Fear of Death = Self-Preservation Instinct Its a good thing. If that doesn't work, then you should look yourself in a bathroom at the mall, pull out the gun you keep between your legs, and face your fears, YOU COWARD!!! Then, after you splatter your brains across the wall, be very upset... Because you now have nothing to complain about you whiney litte child.

Just give up your Christian ideology and you shall be able to overcome this fear. As a matter of fact, I do not believe in God because it makes me fear death. On the other hand, if you come to think of it you will probably realise you have nothing to do with death at all, for when death is, you are not, and when you are, death is not: so you never cross paths with death at all. What you should be worried about is pain and the best way to get rid of it.

I hate to be the odd one out here, but death is something Ive never been scared of. I was doing a delivery at work a couple of years ago when some idiot robbed & stabbed me in the street. The claret was flowing big time, but the only thing I could think about was," My life insurance was up last month and Ive not renewed it. My sisters gonna be pissed if she has to pay for the funeral..! "

Fear of death is called necrophobia. And to me death isn't really such a scary thing as I'm young at the moment. I cant really say Im looking forward to it though. : )

every one suffers from the fear of death to one degree or another. It is a survival mechanism.
If you obsess about it tho, that is not healthy and you may wish to talk to a therapist about it.
