I've noticed that people who fear death are mostly theists, and their theism is a way of coping with death. Consider it part of the survival instinct in that theism promises that when you die, your existence continues.
I've come to terms with my fear of death this way, "What was it like before you existed? Chances are it'll be just like that when you're dead."

"Just as a man who has fallen into a heap of filth ought to seek the great pond of water covered with lotuses, which is near by: even so seek thou for the great deathless lake of Nirvana to wash off the defilement of wrong. If the lake is not sought, it is not the fault of the lake."
