I have a rather complex theory on deatrh, and how you should live your life. It's rather complex, though, so it'll take some explaining.

First of all, after death, there is nothing. No afterlife, no thought, no nothing. Therefore, death would be the ultimate form of relaxation, and there is no reason to fear death, as long as you're ready to accept it when you you die. And you are only ready to accept it, when your mind and conscience is completely cleared of all regret, shame, embarassment, guilt, and sadness. Therefore, you should respect your moral values and make peace with your sins when you do end. This can be done by either performing no actions for which you feel remorse, or by self-justification, in which you repent externally or internaly, until your actions no longer bother you. You've made amends. Of course, some people, such as criminals, may feel no remorse for crime and such. It takes somebody who feels the need to remove individuals like that from society to be at peace with themselves to balance the scale and maintain a circle of counter-values to maintain peace within the world. And this is the meaning of life, which will only become clear at the time or your death, when your conscience weighs out.
