People should be aware that OP lives in Brazil, I have Brazilian friends that no longer live there and migrated to other countries because of how bad it is over there. A whole lot of government corruption and gangs mixed into one it's really dangerous for op especially at night time, people can get kidnapped without a blink of an eye. I could probably understand why OP feels like this.
For me death is understandable because I'm religious I just believe that god has set up our lives and when we come to an end then it's just how god made everything for us and I do fully 100% believe in afterlife. Everything tends to happen for a reason

my thoughts from last month on the subject:

atm i'm trying to save a friend who actually wants to die. it would seem i've talked with way more people at that far end of the spectrum than on the opposite end where op is at, so for me the thought of being kept awake over the fear of an inevitable event that every living thing eventually goes through is difficult to understand in some cases

i personally haven't dealt with death very much - i've yet to have important family members of mine pass away, but i've really just come to accept that stuff comes and then goes. at some point of my life i started to genuinely wonder why people become so affected by the loss of somebody. that's mostly just because i'm lonely in a way but also becuase i've always treated death differently to what i always see others treat it as so. i'm not denying it's painful and heartbreaking - it's definitely extremely impactful, but I honestly treat death more of a 'let's reflect on the past! let's be extremely thankful for everything this person has ever provided to me in my life and to others in their life, and celebrate how fantastic they were as a person!' more then something like 'OHHHHHH how the forget am i going to live ever again now that they're gone??'. funerals slightly confuse me becuase it's such a depressing thing to attend, yet, honestly i feel as if we should be celebrating the life that the person had, instead of constantly being sad of their loss. celebrating everything they achieved, their determination they must've had in order to do whatever they've done in their life and honestly just how lucky we were to be close friends to somebody that amazing. why should we spend our time constantly being depressed of their loss when we could accept that everything is temporary, and that the life that they have had was the best that we could've possibly made it. i'm, of course, talking more of dying of oldness then something actually depressing such as being in an accident, a disease or even cancer, as somebody dying due to something that completely wasn't their fault is far more depressing then having a full life and dying of old age.
we really should just celebrate the life we get, instead of wasting our lives being frightened of the inevitable end.
