Our brains are wired for defense mechanisms for not getting too depressed about death (hence: religion, ghosts, spirits). I mean evolutionary speaking, with our intelligence, we have to. Our lives just wouldn't be productive worrying about death curled up in a fetal position listening to some U2.
Things should be a lot simpler.
At the ripe old age of 36, I've lost all 4 grandparents, both of my parents, my sister, several great aunts & uncles, an uncle, a nephew, a close cousin and several friends growing up.
Needless to say, I've seen so much death in my lifetime I came to terms with it a long time ago. I just hope it's quick and as painless as possible.
God Bless you SpursWoman.

See the problem lies in death itself. Near Death Experiences are false pretenses. If the mind is still able to function and you remember something, your mind is still working even if it took a break. Only way to explain non-existence is to be existant. A paradox indeed.
a philosopher once said:
"Here ... is the view at issue: When we die, what’s next is nothing; death is an abyss, a black hole, the end of experience; it is eternal nothingness, the permanent extinction of being. And here, in a nuts , is the error contained in that view: It is to reify nothingness—make it a positive condition or quality (for example, of “blackness”)—and then to place the individual in it after death, so that we somehow fall into nothingness, to remain there eternally. "
another good quote:
How do we know about death, when we don't even know about life"
It's not so much that you WILL go out. It's worrying about how you go out.
Are you sure they'd dispose it??
