Last week I sat with my instructor for the final discussion. I have been the only student turn out for each live lecture. I learned a new word I thought I would share this week. The word is Thanatophobia. I don’t have it, but I know some people do. It’s death anxiety. My instructor said that the older a person is, the less likely he/she will have thanatophobia. I also believe that is true.
As I have mentioned before, I hang with a group of friends once a month or so. Two are in their 70’s. One is 65 and I am the baby of the group. Death has been a topic as we have all seen friends pass. The 65-year-old
has a hard time dealing with the idea of death. She may have
thanatophobia. I will mention it to her the next time we converse about
the death subject.
