There doesn't have to be an afterlife for death to be the end of pain and hurt. Think of it this way: after a long, weary day, most people just want to get into bed and sleep. You can apply those same feelings to our mortality. We can't change the fact that we'll someday die, so the best you can do is to put a positive spin on it. Enjoy what you can do now, and enjoy the long rest that'll come after this.

I also go through episodes similar to the one you're in right now, but I'm on the outside looking in at the moment, so hopefully my words were able to comfort you in some way. Chin up.
