To be honest, for me the idea of complete oblivion after death is rather hard to accept although it's technically understandable. It's hard to accept that consciousness does not function under some sort of special conservation law and to wrap you mind around 'nothingness' which comes after it dies. Of course it's kind of depressing. It must be a normal defensive reaction against potentially going mad, I guess. I'd say that a little bit of self-delusion in this matter is ok unless it starts to affect your reasoning in a harmful way. It's better to accept the facts if you can, of course.
Speaking of Afterlife as the Abrahamic religions put it... for me it's too much composed of naive wish-fulfillment. 'The evil' are eternally punished, 'the good' are living happily ever after etc. etc.
