i personally am absolutely terrified of the thought that- after death, there is nothing. most nights I lay awake just worrying about it, so usually I try to comfort myself in the thought that there is *something* after death. could be anything really and id be happy to still have a consciousness of some form. for me the idea of death just being nothing, an endless black void, is terrifying. you no longer see, you no longer think, you no longer feel, you no longer see. you know nothing. really scary, at least for me.
