Idk… that sounds pretty harsh and cruel. While I (currently) believe there might not be a beyond, there might be a “something” where consciousness is stuck in its last moments… if someone already has an idea of it, and they are peaceful, I won’t change their mind… I’ll just be there for them, comfort them, let their brain create the image of that happy place so they can live “stuck” in hapiness during their last moments…
It’s pretty much the best I can hope for myself, too… convince myself that there will be something beyond just so my dying brain creates such image for me to “live” in during my last moments…
When I had suicidal ideation, I didn’t believe in anything beyond, so I started to wonder how dying would feel from my own POV… so “it will be a dream that, from my point of reference, will never end” is the conclussion I reached from hearing about dreams, coma dreams, and “saw life in front of my eyes” stories.
The brain putting itself into a dream that the consciousness just considers infinite… dying for the outside, but “living” forever in the inside

That’s pretty deep. I’ve heard of “Quantum Immortality” but never thought of it like this.
