My grandfather died, one day i was talking to him, pretending to laugh at his old jokes and a few days later i saw him again, this time inside a coffin with his lifeless body hard and cold.
I loved him very much and i miss him a lot, and ever since he died i couldn't stop thinking about death. My family is religious and they all talk about him being in heaven or whatever now, but i'm not religious, i don't believe that crap about paradise or hell, i don't believe in afterlife, i think this life is the only one we have and the moment our brain activity completely stops, we cease to exist forever.
I just don't know how to deal with the fact that i'll die too one day, with the fact that no matter what i do in life, how long i live, what i accomplish or what i leave behind, i too will cease to exist one day and this body that now writes this post will become a cold carcass that will then be buried six feet under for maggots to eat until it becomes a pile of bones.
And the bittersweet part is not being able to know WHEN or HOW your life will end.
What do you guys think about this? How do you feel about your death?

Pol was right

Death is just going back to the way you were in 1700.

It'll get better once you turn 18.
I haven't experienced a great loss like this yet Op, but, I do often think about how my loved ones will die and so will I one day.
I think it's safe to say that everyone has these thoughts. And they shouldn't shy away from it. It's normal. It shouldn't be seen as abnormal, because this is a part of life.
Op, you should watch AskAMortician's videos on YouTube. The channel is produced by a mortician who also happens to be the head of The Good Death. She answers people's questions about her practices, talks about death in other cultures and talks about coming to terms with facing our own death.
Her jokes can be a bit cheesy at times but I really like her attitude and how she explains how to confront these thoughts. I hope this helped.

Eh, freedom from all pain, fear, sadness, and all sensation.
It sounds pretty nice to me, like the place depressed people go when they try to sleep all day.
Oh! and to add onto >>18142583
here is a perfect video about what Op is concerned with. Again, I really hope this helps.

Oh. Well thanks Anyways.
I don't know, I don't see a point in thinking about it. At the very least, I have a few seconds left to live. At most, a few decades. That's a wide margin of time and I won't be assed to worry about my death when I've got too much in life to worry about.
You're gonna die someday, yeah. Everything you did, everyone you loved -- gone. It sucks, I guess, but it is what it is. Might as well enjoy all these things while you can.
