The first thing is you mostly have to give up being afraid of dying. Why?
Because it's something that is going to happen to each of us whether it is now, tomorrow or 1000 or 10,000 years from now.
It's going to happen you just don't know when.
Once you accept this then you can prepare for it psychologically by realizing you are already dead.
(Not physically dead psychologically dead).
This is likely easier for me than for most people because psychologically I have already died many many times already starting with whooping cough as a 2 year old and then concussion caused seizures at night sometimes between ages 10 and 15 years old.
It got to the point where I had to take physical risks to even believe I was still alive and sometimes this scared other people who aren't like me in this way.
But, as an older man now having survived everything to age 77 I find that if you can remain calm even when you might be facing death often you can survive almost anything and keep staying alive if you want to.
The biggest thing really is your attitude about all this.
You might go to sleep crying because things are not good but if you die to God each night you wake up as someone new each morning.
So, each morning there is hope of a better and new life with God.
Also, staying calm and rational allows you to make better decisions regarding your health ongoing.
For example, if you allow yourselves to panic this just hastens your death.
So, if you want to live for your family and friends it might be important to read how I stayed alive through many bouts with almost dying the last 77 years (mostly from 2 to 15) and then from 50 to 77. In between I had pretty good health.
By God's Grace
