Afterlife

Afterlife At some point in everyone’s life they experience thoughts about death, whether that they’re positive or negative depends on their outlook on the after life. While some view death as only the beginning of their eternal life others view it as the absolute end. Living in fear of day will not allow one to live peacefully or happily because in reality everyone’s life eventually ends with death.

The character is completely lost with the idea that death is just going to take away his life. His idea of death would something that he could feel coming so that he would know about it.
