It's a depressing thought, and one that's extremely difficult to grasp properly, but hey, better than eternal damnation for having committed a few sins. :v (but wayyyyyyy worse than eternal paradise)
It's really not possible to know anything about it yet, though. Once you die, you're dead, and there's no coming back from that to tell people about it. Memento mori and all that jazz. Would it be neat if there was some kind of non-terrible afterlife? Absolutely, but i personally wouldn't count on it.
Exactly bro, I have a lyric I wrote once that exactly replicates the theory put forward here:
"Well, if there's nothing there after death,
Then I guess it's just the same as the time before I was here,
So Imma get me a beer, sit and dissipate all of the fear, inner veneer, bring it all here, listen with ears"
The last bit is just irrelevant flow, but the previous lines explain what I think of the afterlife.
There's going to be nothing yet that's NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, since you're not worried about all of the billions of years you missed BEFORE your birth, then you shouldn't be worried about all the eventuating years to come after you die.
