Fear of death

[ThinkingTom]

Anyway, I was wondering what anyone here would suggest I do to overcome this fear of mine because its always in the back of my head bothering me. Being dead doesn't scare me, dying doesn't scare me (Not sure why) but the fact that it lasts for eternity is what scares me. I know once I'm dead I won't have any consciousness or realize time passing but now that I'm alive and well that bothers me. People have told me that acceptance is the key but I'm having a real hard time accepting it, could someone give me some advice or something along the lines? This has gone on for to long.

I guess you'd have to clarify further as to how you do not fear death but fear the fact that it's eternal. If you are dead, why does it matter for how long?

Because it doesn't end, just the concept of eternity is what scares me. I know this probably sounds really stupid from your point of view but just the fact that once I'm dead I won't get another go at life. I guess its because there are so many things I want to try and experience but 80-100 years (If lucky) isn't enough time for them all., We all have once giant timer that eventually runs out, thinking about this is wasting my time and that's what annoys me I think.

The only thing that comforts me slightly is knowing that even though my consciousness might be lost but parts of me will be part of this universe for basically eternity. Gosh I wish reincarnation was real so then I wouldn't have to face eternity!
