How to get rid of the fear of getting infected and dying 1





Several years ago, Anna Danilova, editor-in-chief of the Pravoslavie i Mir internet portal, published a collection of articles entitled “From Death to Life. How to Overcome the Fear of Death.” Priests (one of them is the famous Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh), Elizaveta Glinka (whom we all knew as Dr. Lisa), psychologist Larisa Pyzhyanova, and a nurse from Holland, Frederica de Graaf, talk about their attitude to death. These people have encountered not imaginary, but quite real deaths many times and have helped many people to survive the grief of losing loved ones. These remarkable people used different methods, and today we will tell you about only a few.



Fear of death is normal
Most psychologists admit that the fear of death is a normal and even necessary feeling that allows a person to avoid senseless risks, and therefore survive better in an unpredictable world. We can talk about a phobia when this fear begins to interfere with living a normal life: communicating with friends, doing work and everyday things.




The author of one of the articles in the collection, Archpriest Alexei Uminsky, describes the fear of death quite accurately: "People are used to turning off their feelings in moments of colossal tragedies. But not everyone can do this. Then the fear of death begins to grow inside and eat away at a person like a tumor. He himself, being alive, is so defeated by this death, so weakened, that he can no longer do anything."



In fact, it is not death that is frightening, but the uncertainty of how it happens and what will happen after life ends. Death is not frightening in itself, but because it is something unknown and possibly painful. Fear is also caused by what is associated with it: a feeling of helplessness, old age, loss of health, social status.
