Struggling to “get over” your fear of death? I’m not at all surprised. Why? A fear of death is built into the way our minds work. Think of it this way–your brain is wired to keep you alive and your fear of death is a useful part of it. When you hear a loud noise, your fight or flight response kicks in to keep you safe. When you walk to the edge of a high cliff, fear keeps you from getting too close and possibly plummeting to your death. When a dangerous animal approaches, you run in the opposite direction so you don’t get eaten. The brain is constantly saying STAY ALIVE. And your fear of death is a useful part of it.

There are certainly some things that you can do to help embrace the fact that one day you will die however. Begin to talk about your wishes so that your loved ones are clear. Make an advance plan to handle the affairs of your life. Find the elements that give you life meaning. And if you’d like to walk a little closer to it, take a death meditation course (Grace in Dying) with me and we will safely walk you through your death and all the way back safely. “Getting over” a fear of death isn’t the point. Learning to live like you will die is.

As always, thank you for giving me a minute of your life to think about the end of it!! 🙏🏿⏳💜
