Speaking of death, I've had some crazy fear-of-death pop up consciously the last day or so. Just remembered while thinking about this thing with my wife's grandfather.
I've had a fear of flying since a large drop in altitude I experienced as a teenager - especially the inability to control what's happening and the likely finality of any major mishap.
I was watching a new comedy last night - The Good Place - which is based on a character who just passed away. They showed people in coffins, and it freaked me out.
This stuff normally doesn't bother me in that kind of acute-sense when my thoughts go to those subjects. The abject terror I felt, if only for mere seconds, during contemplation of those things was greater than the last time I flew somewhere.
