Death and Dying

My ideas on death is that there is no afterlife and once you die its over. I do agree with Emily Dickinson's poem I Heard a Fly Buzz When Died that most people will probably die alone although I do agree that someone should spend their last moments with family even though it is likely it won't happen. I don't think anyone should suffer for a long time before dying. I think that the most comfortable way to die would be in your sleep so that way you can die as peacefully as possible and not be aware you are dying. People can die at any time or at any age. It's depressing to think about death, because for most people they wouldn't be ready to die because they would of still had much left to do and they didn't get to do it. I think people should do everything they can to accomplish their life's dreams before they die, so they don't die with worry about not having done everything they wanted to. I feel that funerals are done to comfort the grieving family not the dead person.
