The fact is, and I've said this many times before, we ARE going to die eventually. The human race, and all other races in the universe, are destined to endure this fate. Everything dies, but death is a natural part of life. It's what makes the world go round. Without death, the universe would be a horrible place (let alone Earth). Humans would exhaust all their resources, we'd run out of places to live, and imagine if infamous people such as Stalin had lived?
You can't go on worrying about it everyday. If you did, you'd never be able to move or continue with normal life. When you come close to death, you'll probably understand this fact and how precious life is.

Maybe some things we do are for nothing, but no thing ever is in vain. Things change constantly, that is evolution, and when something got sorted out from that process, it compares to a needed step on a ladder later steps are build upon, even if you do not look behind when climbing a ladder. Or better: a climbing net, with many different paths tpo go up possible, some climbers already have gone up higher, while others are clibming side by side (like we still see species on arth living alongside with us that nevertheless derive from another age that they survivded). Is see no final ends anywhere in universe - just constant transitions, and heaven and hell are states of mental evolution, on a racial as well as an individual level. examining our mind, we examine all universe, and the answer is written across the whole sky in the movement of the sun, the blow of the wind, and the sparkling stars scattered all around the firmamaent - and you seeing it, hearing it, feeling it, realising it;
that you perceive is the key to
what you perceive; not one part is hidden from you, it all is laid out for you to see and to understand. And when you consider how many complex and interdepending variables need to meet a fragile balance within a very small margin of tolerance, you hardly can claim that life and mind are just random results of otherways "dead" processes like big bangs or amino acids hit by a lightening - that is the most infantile answer I could imagine: a tool can be a causal cause (a nail being hammered ointo the wall), but it is not the origin of the idea behind (to hang up a picture). I must not refer to a creator - I just can conclude that matter has a self-organizing quality because matter is just an image, an expression of mind that already includes - like a hologram - all those unlimited ideas of mind that it could ever create, and the higher the order it forms, the more there is life searching to become aware of itself; and the more self-awareness in life, the more knowledge in mind there is. All futures and all options are already inherently included in the universe, and possibly create new ones endlessly, like if creating Indra's net of perfect pearls before it was hung up. In the end, the motor of the universe is it's quest to know itself. All holiness there is - is within you and around you. All you can do is to realise that - or to assume you know it better and construct a puppet yourself, to which you then pray - which also represents a needed, but past step of mental evolution: it then means that you got stuck back then.
Nevertheless, the truth surrounds you even then: always, everywhere, and you eventually rejecting it is part of it's reality.
Edit:
P.S. Indra'S net of pearls is a metaphor used in hindi and buddhist texts, describing the god Indra who in a cave created a net in which an unlimited number of shiny, perfect pearls are hung up and arranged in such a manner that every pearl sees and reflects every other pearl there is, ad infinitum. Games gods do play! :D
