Something I wish was more common is some type of therapy for treating death anxiety. I read somewhere that LSD can reduce the fear of death[0]. I can think of few things I’d like more in life than not being afraid to cease to exist[1] in my deathbed.

I suppose those going through terrible terminal illnesses suffer enough to accept death over the suffering, but I don’t see why one should need to experience such extremes to accept the inevitable.

[0] That’s a big maybe, don’t go around self medicating serious issues based on unsourced comments on unregulated drugs [1] I know religion or philosopy can sometimes fill this gap, but let’s remember those who are skeptical or didn’t have a lot of time to prepare
