Just accept it. And there might be some sort of afterlife when you die so in a way you're mind really won't be dead.

That creates an alternate problem that I'd have though, if I believed in an afterlife: why bother coping and dealing with life's problems if I can just end it and go somewhere else where I don't have to worry?

I guess you're not a parent yet :p How does the worry stop in the afterlife. Wouldn't you still be worried for your children, partner other loved ones, yet now you can do nothing to help them anymore? I never understood that about the idea of heaven. How can it be heaven if you're still worried about your loved ones...

The only real freedom is non existence...
