Death

How do you get over fear of death, I was born into a Christian family and since about last year , I think I grew away but I’m not ready to let go since I’d have to make my own purpose but more so because I don’t know what to expect after death, I still call myself a Christian but I don’t think I’m what others would even remotely call one, these past few weeks, not depressing but I’ve had thought about death and what happens, I’m scared to die, I need solace, I’m miserable and I feel trapped in this world and if anyone knows me they know my worst fear is time wasting and I feel as though I’m time wasting just to die, I don’t want advice about depression or wtv I just am so scared of death as I have no idea what comes next and being a struggling Christian doesn’t help

I can only offer a Stoic perspective and that is that death is an inevitable truth we all must face someday. All forms of life come to an end, so with that in mind, we can focus on the now and start living in the present because ultimately the now is all that exists. To reach the end of one's life is beyond our control (within reason), and as for what happens beyond that I cannot say, but expending mental energy on something I have no control over is only gonna keep me from living in this moment. It's better to focus all your efforts on living the best life you can.
