How do the atheists here deal with the prospect of eventually dying?

I'm 61. I have lived over half my life. I'm closer to the end than to the beginning. I like being alive and I don't want to die. I feel like I have not accomplished much in my life. I feel depressed whenever I think about death.
I'm not religious and I don't believe in heaven. That makes it even more depressing.
It seems like religious beliefs and the idea of "going to heaven" makes it easier to deal with death.
How do you feel about the idea that your life will end?
How do you deal with it?
