I am in the same boat as the OP with regards to how I view death. I know some comfort themselves with spirituality (namely with concepts of the afterlife or a rebirth) and/or focus on their life so that they do not think of death; however, for me, even the possibility of losing consciousness (no awareness, no dreams, etc.) forever, because I no longer exist is maddening to think about. I try not to think about it, but when I do...oh boy...

Yeah, it's very difficult for me as well, I remember having a few spurts when it was especially bad where I was depressed for months and essentially had no motivation to do anything.
