A good question and an even better answer
“Why are we so afraid to die?
Are we concerned about the reckoning we may have to face on the other side?
Or does the thought of our non-existence terrify us? Perhaps neither.
Perhaps what we fear most is no longer being able to do the things that we love.”

Sad but true and nobody is doing anything to stop it...
"There's always a moment when the road forks. Each one goes off, thinking the roads will come together again. You see the other person getting smaller and smaller. That's all right. We're made for each other. She'll be there at the end. But at the end only one thing happens. The fucking winter comes. Suddenly you realize that everything is over. Really. You feel it. And then you try to remember at what point it all began. And you discover it started before you thought. Long before. And it's at that moment you realize things only happen once. And no matter how hard you try you'll never feel the same again. You'll never feel again you're three meters above the sky."

Funny reason why Freud dropped hypnosis as his technique
Quote from Case 3, Miss Lucy R (Freud), Studies on Hysteria, Freud & Breuer, 1895:
"Furthermore, I soon began to tire of issuing assurances and commands such as: 'You are going to sleep!...sleep!' and of hearing the patient, as so often happened when the degree of hypnosis was light, remonstrate with me: 'But, doctor, I'm not asleep'"

Finally formulated it!
The most intolerable fact of our existence, our worst narcissistic fear is that "we are not special and can be replaced". (Mitchell as cited by Borossa in "Hysteria", p. 65)
Marriage must have been created to contain this fear?!
