I'm 60-but you know, my dad was very fearful of death when he was younger, but as he got older, the fear left him. When he was 92, he used to play a joke on the nurses at the nursing home where he was staying (he had dementia) by lying on the bed and "playing dead". When they got concerned, he would laugh and laugh. I think dementia sets you free-he used to do all sorts of "unacceptable" things that were quite funny.:>}
