While most people have heard and seen other people's death, they might be anxious about death itself and/or dying process. This paper was to examine what death anxiety is (i.e., what symptoms are associated with its anxiety), how to assess its anxiety, what factors affect the anxiety, and what coping strategies are. The major factors affecting death anxiety were age and a variety of personality characteristics. Several coping strategies, such as biological or spiritual, were discussed in this paper.
