At 70 I'm very aware that death is fast approaching and I hate it and am also sometimes afraid, not so much of death itself but of the possibility of a painful drawn out dying process.
I think about my own death at least once a day but most days I also get on with living as well as I can and consciously list my gratitude for all the good things I have in my life, alternating some days with anger that I don't have enough time left to do everything I'd like to do before I go.
Living a life always terrified of death isn't really living at all and in your case it sounds like a phobia, for which it would be a good idea to seek therapy.
Is it normal to be absolutely terrified of death?
