This might be weird, but reading horror stories has helped me accept my mortality. In some works of fiction, eternal life is a cruel state of affairs, such as in "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" and certain entries of the SCP Wiki. Reading that kind of material can help you think of death as a privilege granted to us by nature.
I also sometimes listen to songs about the nature of death.

Other than that, take a modicum of comfort in the fact that a variety of companies are willing to vitrify your corpse whenever you die. If you sign up with a company like Alcor before your death and die in a hospital that's affiliated with them -- really not that difficult -- they might be able to have you revived a century or more later. It would be kinda like going to Heaven, except WAY cooler.
