For most people, that's reality. It's not overcoming that dread you should be worried about, it's living with it and learning to manage it.

I accepted that:

1.) Before I was born, I existed for an infinite amount of time without discomfort.

2.) After death, I can expect the same.

3.) That being terrified of death is natural for a living thing - survival of the fittest.

4.) The inevitable problems determining the fate of our universe are no longer relevant after death because pain or understanding ceases to exist.

Might as well enjoy your life. If you're lucky, time is cyclical and you get to live again in a few hundred decillion years or so.

Embrace it, the world is an absurd place but nothing matters unless you think it does, you will die and life is only meaningful if you give it meaning. Good luck. Also read albert camus myth of syphilus and The Stranger, he made amazinf absurdist literature
