Is it normal to fear death this much

  • I understand, and I sympathise. What really helped me overcome my fear of death was considering nature's compensations. When it comes time to die, it feels right. Death might not feel right now in the midst of vitality and life, but nature has its compensations.

    The following is an anecdote/quote I found on a website, which is a good example;

    "I know someone who was hit by a bullet. He tells me at the time, he didn't feel any pain. I've heard other people who've survived accident and injury describe the same thing. During life-threatening emergencies, nature helps you by putting you into a state of detachment. Reality seems to take on a dreamlike (sometimes even slow motion) quality. Like a psychological protective buffer helping us manage and live through the experience.

    People close to death describe how it starts to feel right for them; if you live ninety years or suffer a long illness, death starts to feel much more a part of the natural cycle of things. Nature has its own way of helping us manage things when they arise. Remember this."

    • It's like you're telling me to accept death, which I never will. I constantly pray that Jesus will come back before my time & my loved ones, and take us home so we never have to experience death or loss
