Lonesome Death

Seems a lot of people are petrified of dying alone. Some are scared that they won't find a perfect partner; so they spend the rest of their lives having to endure loneliness. Others maybe are divorcees who gave up on the whole idea of new beginnings, and now all they're dedicated to is raising the children. Some have even substituted the lack of human company with pets, … A week after they die, they're found with their faces half eaten by their cats! This one I find particularly amusing.
To die alone… all I can think of is this emptiness. What are the chances that one would die alone? … How isolated would one be? What did they reject, or what did they embrace to be cut off from everything? Seems it doesn't really matter, as the common consequence leaves you with the same thought before you die.

Oh the cat thing did happen i heard about it too. You know sometimes even among your family and friends you feel alone, we were born on this earth alone and i guess when our time comes we would go alone, after all death is only a doorway into another life where loved ones are already there waiting for us.

You know it's funny, but I always felt lonelier in the crowd than when I'm actually alone. Pardon the blunt exameple, but you would feel more starved when you have food in front of you and you can't reach it, you know? ...that's the same with people, when you're surrounded by them and still no one seems to understand you. It's Hell!
The idea that someone is waiting for us after death is pretty "Wuthering Heights" romantic, if you ask me. I don't believe in this, unfortunately, I see nothing after death. Just eternal void. I don't want to get into religion stuff, cos I don't believe in that either, but.. I guess it's sad, to see that your life is actually spent alone and the end is not comforting either *sigh*
