I've always thought the same thing, when you're dead you're dead. It stops. Nothing happens. A total absence of you. You're not there, you're dead.
What's the problem with that?

Well, it's obviously what happens, I agree.
When my girlfriend died my senior year of high school, I knew she was gone. I even tried to see if I could make myself believe the whole afterlife thing, but I couldn't even come close. It's just so obviously not true.
Better to see reality for what it is, in my opinion.
It is sad, though. Sometimes I wish I could be in denial and happier...
