Tim, I believe that most everyone has these thoughts sometime in their life (whether they admit to it or not).
I have felt the same way in the past, and the best way to get over it is just to focus on the now. I know it's hard to be motivated at times when everything seems so pointless and empty. You start to wonder if anything really matters and depression sets in.
Don't let yourself dwell on those thoughts. I dealt with these feelings by focusing on improving my life for me. Whether there is an afterlife in the end or not, none of us can know for sure. And yes, everything will wear away, and the time we were given will be left for the world. Relatives will die, but we all have to cope with this reality, Tim.
The best way to cope with this is simply to spend more time with your family and friends. While it may seem like you'll only get closer to them and losing them will hurt more, that isn't the case at all. If you've spent plenty of time with a loved one who is put to rest, there's a sense of completeness. And while dying before ones time may seem abrupt and bring great sadness, your loved ones who die of old age are most likely ready to go. When you get to certain age in your life and you've experienced enough of the world to satisfy yourself, there will come a time when you feel a sense of peace and accomplishment.
You will be ready to face death one day, when your body is worn and your mind is strong. But you have much time before that day comes, Tim. Use your time now so that you may know that you've spent it wisely in your youth.
Good luck, my friend.
i wish i knew what to tell you to make you feel better, but i really have no idea. the thing about death is there's no way of knowing until it happens to you, and it unfortunately happens to everyone. the most i can say is just try to enjoy what you have going because you don't know about anything else, and that's terrifying i agree...but no one can give you a real answer to this because everyone knows just as much as you do.
