We cannot separate what we have created from what we are/were/will be.
Our bodies "die" in that the cells no longer work together to form the meaningful unit of "me."
The cells one by one will die and be consumed by another organism.
The steps we have taken, the thoughts we have spread out into the world, these ripples all continue even when the heart stops beating. You cannot undo what you've done.
The matter which made our bodies is consumed and used by other organisms. The matter that made us was comprised of organisms consumed before.
Life after death? Death is only the end of ego. Everything else keeps going.
