I wouldn't really say rarely, but it's less than once a week. It's probably less than once a month, too. It used to seriously scare me as a child, and it's still freaky but not as bad. So I try not to think about it too much, but the thought pops up from time to time.

Maybe not every day, but just about. Certainly more often than once a week.

I believe that you can't really live life to its fullest until you come to terms with your own mortality. I think it is best to do this as early in life as possible. That's why whenever the topic comes up when I'm with my nieces and nephew, I always remind them that "We're ALL going to die!"

At least once a day, but not in detail...and not about my death...I just consider death in itself.

Rarely. It's not something I think about unless someone else brings it up.

At least once a day. I wonder if that's strange.

Probably once a week or so. A lot less than I used to.

in any context? At least once per day, I'm sure it comes to mind. My own death? Pretty rarely.

Occasionally I find myself wondering about how it would be when my time comes. But no way do I let it overshadow my everyday living. As long as I'm alive and well, I'm gonna take advantage of it and try to get the most out of it.  * smile *

Not too often. When I think about death I'm thinking about my daughter dying and how I would not be able to deal with that.
I never think about myself dying.

Every couple of weeks I might flash on the thought. It's not a concern of any grand significance though, since I'm fairly sure I will continue on indefinitely in one form or another. Lately I've been designing new retirement communities in hopes that that whole paradigm will change by the time I'm ready to retire. I've had a range of mystical dying experiences already. Only when other people visit does the concept of death as some critical finality enter my life surroundings.

I'm sure they find that very comforting!

My own death, rarely... other people's or my pets, more often but still fairly rare

I think of death when someone dies or if someone is doing something that could cause death. Either way it is very rarely.

A little more lately, but still rarely. I try not to think about it - too depressing.

At least once a week...not that I'm a morbid person, but I wonder about it and think of how nice it will be in heaven.

I checked At least once a day. I really don't obsess on the topic, but, I do associate driving with certain risk of death, and since I drive everyday, I think it passes through at some level somewhere.

It scares the hell out of me. Sometimes in bed when I'm almost asleep, it would hit me and freak me out intensely. Why do we have to die? That totally sucks!  * frown *
