Death is an elusive concept not fully understood or known until experienced first hand. Although saddened or remorseful from the death of another, but what we understand and learn as the result of our death.
The fear of death is real for many people. Regarding birth, a new life begins. Duration is the continuation of life, however, life cessation or death removes life from sight and touch. Is life gone or merely inaccessible?
The media and religiosity are largely to blame for fear of death. A common practice of ministers and clergyman was putting the fear of God in church goers for preventative measures.
When clergy plays the be good or burn in hell card, we incorporate the fear of God syndrome as our motive for goodness. God's grace does not work this way, it is not how good a person acts it the condition of a person's heart that God recognizes as His children.
I cannot describe death, however, I hope when the time comes I have no regrets
