Guess again. I may be a few years younger than you, but not that far off, and I have not feared death in years. Actually look forward to it just to see what is on the other side.
However, there are different attitudes about it for sure. For example:
I took my kids up north to say good-bye to their great-grandmother (97) who was on her way out. I talked to her, and she was completely comfortable with the idea that she was going to die, and said she would after she had finished praying for the people on her mental list. When she died a week or so later, I was sad that I no longer had a place to crash in San Francisco where no reservations were required, but I knew she was ready to go.
Last year my kids went to TX to say good-bye to their grandmother on their mother's side (80+/-). Now this lady was afraid to die, and it showed.
The point is, it probably has a lot to do with how you live your life here and now as to what your attitude towards death will be. I could die when I hit Submit Reply, and I would have no regrets or fears
