[quote=Anonymous]I went through this in a similarly overwhelming way and in retrospect I think it was the reflection of an anxiety disorder -- which I have since been treated for and my DC has as well. My parents weren't real believers and we never discussed death openly, which paved the way for my anxiety to latch onto it. I have approached things differently with my DC, who hasn't had this anxiety but has fixated on other worrisome things. My point is that you might want to unravel whether this is a bread and butter fear of death or whether he's an anxious kid and his anxiety has attached to this. If it really is interfering with his ability to sleep and enjoy life, you might consider therapy. I wish I had it as a kid.[/quote]
