Abstract
According to Existentialists, death anxiety and fear of mortality are inseparable parts of any human beings, so people throughout their lives are in constant struggle with this force by employing different means of self-defenses such as believing in their “specialness” and an “ultimate rescuer”, which will be shattered and leave the person unprotected from death thereby causing more anxiety.
