Tenemos miedo a la muerte.

[littleladyofthehouse]

English Translation

We are afraid of death.

Can you say, “Tenemos miedo DE la muerte” also? Or is it always “tener miedo a”

[Anxos]

I would say that the nuance is this:

• miedo de la muerte: general consideration, most common use
• miedo a la muerte: actual fear when actually facing it
