Fear is one thing a lot of humans have in common. I doubt there is anyone who do not have secret fears. I fear death too, the feeling of not knowing what happens after my eyes close permanently scares me. Sometimes I wish there is a way we can tell what happens next after someone dies, perhaps it will help me relax and be more acceptable of it when it comes.
I also fear losing my memory. Goodness me. Can you imagine what it would be like not being able to remember my past? My greatest fear of memory loss is dementia. I can't imagine not remembering my husband or my parents or even my kids. It's a terrible place to be and no one deserves to go through that. Memories are created for a reason. It's heart wrenching when these memories are stolen you from you by sickness.
Did I mention running mad? I see mad people on the streets and I wonder just what kind of life they must have been living before the unfortunate incident. Youths who must have had a promising future. I fear the idea of walking the streets naked not knowing what I am doing and not recognising any of my loved ones. It's crazy.
I simply hope these things never happen to anyone i know much less me.
Great post
