If we didn’t have silly hopes of an eternal life built up from a young age I doubt this would even be an issue. The “crushing certainty” wouldn’t be crushing unless we’d been deluded into thinking we could avoid it to begin with. Certainly for me, “death is part of life; accept it and get on with living” has never seemed particularly problematic.
