If you want to get in details I simply think death is nothing. When you go to sleep each night, do you remember the moment you fell asleep? Would you know if you never woke up? I don't believe you would. To me, death is just sleep. You just never wake up to know you never woke up.

Based on that I can say, death isn't scary. Dying is. Knowing you are about to visit that unknown void. That is scary, but death itself? Just go to sleep...
