    Abstract: 
    The current study has been done to discover a comparison between death anxiety, loneliness and attachment to God among the people with cancer, people with heart disease and healthy people. The statistical population include 612 people with cancer, 210 people with heart diseases and 40 healthy people. To collect the data, Templar death anxiety, UCLA loneliness and Beck and Mc Donald`s questionnaires were used. The statistics related to the three analysis of one-variable variance showed a significant difference in averages of all three variables after Benefroni`s correction. LSD follow-up test results show that the average score of the loneliness among people with cancer is significantly higher than people with heart disease and healthy people. The average score of the attachment to God among the people with cancer and the people with heart diseases is higher than that of healthy people. Also the death anxiety average score of the people with cancer is significantly higher than the people with heart disease and healthy people.
