Existential Crisis And Fear Of Death

The Story

Hello, within half a year my grandparents died, God forgive them !!! I was at my grandmother's funeral, I cried. I'm a 29-year-old man, but this was the first funeral I've been to. Something happened to me, I don't know. Some thoughts were unlocked about how meaningless everything is, how we will all die. I saw my grandmother in the coffin putting her in the ground and burying her, and I thought about how we would all do there, whatever we do and live. We are attached to some things and people, we have some dreams and desires - some we achieve, others do not, but the main thing is that in the end they bury us. How to live? Has anyone who has fallen into such a state (I understood it to be called an existential crisis) been able to overcome it? Now that I see older people on the bus, I feel sick because they look like my grandparents. But not just for adults anymore, I also start thinking about my own death. For example, I want to buy something and at one point the thought arises "well, even if I don't buy it, it doesn't matter, because it will die anyway" and so on. My whole life began to seem irrational to me. I don't know, I think a lot, but at the same time the things I think are not fiction, but real. It's confusing!!! I hope you post my topic .. Thanks!
