I think I'm more afraid of death of others than my own. Death of someone I know (close/distant) always daunts me and the closer they are, the longer it takes for me to get over it.
I don't fear my own death much, but just the thought of leaving behind unfinished business or unsaid words, that scares me. What if today's the last day on Earth and I said something terrible to a family member, then got shot a few hours later? That kind of situation would probably not do me well in the afterlife. I am not an avid believer of god, but I do believe that spiritually I will leave my physical body and end up...somewhere. So in my opinion of "fear of death" it's more of fearing that I don't live the life the way I think I should live. Which to borrow words from a song (forgot what it was, but I'll paraphrase here):
"Live each day as if it's your last,
Love one another as if you'll never meet again.
Greet each other as if it's the last person you'll see,
for you may never know when your time has past."
...or something like that... I don't know where I remember this from but it's stuck with me from somewhere.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
