My wife has this horrible idea that when you die, you expire, like batteries (Not the rechargeable kind).  That everything just shuts off.  I tried reasoning with her that her assertion is hopelessly false because in order for nothing to exist anymore you must be aware of this so you must still be conscious.

I personally think when we die, our physical manifestation "expires", but our "spirit" still lives on, like you're stuck in your own head.  

I also find it kind've odd that she still lingers on these thoughts, and has so for many years.  I got over the "What if I didn't exist" train of thought when I was around 8-10.

So what do some of you guys think happens when we kick the bucket? 


I don't want to think about it.
