'What does it mean to be a self-conscious animal? The idea is ludicrous, if it is not monstrous. It means to know that one is food for worms.'

'If there are no rules, no grand designs, nothing we must do, then we are free to do as we choose … But we are unprepared; it is too much to bear, anxiety clamours for release, and, at both individual and social levels, we engage in a frenetic search to shield ourselves from freedom.'

― Irvin D. Yalom

'The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it and so we must shrink from being fully alive.'

'Death acts as a catalyst that can move one from one state of being to a higher one: from a state of wondering about how things are to a state of wonderment that they are. An awareness of death shifts one away from trivial preoccupations and provides life with depth and poignancy and entirely different perspective.'

― Irvin D. Yalom

Dame Deborah James talking about when she moved into end-of-life hospice care at home:

"I am not brave - I am not dignified going towards my death - I am simply a scared girl who is doing something she has no choice in but I know I am grateful for the life that I have had."

— Dame Deborah James 1982-2022

Part two of my 'Ex-Christian' series is now online. This time I'm wrestling with the fact I'm going to die one day, and that I will no longer be going to heaven after I die.

I look into whether there is anything to this idea of unconscious fear of death, and if Terror Management Theory can help me:

From the Ernest Becker Association:

'A recent study "showed that higher levels of depression indicated higher levels of death anxiety, and higher levels of depression and death anxiety indicated poorer quality of life."
