Overcoming the fear of death

I am terrified of the idea of "forever" and I'm also afraid that when I die I won't exist at all. I'm afraid of never seeing my children or my husband again.

So many unknowns, it terrifies me and I don't know what to do to become at peace with the idea of dying.

Wolf Heart,

I also had a fear of death, but I overcame it by studing the subject in detail. The book "Exploring Death: What You Should Know About Dying" by John Joseph Petrovic, c. 2008 may be of help to you. You can look inside it on Amazon.
