Fear! Its natural to have a fear of death.You don't know when or how.What will happen when you do die,will you know! All those things. Add to that fear of leaving behind your loved ones and not know how their lives will turn out. We all would like to think we are necessary of the world to keep turning.The reality is our families will adjust and get on with their lives.
So for many its far easier to go into denial and just not think or talk about it.
Unfortunately in a lot of cases this causes extra burdenes on the family when it happens.

I believe people act more as if they were invincible than they will never die. A girl might know that she has a good chance of being raped and/or killed if she goes with some strange man to a party, but doesn't think of it. Or a boy might think that he doesn't need a helmet when riding a motorcycle. It just seems more "it would never happen to me" type things.
I know I'm going to die, and I don't fear it. I fear my body aging and leaving my physical and mental skills decrepit and useless. So, I'm one of those "die young and leave a pretty corpse" people.

This comes from youth, thinking you have your whole life in front of you, so you can live it the way you want. You assume you will die when you're old. This is because death is still a controversy in this country, and many people are afraid that by even talking about it it makes them somehow closer to it, so people tend to shy away from death related concepts, henceforth causing us to put it out of our minds and forget aboutit, therefore we don't think about death even when doing dangerous things. All together it is tied to old superstitions, like "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." and the like, associating thought with real world action.

In my opinion it's the positive attitude towards life,tell me who wants to die?It's truth that one day all have to die, still no one thing about his death, every one think about his/her life, how to get ahead, how to be in a better position in life, how to fulfill own requirement and also how to help our near & dear one etc. If u want to live more u have to see the dreams and also u need to struggle to fulfill that dream.Better to be brave and face all the odd things come in ur way along with the faith that u'll get your goal in your way. as everybody's point of view is different for a particular thing. the day you will think that u'll die one day then it's showing that you are getting neagtive towards your life, leave this thought, live your days as all of us knew that our life span is not so much, but we 've to do much more in this limited time as no one can predict when one will die.Hope this helps u............

I'm not really sure if you are talking about after-life or just this life in general, if you edit your question or comment, I will edit this and try to answer you.
