What are you most afraid of in this world?
What's the scariest thing you can imagine? |
|

Being caught in a fire that I can't escape.

My answer is the same for both questions I believe....
The worst thing imaginable to me and the thing I am most afraid of is not dying itself...but dying all alone. It's something I think about quite a lot since my hysterectomy and my 2nd divorce. I have no kids and as of right now no significant other that I can count on to be there with me at the end. Odds are very good that I will survive most everyone in my family, with the exception of my nieces and any children they have. Very frightening to think about being all alone in the last days of my life.

Took the words right out of my fingers... I live in a town that is 3000 miles away from my nearest family member. If something happens to me, I wonder who will tell them I'm gone... |

Being trapped by fire, suffocating, drowning, falling from a cliff (I do a lot of hiking/climbing). I will avoid being overly morbid. Let's just say anything that would include a prolonged, painful death.
I think a lot of people will say "being alone when I'm older”. I don't have that fear. Having kids or being a part of a family will not guarantee they will be around when I am older. I keep a close knit group of friends around me and I learned to be independent. I am not needy or worried about being alone. My parents passed away in 2005 and I am the last of the last. My friends are my family. I chose them which makes them more endeared to me. Life is good!

But you have your son right? He will be there when you grow old, or at least I imagine everyone likes to think their kids will be there for them when they grow old? I know I will be there for my mom...she will never be alone as long as I am able to be with her. |

I know I will be there for my mom...she will never be alone as long as I am able to be with her. Thinking that anyone, a child or otherwise, will be around for another person is rather naive. It's unfortunate, but family abandons family everyday - even elder abuse by children. As I said in my post - we can't choose our family but we can choose our friends. Family is not always the best for our well being. Sad to think about ....

But, I'm sure my Mom hoped the same thing. Life has a way of taking you places you never expected to go... |

What are you most afraid of in this world? What's the scariest thing you can imagine? Drowning. I don't want to be stuck with water pouring in and I have no escape. When I go, I pray that it is fast. |

Family is not always the best for our well being. Well naive though it may be, I would rather count on my family to be there for me than anyone else in my life. I am truly sorry for those that have not had the benefit of a supportive, loving family. It all boils down to each individual person and how they were raised and the experiences they lived. In my experiences, friends are fickle and scatter like the wind. At the end of the day, it's family that has always been there for me and that I know I can count on. More importantly...they know that I will always be there for them. Luckily for me...even though I was not given the opportunity to, I would CHOOSE them...ANYDAY! |

The worst thing imaginable is someone hurting one of my children. Right now the scariest thing for me personally is facing my weaknesses and learning to overcome them.
Vulnerability is not something I am used to but something I must be to grow. But we must face our fears so we shall see.

What are you most afraid of in this world? What's the scariest thing you can imagine? Immortality! 
Seriously...success would be the answer for question one. For question two...burying my child, though both work equally well for either. Great questions Plastic.

Vulnerability is a very attractive quality in the right situations... Just have to be careful who you reveal it to.

The death of either of my sons would be the worst thing that I can think of that could happen to me. Anything else would be small in comparison.

Well don't have to worry about that for my kids and family all know I do not want to be keep alive when it is my time let me go naturally..... But..........actually my greatest fear would be if something happen to my kids or granddaughter first........I don't want to go through that hurt at all......... |

What are you most afraid of in this world? What's the scariest thing you can imagine? I've always been free of fear. Nothing scares me anymore, typically everything is just expected to occur...experience is a bastard like that. |
