Part and parcel of Catholic praxis is a lifetime preparation for one's death and because of it, I tend to look at death from within theological context and treat it as historical (from the catechetical thesis of Adam/Eve and Resurrection) rather than a natural order of things. How I live my life, the mistakes I commit in my lifetime for which a perfect contrition would merit redemption, the promise of salvation and the afterlife all connect to each other. I find no room for fear, it gets edged out by faith and hope.
