I've come across thoughts about death mostly in Buddhist literature. This is a great introduction to the western Christian outlook on it. Thanks!

I also wanted to recommend Atul Gawande's excellent "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" to help get a more visceral understanding of death. He talks about how the human body starts degenerating as early as we hit 30, and paints a memorable picture of how every next moment is a moment closer to our death.
