My heart goes out to you, and I am here for you. Like many of these other kind and compassionate commenters, I would be more than willing to talk with you about this. Let me know what I can do...
When I read this, I had to get some fresh air, recover a bit. I have carried a similar burden for many years, and like you, I carried it in silence. I was embarrassed about the nature of my fear because, yep, everyone dies. Why should I worry more than anyone else? I believe it is tied in to my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but I refrain from discussing it with anyone, whether zie is a medical professional or a close friend.
I was raised Catholic, and I easily believed in Heaven and Hell; as a Pagan Witch, I easily believed in the Summerlands. In recent years, I still practice magick and ritual, but I'm just not sure about the afterlife...It scares me.
