My dad used to say something I found really helpful, especially back in the days when I considered myself atheist:

There are only two possibilities. Either you die and some part of you lives on, or you die and no part of you lives on. If the first is true, you don't really die, and there's nothing to fear. If the second is true, you'll wink out of existence and never know it, and there's nothing to fear.
