Understanding Death Anxiety: What Your Mind Is Trying to Tell You

Most people do not realize this. Fear of death is rarely just about dying. It is about meaning, uncertainty, attachment, and the parts of life we have not fully lived yet.
Death anxiety (also called existential anxiety) often shows up quietly. Through overthinking. Restlessness. Fear of loss. Or a constant feeling that something is missing. We stay busy, distract ourselves, and push it away, but the feeling keeps returning.
That is why self-awareness matters.
