I'm afraid of death

Hello! 

I succeeded in beating an existential crisis with philosophy (free will) but I'm still scared of death in spite of Epicurus and stuff like that. I generally beat my fears through reasoning but this one is the hardest by far (it was one of my first fears as a child when I was around 3 when my grandpa died). 

What scares me the most is not being, not existing, just not be here or there.

I read some things about Parfit's account of personal identity and it seems to be reassuring to me. I mean from what I understand, my yesterday self died, and I'm going to die by going to sleep etc. Maybe I should read Reasons and Persons. 

So, I'd like some insights about this issue that may help me! Thanks in advance!

Great question. Heidegger is quite good on death. Death is the experience that FORCES you into a radical re-valuation and examination of life and its meaning. Try to remember that death is the limit experience forcing you to confront life. You won't necessarily find a "solution" to this problem, but your search might change the context and meaning of the problem.
