Answer: First of all, it is not the end of your real life. There is only one real life and that Life is the Life of God. And so it is that your personal sense of life has no real existence and the answer to how should I behave is that you should ponder on this Truth.
There is no death, no end of life, in the kingdom of God. The dictionary defines death as the end of life and that would be true if we had a life of our own to die. But Jesus confirmed the Truth that there is no life separate and apart from the Life of God when he said "call no man on earth your father, there is but one Father above". And so the Golden Key to your question is to "stop thinking about the end of your imaginary life, and think about the Life of God instead".
Otherwise you will be missing out on the most beautiful and fulfilling miracle of Life that is the source of your very existence. Think about that life that said "I have come to give you Life and Life more abundantly". Think about that Life that said "It is my pleasure to give you the kingdom of God and all that I have is thine and that all that I am you are". Let It take possession of your mind and consciousness.
Feel It's love, It's strength, It's power, It's presence, It's wisdom. Realize the oneness of God and that because of that oneness you have entered into a new world where you are living in the infinite divine creative intelligence of the universe. You are now the prodigal son. You have returned to your Father's house.
