Memory is stored in the brain and accessed through it.
When the brain is damaged, whether by disease, injury or substance abuse, it's capacity to store or access memory is compromised. Most horrifically, IMHO, is Alzheimer's where the victim gradually loses all their memories and can no longer recognize loved ones or remember who they are.
When we die, the brain is not merely damaged but completely destroyed.
What is your basis of hope that we will somehow retain the memories we had in life without the brain when we have such trouble accessing them when the brain is damaged?
IMHO, this all but rules out any afterlife scenario except perhaps reincarnation, and even then the person I was will be gone.
