There are two kinds of fear: the fear of unpleasant past experiences and the fear of unknown experiences.
An unpleasant experience exist as a narrative, usually refers to mental or physical harm. We feel afraid because there're potential possibilities that such harm can happen to us again.
The fear of the unknown is rather abstract, the essential reason is that we need to understand a concept through reliable narrative. Like death, as no one can tell a reliable story about what that experience is like.
The fear of death is the fear of something that were never narrated.
The fear of death is the desire for death.
Lonelyness
Yes, we do fear lonelyness, partly because we been through it, and we know it is awful, also because that although we've been there so many times, we still have no idea what it is!
