i'm afraid of death
if you've seen my posts in here before, you'll probably know that i am indeed Catholic, i'm not here to start a massive argument over it. I believe in God and all that, i'm just terrified of dying, i'm afraid of the possibility of no afterlife, i mean i "HOPE" in the afterlife but it's something really hard for me to believe in, cause obviously there's no empirical evidence for an afterlife (NDEs seem like dying brain activity), obviously you don't base everything off of 100% proof that'd be a stupid way to live, but i just get stressed out over the idea that "hey maybe there is no afterlife, and this is just it.", obviously if there's no afterlife you wouldn't know it nor be disappointed that you were wrong, but i want to believe heaven is real cause i want to see Jesus and Blessed Mother and all the Saints and my family members that have passed before me, part of me thinks the idea of an afterlife is wishful thinking, i get stressed out to the point of having to take anxiety medication because what if after death it's just like before you're born? just *nothing*. i love my faith but this really bothers me and i'm supposed to have full faith in what Christ says, and he said there's an afterlife so when i doubt that and become scared of dying because of it i feel like i'm distrusting and disobeying him🙁 prayers definitely appreciated btw 🙏🏻
