What helped me is the realization that your death already happened, it's just somewhere else. It's kind of some hippie bullshit but your mortality, fate, and probably how you're going to die (unless you decide to go off the rails to spite fate or something idk) are all set in stone, and there's nothing you can do about it because whatever machination that determines these things has already determined them.
The part about your life and method of death being set in stone might be hippie bullshit, but I think that frame of mind is valid and useful for accepting mortality. Your death has already happened, it's just happened in the future. Your life is a book and you can fill its pages, but the binding is finite.

if this is the case, who is to say you cant pick up a new book when you finish the current one?
maybe we are all just cosmic :LIB:raries, filling up the shelves of our being.
the true meaning of 'READ ANOTHER BOOK'
you've just invented reincarnation, welcome to buddhism or something
