At the end of The Stranger Meursault finally comes to a conclusion of his life. Knowing that he is sentenced to life he realizes that all people at some point are going to die at one point. Meursault seems not to be afraid of death and this was probably the best choice he could have made to calm himself before his execution. I don't believe Camus was trying to make us all feel that death is normal but that we need to prepare for it if we get the chance. He wants to show us that death is a normal part of life and at some point we will have to face it. There are many different translations of what people could get from Camus, I just see it as a warning that death is normal.
