That which was never born can never die...
Water wets it not...
Fire burns it not...
Wind blows it not away
(The Upanishads)

"Matter/energy can be neither created nor destroyed..."

Hence, death is not a part of my reality. Transformation however is...

When I thought I was going to die I didn't have much problem accepting the idea. I remember thinking how funny it would be when they found me on the toilet. I remember thinking that I shouldn't think like that. Then I laughed at that thought. I just wanted to stop the anxiety. Death would have been preferable at that moment. Then I got better and didn't accept it anymore.

I'll worry about death when it finds me. I don't think it will be too difficult to accept at that moment.
