I don't know how to do it. I am so terrified of dying that I haven't been able to sleep well for a very long time. Everything I do seems shallow and hollow - so how does everyone just keep on moving forward, keep setting goals, keep making progress?

I don't know your age, but I can assure you that you'll get used to the inevitability of death as life goes on.
Sure, there's nothing you can do about it and it's terrifying now, but you'll learn to just not care about it.
The universe is everything, everywhere and always, and you'll just come back as another sentient being, because that's how the system proves it's working. It's all an eternal cycle.
Everything will be fine.

Comforting fairy tales is how most adults handle fear of death.
