Death anxiety is the mother of all religions, which, in one way or another, attempt to temper the anguish of our finitude.
~ Irvin D. Yalom
Dying, however, is lonely, the loneliest event of life. Dying not only separates you from others but also exposes you to a second, even more frightening form of loneliness: separation from the world itself.
~ Irvin D.yalom
