what is it about death that we fear

There are many who fear death, but what is the real fear behind it?  Is it rational to have this fear? I mean once we take our last breath thats it, nothing more. Our spirit that our body encased just dissipates, we are done.  There are those that believe in the afterlife in some form be it heaven and hell, reincarnation or any other type.

i feel that the real fear is if anyone will care enough to be around at that time. We question did we make enough good friends, does our family care enough to be there. Will these people remember me in 3 days from now, in a week, a month even a year. The thing is we never get that answer. We can feel that we know the answer and there are those in our lives that say they will be there and remember us but there is no proof.

There is also the wonderment of leaving a legacy behind.  I know personally with me i know my impact on the world has been small, with my biggest achievements being rescuing animals and having 2 children. What do i want remembered about me...i want it to be the animal rescuing, and my writing. i want to be an accomplished writer.

What do you want to be remembered for???
