It's probably not the best way to overcome death in the short term either (as fear often leads to precisely the thing we wish to avoid - cue the gazelle being spooked by a lion - directly into an ambush by the rest of the lions).
Perhaps, as a suggestion, you should explore why death frightens you, and work -in this life...while you have it- to overcome those things - rather than wait or wish for a god to save you? This is what I mean by getting things done when you stop looking for phantoms. When you really consider it, the phantoms are irrelevant -even if they were real. The belief offers you nothing which cannot be better addressed in it's absence.
