The pain you feel when you die, it happen only in your brain. We are really underestimating the power of our brain.
Can't remember where I read a study that when you laugh, your brain is generating more cells then when you fear of something. And that make me think: people are more sick when they fear something, or they pass through a stressful period.
Stress and fear is a real danger. Just try to limit those in your mind and you will be OK.
