Drew Barrymore recently detailed her struggle with a "crippling" fear of death during a conversation on her talk show.

However, she shared that for the past two years, she has been actively trying to reframe her perception, hoping to see death not as a dark end but as a transition into infinite beauty and light.
Barrymore explained that her perspective shift began with a realization that she didn't want to live in fear of an inevitable end. She discussed this with guest Brad Falchuk, host of Famous Last Words, seeking ways to approach death with peace and gratitude for her life. The actress admitted that her two daughters, Olive and Frankie, are her primary reason for fearing death, as the thought of leaving them is profoundly difficult.
