Has Alan Watts got a video for people that fear death, not for themselves primarily, but because they worry about their family? And how they'll cope?

Very true mate.That’s mostly because people never do a moment’s exercise again for the rest of their life after turning 30 (some from the day of their last PE lesson at school!).
Humans are idiots, why they don’t look after themselves throughout life to the point they can’t look after themselves in old age is ridiculous.
My Grandad didn’t retire from his job as a removals man until he was 75, and is still going strong at 85.
Fauja Singh was still doing marathons after he turned 100
The world’s oldest marathon runner breaks another record
Fauja now 109, no longer runs but still holds the title for the oldest marathon runner The world’s oldest marathon runner breaks another record Sikh Superhero Fauja Singh immortalised in children’s book When it comes to role models in sport,asiana.tv
I know lads in their 20s who’d barely able to run for a bus.
There's so many overweight people in their fifties and sixties, they're so unfit they can hardly bend down.

i stagger a bit when i first get up but i can touch my toes, losing my fat belly has helped, ha
He has many lectures about death and acceptance of it , and about life.
This is a short one explaining basically why we have to die
I dont know any particular video where he talks about how the people that love you can deal with your death but if they were to listen to his lectures, and unserstand , it would be easier for them to accept it.
Alan says life is just a show , and you are the main character, you should let go of your worries and anxiety and just play the game of life, as there is nothing to win and nothing to lose , it's all just an experience and you should enjoy it until the end. Thats the purpose of it.
Do you have an illness or suicidal thoughts ? I am asking because of your question.
If you need someone to talk to , you can message me. I'll be glad to listen and help if I can.

Oh yeah I'll divulge my inner most thoughts to a guy called 'Nihilist' :)
Seriously though, it's not something I've heard people talk about.. we can pretend life is a dance and all that and we shouldn't pity our loved ones ever, even when we die because.. well, we can't help dying, and soon enough it's gonna be our daughters and sons turn and that's the circle.. someone said 'the thing I fear more than death is life' kind of makes sense
