And I wasn't always afraid. I was as a child, and then I managed to accept it and find comfort spiritually.
But I've been going through a rough patch in my life, and suddenly, I find all my faith in regards to death to be a bit shaken, and also just afraid. I mean, I still have faith in a lot of things, I don't want a big spiritual discussion. It's just... I'm afraid of how sudden I could die, without knowing why or saying my farewells to my loved ones, and what happens afterwards, and if anything I've done matters when I die. And even if it's not my death, I'm afraid of the day when I lose the people I care about, especially the ones who help support me in my times of emotional need.
Someone, help me accept my mortality and that of everyone else without it becoming a "Join this faith" speech or a nihilistic rant on the meaninglessness of life. Other than that, I'll accept a lot of help from as many as I can get.

That's something we all feel at one point in time of our lives. I was petrified of death back when i was in high school. and a little part of that fear will always be there it's a part of being human, but i believe that's why we should NOT become part of any one faith but just be fair and just to one another so that when we die people will remember us for who we were and reflect upon how they can better themselves in our absence. i think we'd all want to choose how we go and at what age but that's the frailty of it. and your loved ones will know if you suddenly go like my cousin did a few years ago that you really did mean to say goodbye and that your in a better place whatever that place may be for you.
hope you take some solace in this advice
