What bothers me about death is that it will bring life's joys and good experiences and all unrealized aspirations to an end. The future condition of being dead doesn't bother me. I'm told there were some 13.7 billion years that elapsed before I existed, and I don't recall having a sense of dread about not being alive during that time--so I'm not worried about not being alive for the rest of it all. But I do have anxiety and sadness about losing life.
The solution, I think, is to die doing something you love, or in the name of something you love - "The best people renounce all for one goal..."
