After your body dies your soul lives on. It will go into an eternal body that can never be destroyed to live eternally in the location you chose when you were alive. It is natural to want a happy ending, but life is just the beginning. If you do not choose to follow Jesus now, then your eternity will be without him in a place you do not want to be.
You may try not to think about death. It may be scary because it is the unknown. At the same time you know that it will happen. Everything that lives dies. It is just a matter of when, where, and how. The only thing you have control over is where your are going and if you will give your family peace in knowing that they will see you again.
Death is the consequences for each person living outside of God's design for them. Rebellion equals death. Rebellion without submission against God equals eternal separation from God. However, it doesn't have to be that way. Death can be celebrated after a good life when you know you are joining God. You can glorify God now and eternally.
If you choose to follow Jesus in faith, not tradition or duty, then you body will die but your soul will be resurrected like Jesus was physically. You may suffer some in life, but your eternal body will never suffer if you are with Jesus. Your eternal body will be perfection. Death means victory, peace, and hope.
If you reject Jesus now then your eternity will be very different. You will have an eternal body that will never be consumed by the flames. You will live eternally in an inferno with no escape or hope. You will never have the opportunity again to have a relationship with God. You don't have to chose this path.
