I think first, one should be thankful that he or she has had some meaning in their life. So many have lived their lives without recognizing it's worth or meaning.
Hopefully, your cache may take away some of (if not all) of your apprehension about where you're heading.
For quite a few years, there was an old timer named Jake who lived across the street from me and I spent many an hour setting with him on his front porch sharing a couple beers and some stories. He was one of those guys who had been everywhere and done everything and was always welcome wherever he went. He had a million friends.
Well, I had the honor of spending time in a hospice with him when it was his time to go, any many a deep conversation we had about that too. He was not at all afraid to face it. Although he had some questions about his future that I really couldn't answer, he was not at all concerned about his past. I think it was his enjoyment of life and his relationships with the people he came in contact with that gave him his meaning in life. In fact he kept it up, right until the last.
I stood by his bed one day and he opened his eyes and said his last words, "How's the Kids?"
It was truly an honor to know this man

If you were a Pharaoh, you could take yous cache and couple of servants with you.
For you and me? hope there is enough in the cache to pay for the last rights.

My little cache of Meaning is one of the few things that I can tuck away in my breast pocket and take with me. It is gleaned from life's detritus and pertinent only to myself. All others will have to assemble their own.

Hopefully you've led a productive life and there'll be no regrets when your time comes.I think if you've always lived knowing that nothing lasts forever it wont be as painful.

Hope you've been the best you could be and say goodbye to everyone you love. Other then that do everything you ever wanted to do so that you can go to your grave with no regrets.

If it has any value (the cache of Meaning), then it doesn't remain mine alone. And if not, there's only-
Adieu.

Hopefully you have lived in a way that others will remember.

I will pray to myself that 'Let me not trouble anyone'.
