It's perfectly normal to be afraid of death, I think most people are afraid of not existing after they die, it's ingrained into us at a deep level that we have little or no control over. However it's not healthy to obsess over it continually.
Just keep in mind that it's nothing you'll ever reconcile by thinking about it, you'll think yourself around in circles until you're a jibbering wreck, the best thing to do in my opinion is acknowledge that what we have is special and limited and try and make the most of it.
If you are unable to stop thinking of it naturally you'll probably find that this type of behaviour is a symptom of another (possibly completely unrelated) problem and it would be best to find out what that other problem is and address that, the worry should naturally subside. If the problem isn't obvious or you can't cope then seek help, there's nothing wrong with seeking help from others.
I think of death sometimes, the only way I can logically make any sense of it is to compare it to birth but in reverse. Most of us are terrified of not existing, but this is an emotional reaction and not logical, the universe near as we can tell has been around about 13.75 billion years and we've not existed for approximately 99.999999994% of that.
I rationalise being dead as being exactly like it was before I was alive, that brings me some peace because not having existed all that time before my birth doesn't bother me one bit. Try and enjoy life, find something that makes you happy and pursue it.
