Fear of death finding resilience

Finding resilience 


 A lot of us humans are afraid of death, which is common.
We need to find a way to think differently about it, so how do we do that? Well..... By changing how you think it is as simple as that my friend. I've had tragic loss of a loved one by suicide not once but twice in my life and that can be hard to deal with. At a young age  I faced older brother’s death and in my 20’s I had to face after my dad had a stroke and that was hard. I managed to change how I see and believe. My belief  has to be in a positive place as much as I can as well as being open minded. But, it took a lot for me to understand why I was afraid of death as I was anxious about being suicidal myself so i took the step to make a change. So here are the tools. What got me thinking was why am I so afraid of death? This why journaling helps. Changing how we think about our loss is recognising your negative thoughts about the situation of that loss, are you over catastrophising everything? Suicide is a form of trauma check out this article 👇


The Tasks of Mourning: Quick Reference worksheet provides an overview of the four tasks of mourning. This handout lists each task, along with a brief description of each one. In therapy, the tasks of mourning can be used as a framework to assess grief, and to determine a course of action. I did it myself I hope it helps you. 

  • To accept the reality of the loss
  • To process the pain of grief
  • To adjust to a world without the deceased
  • To remember the deceased while moving forward in life

I hope this helps you to understand your fear of death.

The Importance of Going After your goal You Want

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...
