I won't tell you not to worry. I will advise you not to dwell on it.
From my point of view, the loss of a loved one means that I won't see them here anymore. But they'll be waiting with open arms in Heaven when I die. It sometimes is the thing that keeps me from totally freaking out. If you are a Bible reader, go to Matthew 6, start with the 25th verse and read to the end of the chapter. It doesn't deal with death and loss, but that particular passage always makes me feel better.
