I try to see my eventual death as a good thing. The impermanence of all things helps make sure that the universe and all its particulars (like humanity) continually have the opportunity to reinvent themselves. It's like the ultimate failsafe against our world becoming locked into some kind of permanent hellish state. There's always the moments of instability caused when elements decay and vanish.

Of course its silly to try to pretend like there's nothing sad or bad about death either. But I can think about it as a hard sacrifice that I'm ultimately happy to make. There are other reasons too but this is the one on my mind today.
