How depressing
I would also rather my family and friends accept that I'm dead and gone, and that they'll never see me again. I would also hope that this acceptance would help them to adjust and grow as loving and productive human beings, and that my death would somehow give their lives that little bit more meaning. I wouldn't want to be forgotten by those who loved me in life, but at the same time I would be devastated to hear if they put their lives on hold because I had passed away.
If I die early, I want my partner to always remember me but go on and live life, and find a loving and caring guy to spend life with that could take care of him in my place.
I think this kind of love and caring for others can only be discovered in ourselves when we accept our impermanence in the world - in my view, belief in an afterlife devalues the little time we have in life.
