I think death will be a chaotic experience unlike anything we have ever known, as the brain and body both shut down, but I think there will be peace in its last moments; as the brain dies, the neurons die and all memories, hopes, and fears will all fall away leaving no fear of death at the end nor any desire for immortality.
As for how I feel about death, I love the idea of ceasing to exist. I much prefer that to the idea of an afterlife or reincarnation. I've already made my peace with the idea that my life will mean little to anyone once I am gone. Even the greatest figures in history are only remembered for the things they have done, not for all the details of their life. And mine will be forgotten probably within a generation.
