🦉Welcome to the Free Top 10 Fears of Death Course for Everyday People
Nearly everyone carries at least one fear of death, and almost no one has ever been handed a calm, honest place to look at it. That is what this course is. It rests on one quiet insight that the people who spend their lives around dying know well: the fear of death is not one big darkness but a set of specific, nameable fears, and a fear that has been named can be met. Whether death feels far away, is approaching someone you love, or is approaching you, these lessons were built to be good company.
This course is written in plain, emotionally human language anyone can follow. It isn't clinical or professional training; it's real knowledge and guidance you can use in your own life and with the people you love, drawn from research, from the hospice world, and from the people who have sat at many bedsides. Each module offers clear teaching, real-life examples, and the honest, practical substance this subject deserves, and every lesson ends with a gentle IFS and parts work exercise so you can begin working with what you learn right away.
This course is self-paced, with no tests, exams, or homework. Feel free to go through it in order, or jump around to whatever interests you most.
