Don't want to think about death, how do I do it?

The Idea of leaving this world into the unknown or oblivion creeps me out too much.I feel like I'm thinking about it constantly.How do I at least be calm about it or at least lessen the fear?

Hi,

I also think about death, when it might happen and how it will occur, and maybe that is what is "creeping you out" as a chilkd I nearly lost my mother when she was in Hospital and underwent a very serious surgical procedure, her heart stopped on the operating table. The surgeons resusitated her, but her retelling the whole story when she came home freaked me out so much, I worried about death for years afterwards.

I dont worry so much now, I accept it will happen ( as if I had a choice!), I think most people just dont want the possibility of a painful end, that might be your worry. If we could all just go to sleep and not wake up ever again and die in that way, then maybe we wont even think about it very much. I have seen death in all of its horror in the last two years( road accident victims, Murder victims, drowning victims) I just feel that as long as my own passing is not gruesome, its okay.However many people tell me that I am a picture of health and should last well into the 21st century! that takes me to around a 100 years. Thats cool by me.

Live your life to the maximum,do all those positive things you want to do, as its the only life you have right now and make every day the very best possible. Dont worry so much, it ( worry) wastes so much precious enery you could use for other matters and could bring your end around much faster!
Just try to remain open minded about it and most of all positive with the rest of your natural life. Take care of yourself, eat good food, fruit, drink minimal alcohol & you should last a long time.
