I understand that, but do you really think that it helps you cope and move on over time if you just avoid the word death forever?

When I lost my dog it was devastating to see other dogs. But it really helped me move on to just expose myself to more dogs and eventually even get a new one.

Interesting. The thought of death calms my anxiety because I know* that if I die then all my worries will be taken away, and nothing will really matter anymore. It's the prospect of an unhappy or difficult life that worry me.

* well, I have a strong belief

Hmm, I guess that is exactly what bothers me so much about death.

I’d rather spend an eternity worrying than a second in oblivion.
