Note:  Please avoid driving during thunderstorms if you’re afraid of lightening.   My mother is afraid of lightening and riding with her while it’s lightening is my phobia because she ducks and jumps while driving (and I’m usually worried about the wheel).  I wonder what that phobia is called.   

Thanatophobia is the fear of dying.

Note:  You might fear it, but take comfort in the fact that there is no way around it.  It happens to the best of them, when you have to go, you have to go.  What other choice do you have?
