I see life as having many "possible" deaths, and one "definite" death. You can prevent the "possible" deaths but the "definite" death is impossible to completely allude. If you attempt to allude the time of your end, and succeed, death will continue to knock in varied ways until it wins. So you can only postpone it, but it will eventually win. I've seen this many times and the more that you somehow escape it, the more difficult it is to escape the next. Usually it starts off with a simple, kind death, something like an injury or illness, then it ends in a car crash or other "accident" that is unavoidable. If you avoid the first, second, or third, it is time to do what you need done (do what you would otherwise regret not doing) and then just accept it.
My uncle encounter 3 possible deaths, that he avoided in one year's time, until he was finally hit by a train (before every rail/street intersection was forced to have warning lights) and he died instantly. He knew what was happening, and he spoke to his loved ones and let them know he loved them before death finally won.
My husband's grandfather was brutally attacked and nearly died, but didn't. He feared death, but he didn't take the opportunity to do those things. Months later, his brain hemorrhaged and every organ in his body began to fail one by one, until he died slow and painfully. His will to live was so strong, that the doctor said he had never seen someone last so long, with the body shutting down as it was, once the respirator was removed. He lasted nearly an hour.
I could keep going with examples. Ones magickly, medically, and luckily avoided, until finally death overcame.
Death should not be feared. It should be accepted once it has shown itself, especially if it has given you a second chance, you should take it to do what you would otherwise regret not doing. Sometimes in doing so, death gives you a little more of an extension. But it will eventually win. We aren't meant to live forever and honestly, I wouldn't want to.
My grandmother fought two health problems and had 3 heart attacks, and survived it all. She took that "borrowed time" to enjoy her family and life, and died peacefully in her sleep with her newspaper on her lap. She was a strong and wise woman who accepted that her time was near, and I think death looked kindly on her. I couldn't have wished for a better way for her to pass on. She is my role model.
