What helped my fear of Death was accepting death. I know that sounds kind of silly, but it has finally allowed me to relax. I had been having a lot of health problems and my anxiety was through the roof. It felt like my brain was on a loop. Always worried about every little anomaly in my body.
Like previous users had talked about I started with mindfulness, but that led to some other soul searching. I tried to get to the root of the problem. Why was I so scared of death besides the obvious. I realized I had started acting entitled. Like I'm scared to die and I shouldn't have to. This is my life I thought, why should it have to end.
I saw a show about accepting death. It's coming for us all and we can't stop it. By accepting i will die one day a weight was lifted from my shoulders. Whenever I started getting in my head I would just repeat to myself. Today I'm alive. I will do whatever I can to stay alive, but I accept my death. Just being present, and enjoying this terrible, beautiful and temporary life. Slowly but surely I came out of the depression and now I have started to change my attitude.
I can only imagine what you're going through, but hopefully you find peace in this life. I hope any part of my rambling response helped you at least a little. Good luck.
