Masquerade! Paper faces on parade. Masquerade!


Not to be morbid or anything, but how do you see death and how do you take it? For me, I sort of have an ancient Egyptian mentality on death where it is simply another part of life that is better than the one here one Earth and will only become upset over how a person dies, i.e. being brutally murdered or something similar.

Just yesterday morning a friend of mine passed away suddenly in his home in Texas. It was sudden and definitely not expected. I do not have all of the details, but to me his death seems very, very strange. He had health problems, yes, but none of them were terminal. From what I am getting from how others are acting, there was no reason for him to die however he did. He was way too young being in his thirties and to me his untimely death is the work of evil forces rather than of good. The online Repo! and Sarah Brightman communities are mourning his death and celebrating his life, members coming together (in each on separately) after many people being separated due to life and everything in between; he was well known in both and I was one of the lucky few from both of them to not only meet him, but to be able to talk with him online when the opportunities arrived. He sent me a Sarah Brightman poster from her tour back in 2008 after acquiring a few from one of the venues to give to a couple of to his close friends, one of them being me.

I will truly miss him here on Earth, but at the same time I know he is still out there somewhere in heaven no longer suffering and in a place where good is dominate above everything else. heart I did not cry when I heard about his death, though my heart did sink because of the non-expectancy of the whole thing. I know there will be a small mourning time at my Repo! cast rehearsal later on because most of us knew him.

I'm sorry about your friend, personally I think the people who are left behind suffer more than the person that died.
I'm agnostic, so I believe not necessarily that we go to heaven but live in other forms. Decaying corpse feeds bugs and fertilize flowers and in that way live on. Energy and all that.

Stay strong. Love you hon.

My boyfriends mother died unexpected and we think it is a terrible lose, but in a sense its also a blessing because they are learning to cook and do their cleaning etc. I always believe everything happens for a reason.

I've known a lot of people that have died. A lot that died very young too (I lost one of my closest friends during high school). I get very sad when I lose someone close to me but I now have a greater appreciation for life and how unexpected it is.

I'm not a religious person by any means, but I feel like people have a mission in life and once they complete that mission (which they don't know what their mission is) they will pass on. And I also think that there is something after life. I have had one very near death experience (a car accident) and while it was happening I SWEAR that I was sitting on a hill talking to my dear departed friend (whom had passed three years before). I was asking him if I was dead, because why else would I be talking to him? He told me that I wasn't but that he was watching out for me and that he loved me. The next thing I remember was sitting in my seat and the accident was over.

I know that there is nothing that can stop death and that it is a part of life. When someone dies we should celebrate the person that we knew and loved and be happy for them because they have moved on.

My grandpa recently passed away due to cancer, I didn't really know him very well. However, I'm glad he is in a better place now. A place without daily pain.

I think......... That when you die, it's all just one big dream. Things that would usually happen in a dream start happening, and before you know it, you wake up in a new body and mind (reincarnation).

I'm sorry to hear about your losses.

I haven't lost anyone lately, but probably will soon. My grandma has cancer and since she is 92 and the cancer has spread already, there is nothing that can be done about it sad

I have no idea what will happen after you die. I just try to live my life the best I can and I'll just have to wait and see what will happen after that.

I always get the feeling that dying is like going to sleep, but never waking up again. So you'd just drift off into a deep sleep (I'd like to hope it was that peaceful for most cases).
