I find some peace in knowing that it will all be over at some point but it does feel a bit disappointing knowing that I shall eventually totally cease to exist.
No afterlife means I ain't goin to Hell. That was one of my greatest fears (no, more like a certainty) when I was growing up.
I should clarify my fear is not of there being no afterlife-my fear is of facing death again. I've done it three times in last eight years-car accident, leukemia and heart failure. The pain and loss of control of your body functions is what scares me. Been there done that.
