No need to try to overcome death.
You were just born by chance. There is no need to seek 'meaning' or 'value' in life. Life is like crossing a river in a boat called 'self'. It is only a tool for the duration of the crossing.
'Self' is like a boat that we must tentatively use in order to exist in the world. As long as we are in this world, we must ride. That is the boat called "I". Even if you don’t want to, you cannot live without getting into that boat.
Many people believe that the boat itself is also valuable. However, the boat is valuable because it can cross the river, not because the 'boat itself' is valuable. If the tool is no longer useful, it is acceptable to throw it away. The boat is also disposable. If it is no longer worth it, it should not be at all regrettable to abandon the boat. So when you get across the river and life comes to an end, there is no need to be afraid or sad. You can quickly descend to the other side of the river without any unresolved feelings. It is said to be "an irreplaceable life", but in the end it's all in our own minds.
What is the greatest task in life is to die. The reason why it is such a big task is that no one knows what "death" is. If you know what death is, you can do something about it. But we don't know what the big task is at all, and as long as we are alive, there is no way of knowing.
The most popular image of death is that of going somewhere other than this world. The story goes that those who do good go to heaven and those who do bad are sent to hell. Because you are 'you' from birth, even after your body is gone, your 'you' continues somewhere other than here, and a transformed you remains. We all have that illusion.
The Buddha maintains an attitude of the “unanswerable questions” regarding the afterlife.'We don't know if there is an afterlife. We don't even know what will happen" is the only answer of Buddha. At this point, however, one thing is clear. There is no doubt that everything becomes meaningless there.
No need to worry. We can all 'die' without doing anything special. So you don't have to try to overcome death. Nor is there any need to seek 'meaning' or 'value' in the end of a life that was just born by chance.

We know that death no longer has any power over Christ. He died and was raised to life, never again to die.

to die
morir
My lawn mower died. It looked like a heart attack (‘motor attack’?): It suddenly jumped up, made an ‘AH!’ sound mid-air, and fell down on its back. Dead.
Imagine the Grim Reaper looking into the mirror and not seeing anything. Out of frustration, he smashes the mirror with his scythe.
Remember: morbid
Patriots always talk of dying for their country.
Los patriotas siempre hablan de morir por su país.

"It was a full sheet of parchment and, knowing her and her hatred of anything not perfectly efficient, he knew that she would have intended to write more to him. Yet all that the letter contained was her name signed as beautifully as ever, a single blot that might have come from a tear, and six words:
‘Now go. As I say go.’ "
From "To Die" by Moiraine (Rowyndodendron) on AO3
No words! Just... I'm failing to express how hard this hits.
The way my throat started to feel tight... That's with every story! Not crying or anything...
The emotional impact of just several words. And the meaning behind them! fuck this is powerful writing.
I found these stories the last couple of days and I can't express how thankful am I for them... I thought they were new. How did I miss them, when I read at least several of the others ?! Hold up, I know how... Nevermind...
But my god...

Family problems- And they just make me more anxious and I don't have anyone to talk to, mama. And then I get so tired and worn out...
