Well it's simple, you lose everything you'll ever have/had, and everything you have, including relatives, memories, material possessions evidently, opportunities, and yourself

And it's not as bad as people make it to be. In fact once you're there as a matter of fact it really is nothing

Ultimately that's what happens

...

For some close relatives who stay behind, the weird part often is when they start to realize that in fact, they feel liberated by your death

Because death also does that, you're sad and all, or at least supposed to be... And at the same time you feel liberated, hence a sense of guilt, a permanent refusal to embrace that reality "No I must not, what's wrong with me, I loved my dad I can't be happy with his death, I'm not a scum!" Oh yes you are a scum, and that's 0K, it's fine, here have a tissue

And we will all have the corona btw, at this point it's a mathematical certainty, potentially turning into "murderers" of our own relatives

That, you have to prepare for that

For some reason, I doubt you have ever been dead.

Have you ever passed out/been knocked out? I guess you have, at least once in your life

What was it like, while you were out?

Same thing

That's how I perplexed my philosophy teacher once: Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" - but you don't think while passed out. The guy had nothing to answer but to move on and continue with the subject.

There was a guy once who fell into a coma after a car accident. He spent like a month in a coma, and then one day he woke up and the first thing he asked to the medical staff was to see his wife and children. Medical staff said nothing and left the guy to recover in his bed, the routine. Then the next day he asked again, and the next day. Then a doctor told him; You don't have a wife, you don't have children. You never did. And it was a total shock for the guy, because he was convinced he had a wife and 3 kids. He could recall everything, from is wedding, to the house they bought, home address, all the birthdays of his kids, school days, everything.

"I think, therefore I am"

It's a tricky one
