When my children were young I went through a short phase of worrying about dying. It seemed like a cloud would come over my brain and I was worried it would come one day and not leave. I have never experienced any type of anxiety like this before or after. After some time I confided the problem with my wife. I was surprised by her reaction. She said, "you should be glad you are starting to feel normal things for the first time in your life". Then the penny dropped. I had never been loved unconditionally in the way my wife and children loved me. It's not surprising to worry about being separated from such love. So to answer your question it was more like a brain re-wiring than new perspective. 25 years on I have a contenment about life and death. I hope my children will go on to do better things than I have done and that I can help them along the way.
