I feared death for many years and used to make deals like if I don't do this I will die or if I don't touch this or check this walk her look here I will die. It was an ocd. It wasn't until I worked as a cna on a very good hospice unit for a year that i found peace. ( prior to my diagnosis, work the only thing kept me sane) we worked with the families and patients. It became a beautiful and honorable thing to move a patient on comfortably. Now I'm at peace and ok when my time comes. I don't obsess anymore. If your the type of person that can face things head on try volunteering with a hospice program. You wouldn't have to do any of the care just visit with patients on your time. It's just a way to gently face death and kinda come to terms deep within that eventually it will happen. Good luck however u do it I hope u find something that works. This phobia is the worst I believe as u cannot run from it just accept it.

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
Thanks for this!
