> I can’t get over the fact that we all must die.

This probably won't help, but I find this expressed rather well in the poem Dirge Without Music by Edna St. Vincent Millay [0].

Perhaps the note of anger in that poem is a helpful accompaniment to the despair for me. I can't win, but I can express my disapproval and temporarily resist by attempting to live a good life.

Look after yourself and others.
