Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
Bless me Lord my soul to take.

And then there is the whole question of sailing without control into the great beyond after we die. You religious types say, no problem. We non-religious types say, "Yikes!"
I went through that in my early 30s.I think its a stage some folks go through.I don't think about it anymore.Just live everyday like it is your last,and be kind to everyone ,even if they are not to you.That way when it is your time to go you have no regrets.

Getting really feeble, and then ending up on the floor of my apartment,alone, or ending up in an ambulance heading towards a nearby hospital scares me. Dying, losing the ability to breath without help scares me.
I'm not trying to be morbid. Death is freaking scary.

The whole death thing scares the heck out of me. If you aren't close to it, or you are a member of a very soothing religion, you don't understand what I am saying.
Death is scary. Unless you are not awake.

Well, look at it this way.
If you weren't afraid of Death, then you can do cool stuff like this...
