There is much philosophy produced regarding death...as well as Freud and the death drive.....
there is a good book called " war is a force that gives us meaning" it deals with the bonds that are formed in death defying circumstances...and how once you have looked at death you can no longer return to the "normal world"
death is the most powerful link humans share....

Death is an interruption to life, like sleep or disease, only permanent. It is the end of our projects, an interference with them, not something to be integrated. This would be the case for both ourselves and those we love. Death is to be considered as a transition from this life to the life that really counts, eternal life.
The innate question: ?What remains after death? What becomes of the soul after the death of the body? Where is he gone? Does he still exist?? spontaneously arises in all minds. This is a momentous question which touches the hearts of all deeply.
The moment you see that one of your dearest relations is snatched away by the cruel hand of death you are struck with awe and wonder and begin to reflect within yourself. ?Where is he gone? Does he still exist? Is there a soul independent of body? He cannot be totally annihilated. His impressions of thoughts and actions cannot die.?

Death is the opposite of living. It is the ceasing of growth and function of the body. A stoppage, the end.
Why do we die. Why does the sun go down? Why does the rain fall? Why do fields of clover go to seed? What is harvest?
We die because it is a natural part of living.
I think that death isn't something to fear, if you accept it as part of life then you can look forward to it without apprehension, just a matter of time.
g-day!

Woody Allen had two answers to your question:
"I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens."
"I don't want to achieve immortality by my work; I want to achieve it by not dying."
And another thinker wrote,
"Death is just nature's way of telling you to slow down."
