In the Upanishads, there is the idea that the universe's various levels of abstraction are all isomorphic to each other. Thus, although local human patterns may be dying out everyday, the patterns that control these patterns (or the metapatterns), are still "alive", at a cosmic level. Death is no problem; in fact, it is the end to all problems. In terms of Hindu philosophy, fear of death arises from nonacceptance and ignorance of/towards reality. Fear of someone else's death arises out of attachment to that person. Death is also a very "novel" experience, and out-of-body experience stories make me even more curious.
