I honestly don't want to believe that but, there's nothing else to indicate that there's an afterlife. And if anyone has any proof they're most likely wrong. And honestly, irrationally, I do fool myself into vaguely believing into the possibility to an afterlife or something beyond death, maybe to mitigate the fear of death. I'm still young, in my early 40s and currently am not afraid of death, but a conversation with my mom made me realize it's because it's quite far away and not likely anytime soon - excluding a sudden accidental death or some terminal disease I could be afflicted with at anytime. She was also carefree when she was young but as she's approaching her 70s she's now starting to feel an anxiety about ceasing to exist. It helps to believe in afterlife or even agnostic. Not sure why I got down-voted, but guess people on HN don't want to hear it.

Also LSD or mushroom trips for terminally ill patients are very promising in accepting death. I'll retort to that if it will be possible.
