> What about the fact that my corpse is going to rot

Thinking about rotting corpses is a time-honored Buddhist tradition -- from 
Theravada meditation practice (e.g., Visuddhimagga) to tantric graveyard 
rituals.


>or thinking about my loved ones...

Thinking what about them, exactly?

You are not denying the factoid of death -- but the non-continuance of an 
indescribable "you". Or maybe you don't read what you write...
