I’ve had two experiences of death anxiety, one from an accidental overdose (prescription dose prescribed turned out to be too high) and one a mysterious illness, both before I knew anything about Buddhism. The first time I just focused on trying to remain alive, but the second time I distinctly remember lying in bed and thinking it’s okay if I die. I’m hoping when the actual moment arrives, I will not be in such agony that I can’t relax and meet death with joy like a true yogin.
