Dear Jade:

I don’t think there is a way to eliminate this particular anxiety: as humans we are the only animals that can think about death, that can understand that death is inevitable (at least on the rational level), that can see into the future and know that everyone you know will die, and that you do not know when or how.

So this kind of anxiety, I think, is part of the deal of being human.

When you think about it, my suggestion: relax into it best you can. Relax into the reality of death, your own and others, best you can.

When it gets too much, you can think, as I do: one day I will die to and then… I will not be afraid anymore. Good thing… this is not forever.

Hi Jade,

You may want to take a look at Bach flower Remedies.

These are made from flower essences – 1 for each state of human mind or emotion.

There are different flower remedies for different problems (eg; Mimulus remedy is used for fear of public speaking, etc)

I used to take some of these remedies for my problems and found some relief.

The Bach remedy you may be looking for is “Red Chestnut“.

By doing a web search I found that it is written on the ‘Red Chestnut’ bottle as – “allows you to love without anxiety or fear for the well-being of your loved ones”

Below are some descriptive links on which of the cases one should use this remedy-

Not 100 % of what is written above may be applicable to you because it is written for a generalized population.

Do some research and if you are interested and not able to find it then let me know and I will let you know where it is available.

Regards,
