One of my past therapists said they were not afraid to die. Then I missed our very last appointment where I was going to ask them to explain that. Does anyone relate to them? (hexbear.net)

They retired shortly after the missed appointment, and I'll never be able to ask them. I've been wondering about what their reasons are everyday since.

Context is they're very old, love going out to the middle of nowhere and laying down to feel vibrations in the ground. They're only afraid of their death hurting people around them, so if they're not dying fighting for social justice, they'll live out their life to their oldest age.

If you also aren't afraid to die, could you please explain to me how? I want answers even if it's from other people.

I'm not afraid to die, but I'm also not looking forward to it, if that makes sense. It's the nature of consciousness to be transient, we all die and return to the earth, nourishing and making way for new life. It's just the nature of things, no more logical to fear death than to fear the sun coming up in the morning.
