What Happens When We Die?

The day that I found out I was having my first child, I thought about death!

Dying terrifies me, and the thought of leaving my kids behind when they need me the most keeps me up at night. I know we all have an expiration date, but I wish there were something I could do to avoid mine.

Not much scares me. The boogie man never phased me; the noises I hear in the dark are merely that, just noises, but the thought of death terrifies me.

The other day, I was watching short clips from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and he was interviewing Keanu Reeves. I find both of them fascinating, so I wasn’t surprised when the segment became a little serious.

Stephen asked Keanu, “What happens when we die”?

Keanu replied, “I know the ones who love us will miss us.”

I love life so much

On my bad days, I love you

On my good days, I love you

On the days I feel hurt, I love you

On the days I feel powerful, I love you

And on the days I’m no longer here, I’ll miss you

But until then, I will praise you all the days of my life

At times, life can be challenging to navigate through, but if you desire to find a way, then you will. And during those trying times that damn near make it impossible for you to get through, lean on someone that loves you. Their love will make you feel strong enough to power through any situation, even if you know there is no way you can.

I hope that everyone reading this finds joy in life and lives loud for the ones who love you and for your number one fan…YOU

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  3. You’re right, love conquers all and there is this one person who loves us so much and loving them back simply means never fearing anything ever, not even death. But of course there’s that human side of us that we sometimes have to convince of that fact first 🙂.

  5. A heartfelt share – thank you Coach B. 💗 Your share is also relatable for me; I instantly became protective of my own life the moment I learned I was pregnant. Being there for my baby became my highest priority. 💕

  7. What a beautiful message, Bella, in general and especially to your family!

    I guess many people are afraid of death. I am mostly afraid that I might have to suffer through a lot of pain before I go. Otherwise I believe that death is not the end of anything, but a transition to a different state of being.

  11. Theres diffrent ways to look at it, I’ve had different thoughts on it ober the years. Im not necessarily afraid of it for my self but more for my wife and those around me. As for actually dieing, ibe done it once and they brought me back it was back during an operation when my first child was being born shortly after. (Yeah i was one of those instances of me having my appendix out and my wife at the time having the baby) at the time i wasnt a christian, so it was like I was mostly alone and floating above everyone in the room. I did get scared during another instance, not for so much but for my wife when I thought i was having a heart attack a few years ago. Seeing the look of fear on her face was what did it for me, i was mostly at peace with it myself but leaving her behind was not ok with me.
