Not sure I've answered this yet. Losing my partner. I overcame it by losing him. We always survive. Time marches on. You learn to accept reality. You don't have to like it, but you do have to accept it and move on. You look back at first, which makes moving forward slow, but eventually, you look back less and less until it's not as painful anymore and you begin to see light ahead again. I think the best way to overcome fear is to come out of the other side seeing that you can survive.
