Death: This is what happens when we die:

  1. Our family and loved ones figure out what to do with our bodies and plan a funeral/memorial.
  2. Our "possessions" and "belongings" are then spread around to friends and family, and given to our beneficiaries.
  3. Our memory lives, but that's about it. Our physical forms are done. No more. And the loss is like a hole in our loved ones' lives.

All of that stuff we've been working for -- success, big cars, fame, money, private jets, blah, blah, blah -- is gone. All totally meaningless
