death anxiety

Death anxiety refers to the feelings of fear, uncertainty, or distress that people may experience when contemplating their own mortality or the end of life. It's a natural human response to the awareness of mortality and can vary in intensity among individuals. This anxiety may involve concerns about pain, loss of identity, or the unknown aspects of what happens after death. While some level of this anxiety is common, excessive fear can impact mental well-being. Understanding death anxiety can help individuals find ways to cope, reflect, and develop a healthier perspective on mortality.
