I'm afraid of my parent's dying one day, how do I cope with such thoughts?

I'm currently dealing with it, but I don't really know what advice to give you. When you've been in a situation long enough, you just kind of accept it. It doesn't make it easier (and it shouldn't be easy), but you do find the strength to cope with it, bit by bit.
Someone famous was quoted as saying, "Take no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take care of itself. Sufficient onto the day are the evils thereof." Or something close to that.

Consider your own mortality. Puts everything into perspective. ;)

Sometimes, I have the thought like that and I really, really scared! But then I told myself, everything will change and there is nothing will stay with us forever. Until that, we have to cherish precious moments that we have with our parents. Maybe they will not be with us anymore, but our memories with them will stay forever in our heart and our mind.

Enjoy them for as long as they're here?

That concern is very realistic. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it except enjoy them (and everyone else close to you) while you can. We're all in the same boat.

I've been through that at 15 and in my 20s with my parents. Anyone can go at anytime and so try to put those anxieties at the back of ur mind and enjoy and embrace them while they are here if u can 🖒

Stop having them. Some things are inevitable, why spend time in the future when you should be spending time here in the present and making the most of them now.
And, on the bright side, you could die before they do. So stop dwelling on the 'what if's,"
