There are some great replies in this thread; I hope they've brought you comfort.
As for dying, I can tell you to not be afraid. I've been there a few times, and it's the most peaceful feeling you'll ever feel. Slow, golden, slipping.
That said, even I "fear" dying still. It's a scary prospect to our flesh, hardwired. But once you're on the way over the threshold, it's all Peace.
