Life Affirming Death Awareness
Most of us live our lives denying or attempting to avoid our death anxiety. Yet, this fear impacts us on both a conscious and unconscious level. Life-affirming death awareness is a concept described by Dr. Robert Firestone, in which a person recognizes the destructive defenses and self-limiting behaviors they’ve built up in order to escape their fears of death. By facing their deep sadness about the temporary nature of life, a person can actually live life more fully and experience the joys of their existence along with the pain.
