In my fear landscape, my fears would be represented by crowded areas and robbers. This is because I have had bad experiences with robberies or being in a crowded space. If I were to be in a crowded place the first thing I try to do is escape by, listening to music that distracts me or by completely leaving the area and going elsewhere. Often, I try to stay in the area and face my fears to overcome them but, always fail when attempting this especially if I am with people who are not close to me.
Recently, I have been in one of my fear landscapes. A dark night in the town of Fort.Erie walking outside with some friends and thinking we heard a bear or some form of animal growling. I ran, breathed heavily and screamed to the top of my lungs. I am terrified of bears and will always be. Never have I heard this sound my 2 years of living here so that night completely freaked me out. I have more than 5 things that I fear. Being around dead bodies, watching people die (especially family), bears, snakes and crowded areas especially at night.

My biggest fear would have to be death and the fear landscape for this would be the church that my grandpa and my friend's funeral were held. The day that my grandpa passed away was a very scary moment and one that I will never forget. When I was 10 years old, I was sitting in the passenger seat of my dad's car and received a phone call from my grandma saying we should come over now, the ambulance were on the way. My heart dropped and it became hard to breathe. My grandpa was my life. The one I would always go to when something bad happened to me or I was in danger. I remember looking over to my dad and watching the tears run down his cheeks. I begun to cry and pray for my grandpa hoping that he wouldn't leave me this day. As we drove up to the house, the ambulance were taking him away. I asked my grandma "where are they going with papa?" she said "he's leaving us Dee, he's going to a better place. My heart crashed. Nothing was ever the same. A few weeks later, my grandpa's funeral was held in our church and sitting in the front row where his body laid was the hardest thing I've ever faced. Ever since this day I have been afraid of going to church because, I remember my grandpa and the pain of watching them take him away.
