Eval for anxiety: Based on mortality rates, and setting aside other potential health issues, her age cohort is low risk for death. However, it may not matter how many statistics you show her. If in overall good health, recommend eval with psychologist or psychiatrist to assess level of anxiety around the fear around dying. Preoccupation with fear of dying is called thanatophobia and can be impairing.
