Reese Witherspoon Is Not Afraid To Die and Here Is Why

Reese Witherspoon believes in life after death and this has wiped out her fear of dying.

In an interview with LA Times published Thursday, the ‘Big Little Lies’ actress said she was confident of going to heaven once she passes away.

Witherspoon was raised in a devout Episcopalian family and she still practices her faith. Her confidence comes from her faith, said the “Legally Blonde” actress.

“There's a time and a purpose and a place, and I don't fear death, because I know there's heaven. I know it,” said Witherspoon.

Talking further about her unwavering faith, Witherspoon said it helped that she did not have any repressive experiences with religion. The actress believes that everyone has a gift and one's purpose in life is to find the gifts that God has given.

Witherspoon makes it a point to go to church regularly with her family. Visiting the church, she told People in a 2009 interview, “takes you out of your personal experience and universalizes it. You understand that whatever you’re dealing with, someone in that room has either dealt with the same thing or will in the future. We are all struggling to figure out what life is about,” says Reese, adding that “we are all just looking for answers.”

The mother-of-three – she shares daughter Ava, 20, and Deacon, 16, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and seven-year-old Tennessee with husband Jim Toth – recently admitted that she was at a stage where she’s happy how her life is panning out.

The 44-year-old said she was much calmer now than she was when younger, and admitted that she does not constantly worry about others’ perception of her anymore.

Witherspoon has been socially distancing due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and she has been keeping her fans updated through social media posts.

Earlier this month, Witherspoon stressed the importance of discussing “racism, privilege, bigotry and hate” with children after she had a talk with her youngest regarding the protests taking place across the country over George Floyd’s killing.

“Being a white mother trying to explain racism and bigotry to her white son, who did not understand why anyone would treat another human being that way, was heartbreaking,” she wrote on Instagram. “But not nearly as heartbreaking as being a victim of one of these senseless, violent, unconscionable crimes.”
