Broaden your horizons! There are many things in the world to think about besides death. Life doesn't last forever so start enjoying it now. Take dance lessons and dance, dance, dance! Buy a bike and ride, ride, ride! Hike a mountain, Breathe in the fresh air! Visit an orphanage or a nursing home and realize how blessed you are. Begin to help the needy, the homeless, the least, the lost, the lonely. Develop a servant's heart and learn how to really care about and for others. Go on a mission trip. Get busy living life as a positive instead of a negative in this world. "Be the best that you can be".

You just have to go through the phase you're going through. What usually happens when people go through "new awareness" phases is they get a little obsessed for a while and eventually come around to realizing there's no point thinking about it.
For now, allow yourself to "go wild" and think about it for a good long time. Find a way to come around to realizing that if you spend your time thinking about it you'll lose yet more time. Assume you'll go peacefully in your sleep when you're 110 years old. The truth is if a person gets sick Nature tends to numb them a little or otherwise give them what they need to be able to deal with it. If people go suddenly they don't have time to suffer or think about it. If they died when they're 100 they've usually worked things out and reached being at peace with it.
So think up a storm, and then try to get your mind off it. Even if you don't, though, our minds have a way of just getting sick of worrying about stuff and stopping.
Maybe you shouldn't even be driven to live each day as if its the last. Sometimes there's something nice about living each day as if we'll live forever. Think about it: If you're relaxed and just have coffee and chat with your friend about nothing for an hour in a way that would make a better last day than being acutely aware that time would run out at midnight and deciding to spend it sky-diving.

In psychological point of view, you need to find something worth to live for, make your life more valuable, make every day fruitful.
In religious view, (my view as well), go to church, be a Christian, and you will find the truth of life. God makes life and he wants us to glorify him in every way, the reward is eternal life.

Don't be afraid of it. Everyone is gonna die eventually, just think Carpe Diem "Seize The Day".
