Yes, scared as hell. Unfortunately I do not believe in an afterlife, so the nothingness I expect after death scares the hell out of me. Keeps me up some nights.
Actually you will not be there to experience the nothingness, so there's nothing to be afraid of. I can quote you Epicurus:
"Why should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?"
The process of dying, however, is terrifying.
Maybe this will help: "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones."
