The issue of death fear was historically(almost allways) solved by religion. Many people in the last century chose to be de facto atheist, which of course has its advantages but like the former also disadvantages. There is no solution to this phenomenon otside of religion.

Religion is absolutely not the only solution.

It's enough to just realize and come to terms with the fact that life eventually ends, and make sure to have fun while it lasts. Especially when the alternative is religion.
