Faith.  You have to believe in God and that your final place is heaven.

Hope.  Have hope because God is Merciful and Loving.

Charity.  Grow a love for God, so that more and more you want to be with Him.  So that on your death bed you will have a desire for the thick veil to be lifted so that you may directly view the Beatific Vision.  Charity is the most important of all for a good death.
"But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jn 3:18)."

"All sorrow leads to the foot of the Cross.  Weep for your sins."

"Although He should kill me, I will trust in Him"
