Live now... Everybody faces death. You have to accept it as a natural part of life.
Your father did and he was a brave man. He had lived his life and he had accepted it was his time to go.
My father died 14 years ago and he knew it was his time. No hysterics just acceptance and some joy because he felt he could finally rest. He had worked so hard most of his life.

Personally, I don't fear it but I don't welcome it either.

Something to think about...

Do you realise how lucky we are? Only 100 years ago most children died before reaching their teenage years. That's about 6 in 10... 300 years before that it was 9 in 10!
Go and have a look for yourself. All of the old cemeteries are filled with child coffins.

99.9% of humane history has been mostly about real personal loss.

For the first time our modern generations can look forward to a long life with abundant nutrition and adequate health care.
And that has lead to one of the biggest problems we have... Food is so abundant a lot of us a obese to the point of being unhealthy.

Even in the third world they are living longer than anyone did 100 years ago. Sure things could be better but a lot of good things been achieved.
