One factor....your religious beliefs.

For complete knowhow, read Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. She was the expert. Don’t know if she’s still living, I’ll have to look her up!

Searching within myself for answers and clearing obsticles to my progress opened my awareness to the answers now Known to me within myself. I am alive and I know who I have been, where I have been and all that I have done long before time has been measured. That does not make me "special" or "gifted" because there are costs and agreements that limit all of us to the world of our day and age here. I basically observe and report, solicit , and do all that I am asked to do like cut the grass, and cook dinner. Like I said...it's no big deal. When it comes to death and dying...I don't fear anything and I'm certain that I will survive my bodies eventual collapse in total failure. I know there are folk who think they are bodies...Surprise!!! Applause! Congrats and here's to.....

What and who i leave behind,and what awaits me in the afterlife,whether i have a slow lingering painful death,and probably a few more things if i was to think real hard on it,but for now i am still alive,and as the bible say's,let the dead worry about the dead,and let the living worry about the living,,that sounds pretty good to me..>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

A healthy young person most likely feels that death and dying are a long way into the future.  A sickly and/or elderly person may be looking forward to the end of life as a release from pain and/or illness.   A person who has Alzheimer's or Dementia may not be able to consistently provide rational thought about death and dying. 

Certainly one's faith, or lack of, plays a huge part in response to your question.  Some people want to live many more years to accomplish goals/bucket lists.  Personally, I hope to dance and enjoy my 100th birthday. 

As many as you ask, each response will be unique.
