Dying is gonna be like sleep, a deep unconscious sleep

Recently one of my moms friends son died in an accident at the age of 24 so it got me thinking about death. I am turkish(so english is my second language sorry if i do bad) living in an islamic culture but me and my family we never have much faith in general so i consider myself as an atheist. When we heard the news my brain stopped. I knew that person and suddenly he’s gone forever. You can’t do anything about it. When you so busy with life going on you never think about death but its the elephant in the room and finally when you really face it it becomes terrifying. To my opinion if someone is a true believer it would be a little bit easier to digest someones death because you can easily calm yourself thinking about afterlife. But when you don’t have a faith it is just nothing. You re just an animal on a floating rock in space and it doesn’t matter if you die. That feeling made me devastated i couldn’t sleep for days thinking about dying and i watched some videos about optimistic nihilism. Which is an idea if nothing matters you can experience life freely you can do anything you want and build the life you like just like playing a game that you know will end. That really helped me. I still have nightmares time to time but i always think about this and it helps me calm down. You don’t have to be afraid of dying. You feel nothing when sleeping you are unconscious so why worrying? Just do the things you like, love yourself take good care of yourself. Do this for yourself not because of some bearded guy told the people a bazillion years ago. Heaven really is a place on earth. We deserve this, every living being deserves this… So that was my opinion..🫠 thank you for reading have a great day
