plethora of things that we miss and will not finish. One wave shows up and disappears, or it simply turns into another wave that it meets, opens up in it, or the ocean just flattens out for a moment

I'm as mentioned above, 53, I have no intention to get or try to get younger, to avoid death or run away from it.
