Through the years my reaction to death has gotten stares, ridicule and pity. In my life time there have been 3 instances where I should have died, they left me with an certain understanding {for lack of a better word} that life is more than what we experience through our physical beings. This is not a testament to an all seeing diety, just a very strong sense of continuance.
I'm not afraid of my death but I am concerned of the manner in which I will die.
My usual response to ones passing is that of wonder and memory...not regret.

I just realized when my grandfather passed that grieving is bullshit.
I mean when I die I'd rather not have a traditional funeral. I'd rather have my friends and family throw a party to celebrate and remember old times.
I can only hope to lead a full happy life like my grandfather did. He had his turn it's mine now.

I would never not have a dog. Playing with a puppy and then teaching it and going for hikes with my dogs.one reason I don't have dogs any more
Instead of mourning the dog I get hyped about what dog I am going to raise next.

That's about it..
My grandfather is 88 and short on time, I think he enjoyed the best time on Earth, I am envious. I would trade 2013 for 1913 any day.
...I only fear one thing, the idiocy of Stupid-Butthole-Alien-God who enjoys inequality of the good and supremacy of the bad. The good people are often on one or both edges of despair and Stupid-Butthole-Alien-God enjoys to watch most of the idiots prosper.
Ever seen the movie, Idiocracy?

...From FuddRuckers, to FuttBuckers, to ButtRuckers, finally to ButtFuckers.. Humanity is on a down-slide and Stupid-Butthole-Alien-God is watching in glee while the world descends into over-population, pollution, and run by sociopaths.

I grieve for my loved ones not because i want to, i just do, i feel sad because of all the experiences we might have had together will now be lost forever. I never get the chance to tell them everything i wanted. I won't get to laugh with them, tell jokes with them, spend time with them. It reminds me of my own impending death, and that the older i live, the more loved ones i will have to watch leave my life forever.
I grieve for the people i was very close to, because i will miss them. It passes more quickly for some, and less quickly for others depending on how close i was with them.
No one knows what happens when you die, find someone who does, and you'll find a liar.

I've never grieved during a death. Sometimes I feel like I am psychopathic or something. Nobody too close to me has died before. I've had close co-workers/friends die, and some loose family. It's more of a shock thing like 'Where did they go?' Now, when everyone else cries, it gets me to tear up too. But I am not hung up on it at all.
I'm sure that if one of my parents or really really close friends died that I would cry my eyes out. I feel as if that would be mostly shock too, as I'd be happy for them for being able to move on past this existence. I mean that in both a 'moving to a different plane of existence' and a 'rot in the ground' scenario. Both seem pretty peaceful to me.
I agree with balzac though, there needs to be a party for my death. I just want everyone to be happy. No sense in grieving over something that I personally, wouldn't grieve over myself. I don't mean this in a depressing manner either.
Hell you don't even have to show up, I'll be dead! Even if I knew you didn't, and I still had a different kind of consciousness that allowed me to know, I'm sure it would surpass angry emotions towards someone who didn't feel like seeing everyone at some guys funeral.
