Is There Any Hope?

I have always been absolutely grateful for everything I've ever gotten. I have dealt with a lot of things in my life, and I still don't think I have it bad at all. Sometimes when things happen to me I don't understand why, and the question "why?" haunts me for a long time.

Lately I have been watching a lot of news, seeing all the bad things that have happened to innocent, wonderful people: young girls getting raped, 9/11, friends dying, and war. I have a hard time excepting the fact that people die. I think that everyone should live long lives.

Anyway, my problem is the thought of dying has been a fear to me all my life, but recently it has been haunting me. I can't sleep at night. I'm useless. I keep on thinking about how throughout life we lose everything we gain. A lot of my friends and people are telling me to just start thinking about something else.

It's not that easy. I fear a lot of things. A lot of people tell me, "When it's your time, it's your time." I don't believe that at all because I don't think it was the people on 9/11's time or people that kill themselves.

Any advice?

Well nothing is wrong with you fearing death, I fear it teribbly, once I was so damn scared when I thought of it. I am scared of it but don't think about it so much but wish I did because it reminds me of what I'm really doing with my life, and if I've actually been a good person, and if I'm about to commit a sin to think twice because I'll be punished when I die. Death to me is a scary thought, its probably the worst of my fears and God because he has the power in his hands and he can do anything.
