Fear of Death vs Fear of Dying

Born April 13, 1949 – Died December 15, 2011
Anglo-American, Author, Critic, Journalist

Fear of Death vs Fear of Dying – Interview

I feel a sense of waste about it because I’m not ready.

I feel a sense of betrayal to my family and even to some of my friends who would miss me.

Undone things, unattained objectives.

But I hope I’d always have that, if I was 100 when I was checking out.

But no, I think my main fear is of being incapacitated or imbecilic at the end.
