How do we make ourselves content with what we have while we have it? How do we come to terms with life and death?

The first step for dealing with that is to ask "Why do you want to?".

"But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."
