Why Are You So Afraid of Death?

Domenic Ruso

|

Nobody likes talking about death.

But everybody thinks about it.

The fear of dying isn't just about the moment itself. It's the fear of suffering. The fear of being forgotten. The fear of the unknown. The fear of leaving behind the people you love. And the quiet, unsettling feeling that no matter how healthy you eat or how young you look, you can't outrun it.

In this message, Dom Ruso tackles the question most people spend their whole lives avoiding — and explores what happens when you stop running from it and start asking what it actually means.

He looks at the story of Jesus arriving at the tomb of his friend Lazarus — not rushing to fix it, not bypassing the grief, but weeping. And what that moment reveals about death, grief, and what it means to face our greatest fear without being paralysed by it.

This is the final week of Questions You Can't Shake — a series tackling the questions people carry around but rarely ask out loud.
