The death isnt the problem

Death is an inevitability but we want everyone to live to their full potential and not feel cheated.

Death is the only absolute truth for everything that lives - it's that uncomplicated.
I've had an absolutely fabulous life - what will be and when it will be will be is a non-event. Others will deal with it.
600000 posts on three sites in 10 years is not a life
Hermits are going whooo

Bhai, we die so easily being just a balloon of water that must consume all sorts of crap to remain mobile
Instead of being humbled by this reality, we act like if we are made of impenetrable steel and make life hard for each other.
Death dont scare me, in fact, it seems, for most of existence, I have been dead, until the last couple decades.

What make death bad for some people is leaving loved ones and not being there to see what will happen to their future. A Mother leaving her children, or a man leaving his wife.
For some people is the physical pain that comes with dieing, for some is "dieing too soon" because a personal accomplishment or career accomplishment in life will now never be fulfilled.
Many factors why people will never be ready to die
There's the belief for some that physical death is not the end of that inner self. For them, there's hope.
Do you think there's an awareness of some sort in post-death? That you are aware you're dead, and in a different plane, perhaps? Like an out of body experience.
Those that are left behind have to be ready to carry on. You can do your best to set them up. You can't worry about them. Record your messages for those that remain.
Those that have made the transition were of the most accomplished humans that ever walked the earth. Why fear it?

We have no choice about death, at this time. Even when we will (in the distant future) we will be faced with the same issues we face today. Is it worth it to extend an individual's life?
Put another way, we should strive to live a life of love and service to others, because it improves the life of all of us collectively. Then, maybe, either God or man might see it prudent to extend a given individual's life, if possible.
Issues related to this subject have been discussed before, hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Let me pose a simple question. How can one be truly happy in any form of afterlife after just leaving his grieving spouse, family and friends? What is post-death like to you? A happy life without loved ones?, then what makes it happy? or is it one in spirit? or one in the form of an animal or just no after-life, none at all? Because the answers to these questions can determine the jist of any answer to your thread question

Fear of the unknown.
In reply to nick2020
True and probably the the best way to put it in few words. Fear of not knowing what next

Yes. Great question, how can one be happy leaving grieving loved ones.
I think, that upon relinquishing the body there's a realization that this physical body is but a temporary phase. So all the trappings of the body - house, car, money, skills, family, ambitions, goals etc. Will all dissipate and you'll realize all of these are / were attachments to the ego and physical you. It will not be seen in the same light as you might now view it.
That's why the grieving histrionics is just that.

When you think about it life is full of man made distractions.
I guess it takes our minds off the inevitable. Maybe the people who are no longer distracted want to die.
Death is not that bad unless you are ClawDeath Sing boi Sing
Death is an issue for those that can't let go of attachment. As hard as it sounds, relationships are attachments too - father, mother, wife, son, daughter, friend etc.
