Tough subject to discuss. Agree with Fotze about the having kids thing. Before my daughter was born I couldn't have cared less if I died, let alone let it keep me up at night. But afterwards these things tend to weigh on you.

As a card carrying Agnostic it isn't what may happen to me or my soul or whatever you want to call it after I die that bothers me. By the time I know it'll be too late to tell anyone. What gets to me is what happens to my daughter and family.

Did I leave her enough money? Had I been a good father and helped her become a better person? How will she cope? Will it mess with her emotionally? Is she where she really needs to be in life? These are the things that vex me.

Only reason they do is I went through that. I basically watched my father die when I was 7 years old, and it screwed me up something good. Just don't wish that on her.

That said, for death regarding myself, meh. Can't really worry about the inevitable, or at least I try not to. Good luck to the OP, hope some of the responses people have given help you out.
