My friend has a terrible fear of death...?

Question

My friend is really freaked out about death... he is extremely afraid of his family, friends, pets, or himself dying. It's gotten so bad recently that sometimes he becomes so completely focused on it that he can't function normally. I've tried telling him that everything is going to be ok, no matter what, but I just can't find words that'll help enough. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Tell him not to die twice. One a natural death which is unavoidable and the other the death with fear for which the person cant enjoy the life and work.

Answer 2

i gave my life 2 Jesus yrs ago & I no longer fear death.

Best Wishes!!!

Answer 3

well, explain to him that:

A: everybody dies and has to die, so don't worry, and

B: most people die at a really old age and just die in their sleep and

C: well, if somebody in his family dies, or he dies, you will support him and his family and that you will do that because you are a good friend and

D: everybody would remember him and always love him and would never forget him.

maybe even go as far as getting some counseling for him, because if it's getting really out of hand, then you would be stressed as well as him and probably his family.

good luck with your friend :)
