My nightmare

Robert124

My nightmare is that I will die alone and unnoticed.  I will  only be a skeleton when the bailiffs break down the door to evict me for non payment of rent on my flat.

    Have you considered what is driving this fear? 

    What are your concerns about this? You will be dead so you won't be able to be hurt anymore and there is no-one to be hurt by it as you are alone.

    I've found that considering the reality of our mortality is very grounding.

    There are 107 billion people who have ever lived and the vast majority of them are long dead, fogotten and turned to bones or dust long ago. We all have a similar fate ahead and the chances of us creating any meaningful legacy are tiny.

    By seeing the harsh reality there I find it gives more reason to embrace every day and live life while you can because that is really all we have. Find the things that make you happy or give meaning to you and fill your boots as you never know when the grim reaper will come calling, and I'm pretty sure he never heard anyone say "I wish I had spent more time alone and lonely".
