If you find yourself constantly worried about dying and feeling overwhelmed with health anxiety with every symptom, diagnosis, test, protocol, procedure, this sequence is for you.
Some people that follow Buddhism practice what is called a "death meditation," in which people meditate specifically on the finite nature of life, those that are dead or dying, and as a result, end up being able to live more intentionally and more beautifully because they choose to remember that our time here is limited.
