What do you Fear most?

I am reading a very interesting book and it had a chapter on Fear. Soooo interesting. I am at a point where I am learning to face my fears. I use to have a fear of dying but working on my inner self and learning about the Spiritual body - the fear is subsiding. Whatever you fear and coming up with the worst case scenario helps a LOT. I am more cautious than fearful. However, I am still a work in progress facing my fears head on.
 

Becoming homeless again.
I was homeless for a few months years ago and that was the pits.
I rent and in this climate there is always the possibility of the landlord selling the place for what ever reason.
If the rent was to go up then I could handle that but if I was made to move out then the chances of finding another
rental are very slim indeed. Meaning I would become homeless at age 60.
I doubt if I would tolerate that with the ensuing consequences that would follow.
 
Easy. The deaths of those I love.
That's the big one for me, too.
My parents both long deceased, my two oldest sisters have died in the 9 1/2 yrs since we moved here. Have one more older sister, and one brother younger brother i'd mourn but work thru the grief, have had lots of practice.
However i really don't want to outlive my 3 children or my grandson. That would be a heavier burden despite my belief system.

As a healthy active human, I greatly fear eternal non existence of DEATH. Enjoyable, meaningful existence is the most important thing imaginable for an otherwise mortal loving organic entity. I do not believe organic Earth creature lifeforms have eternal souls but rather a complex oscillating electromagnetic field within brains that very much can be forever extinguished upon death if not somehow saved by an ultimate intelligent entity.
 
My fear would be bedridden, and hooked up for weeks/months to machines just to maintain a heartbeat. That is why I have a DNR directive specified in my documents. I hope to go strong, right up to the end, then go quickly.
Same here. I have informed my hubby if I go before him, do not have me living on a machine. I have to instruct my daughter as well. Let me go peacefully. I may have to document it as well.
 
After seeing my mother pass away recently in hospice, I fear going what she went through. She was in hospice for over a year. She went through a period where she was relatively healthy but no longer mobile. She used to tell me the physical therapist could help her walk again, but I knew that was not possible. She sat in her chair, ate in her room and was bathed by one of the caregivers. It broke my heart.

In late September, she became bedridden and was constantly uncomfortable and pulling at her covers. She would cry out "Take me home", and "What happened to me?". The Chaplain was with her, and she was talking to her brother, who is deceased. I just can't imagine.

Sorry to be such a downer. I did find a book called "Fearless" while cleaning out her apartment, and I have every intention of reading it.
