I do... Not knowing if my consciousness will end or if it will go somewhere is frightening, where would it go? I feel the same for all of my loved ones.

That's something I've always been wondering as well. Maybe it just gets turned off, just like when you unplug the power cable from a working machine.
It sometimes makes me sad thinking about it, we're trying to develop and use our thinking skills our whole lives only to end up slowly losing some of them at first and then completely having our mind shut down. Oh well.
Nostalgia said:I personally don't. After coming to the realisation that everyone will eventually die anyway, in combination with my terrible state of my life, I have had alot of time to think about the meaning of life and death in much depth and I've come to the conclusion that I don't fear death in the slightest.
At the moment in time, I belive if there was such a thing as heaven or the afterlife, then I would be much better off there then I am right now. And as overly dramatic and suicidal that sounds I geninuely think that at this current state of mind. As a agnostic I'm undecided and unsure to what will happen when I die, I quite frankly don't give religion much thought at all, I do however have one belive and that is reincarnation. I belive that no matter how bad your life is currently, one day you will be reborn a different person in a different life, hopefully a life filled with peace and happiness because every person deserves a good life.
I'm sure the people who lead more fulfilling and eventful lives than me may have a different view. I suspect people who have great lives may fear death because they don't want to leave their great lives to end. As I don't have much in life nor do I expect much out of life, life isn't that important to me. And I don't think about or worry for, the people who would miss me if I was gone because there isn't many people who know me these days, as most people I used to know have forgotten about me and they have moved on with their lives.
I would be interested to hear other people's views on this subject.
