Fear of death

December 17, 2011 at 2:37 am (This post was last modified: December 17, 2011 at 2:46 am by Jackalope.)

Our personal mortality is a subject that often causes a great deal of fear. I ask that you answer as honestly as you can, with a minimum of self-denial (which admittedly, can be difficult particularly with this subject).

Feel free to comment on your answer in detail. Assume that your passing would be relatively non-traumatic (e.g. dying peacefully in your sleep, or of an illness with good palliative care).
