Practically speaking, "life" is the product of mental activity. Your brain stops, life vanishes. Plain and simple. We're just back to the same non-state we were in for billions of years, before our mind started its work.

A painless, sorrowless, sinless non-world. Not exactly a paradise, since the good stuff is lacking. But the closest thing to it, since suffering as been completely unrooted.

Treasure your loved ones while they are alive, whether they are old or young. But don't mourn them more than necessary afterwards. Remember that they are better off than you are.
