You have free will.
Therefore you have the ability to choose by yourself what thoughts you think, what actions you take and what emotional reactions you get.
Which means that you can wake up in the morning, and without putting anything more in you than water, live a life free from stress, worry and fear.
The serenity prayer goes like this:
"God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
This is good advice, and you know that, but it's another thing to live by it in practice.
Accept that you can't change anything else than your thoughts with your thoughts. This is to stop thinking and stop trying to solve things with your thoughts.
There's only one thing to do: Find out what the best thing practically to do in your situation is, do that, and nothing more. After this the thinking is over.
The most usual scenario is that there is nothing to do to solve anything, because there is no problem, which means the thinking is over.
Less usual is that there actually is a problem to solve and that action has to be taken. Even really hard days often don't have a problem to solve, they're just really hard days with events outside of your control.
When you accept that you live in uncertainty, and stop trying to get rid of the uncertainty by "solving" it, the stress, worry and fear disappear. Wishing for things, including wishing for certain situations, leads to unhappiness in all moments except when you succeed. If you don't wish for anything you can't be unhappy, because you already have everything you need. If you have access to water you have everything you need as a human.
This goes for all situations, both the smallest and the biggest problems, death included. And it probably isn't death lurking around the corner this time either, because that's just what the stress, worry and fear try to convince you about every time.
