I don't think kids have a problem with death. It's us older ones who are nearer to it that start being frightened.

How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.

I have an internal protectiveness where it's like if it comes to just me as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like It could happen and I'm okay I'm prepared.

If you're extremely painfully frightened of age it shows.
