It is not at all clear to me that what is called "being alive" is what is occurring here in what is called "this life." For example, what is called "being awake" appears to me to be some form of being asleep. Similarly, to be conscious is, in large part, to be unconscious. There are many forms of this kind of dissonance - a radical disconnect between what is stated verbally and what is experienced directly. So, it is sensible to me to see this experience known as "life" to be some form of death and to consider what is called "life after death" to be a concept as hopelessly confused as the rest of our so-called "understanding." Ultimately, the whole notion of belief does appear to be our most essential pathology.
