I don't think people actually fear death itself as much as the circumstances surrounding it.
I personally want to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather,
not screaming and yelling, like the other people with him in the car he was driving. :=)
Dear Eileen ,, This poem really hits home for me.. Many of us have suffered great personal losses . Grief and sorrow can plunge a person into the depths of dispair and anguish. Time combined with faith have a way of helping us over come the feelings and move forward. A GREAT SHARING...........M
Much gratitude for the Sunday evening poem-sermon. The last two lines alone form a resounding response to doubts some may entertain about time and energy spent cultivating "gifts of the spirit."
Beautiful write Eileen...one I can so relate to...but I know too, that where we go, is what we spend a lifetime on earthing seeking...Fine work dear poet ! ..
I can say that is true and you speak as plain as an "old Indian"

Losing a loved one is difficult and your right we do learn ways to deal with it no matter what we believe; simply because it will happen again, and to us at some point. I have several close friends that are going through this experience right now. I spend a lot of time in nature at the moment to balance the effect of their pain and my own from losing my father recently. Your poem captures this quite well.

Telin' it exactly the way it is, Eileen, my friend . . . This seems to be a day of cleansing ourselves . . .
We must learn to lean on the Lord, and learn not to fear death. Death is scary, but that is natural. However, if you have the Lord in your life (as we do), we shouldn't have anything to fear! Very good message in this one, Eileen; very well done! BRAVA!

I don't fear death. I just fear the pain--
