According to Buddha

I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.

think i’ll go out to alberta, weather’s good there in the fall
i got some friends that i could go to working for
still i wish you’d change your mind,
four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
all those things that don’t change, come what may
if the good times are all gone, and i’m bound for moving on
i’ll look for you if i’m ever pass this way
