Ways of making peace with dying

[plantlife]

I know it sounds silly but a lot of my anxiety is quite simply FOMO. Death is always an unknown, but the future is only unknown until you live it.

I want to know what happens in the world after I die, I just don't want to be a part of it anymore.

There will never be a perfect time to die. I think realising that helps. We are all already so embedded in life, so plugged into the machine, that it is scary and awkward to contemplate actually, fully unplugging.

There will always be some instinctive part of me reaching out for hope, searching for new possibilities, wondering how things could have been better and could still be better. But at some point it is already too late and the damage is done.
