A fear of death has been linked to a sense of existential shame - that one has not done enough to deserve having been alive / not justified one's existence. This in turn has been related to survivor guilt. It's a fascinating area to study - so many threads coming together!Althea Haytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405305710093547155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37914658.post-30282959393730801392011-08-17T13:48:47.983+01:002011-08-17T13:48:47.983+01:00Althea, I would have to agree that Freud was most ...Althea, I would have to agree that Freud was most definitely a wombtwin survivor, although in the time that he was alive, making his mark on the world, the thought probably did not enter his head, and certainly other people of the day were not even entertaining the possibility.But maybe that is exactly the point...that his brilliant mind was here for a reason at that exact point in time, so his theories would not be "muddied" by anyone else's psychoanalysis of him... that things happen when they do precisely for a reason, that cannot always be explained. One very important feature of Freud that I believe is shared by survivors all over the universe is that of control...he wanted to control his own destiny, including his time of death, and I think that is very appealing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
