It's strange that she should ask this because I just wrote a whole entry about this today.

My greatest fear would have to be death. I have always had a difficult time dealing with the concept of it, and I am just now finding ways to see through this fear.

One way I did this was to tell my grandfather everything I wanted him to know before he died. This really opened new ideas to me as far as dealing with death and this experience alone has brought me a lot of insight and comfort.

Another way I feel like I can work through this is to actually talk about the concept of death. For example, instead of denying the inevitable and running away while my mom was dying like a did many years ago, today I would have talked about it with her. What she was feeling, how scared she was, what she thought was going to happen, what she wanted from me, what I could do for her.

I think the only way to conquer a fear is to look it straight in the face and resolve to conquer it. It doesn't have to be a loud conquering either, but just a silent resolve for change.
