The Root of the Fear Is the Separation

In a therapeutic tradition, what you usually do is try to figure out what you're afraid of. Another technique is this witness which merely sits with a fear and tries to get it before it becomes so consuming that there's no space left. A lot of the power preoccupations that we end up having and especially the power of trying to leave something behind in the face of death is the feeling of our own fragility. If you look at social structures, you see how much social institution is based upon the feeling of fragility of the human condition.
