When you say "one's life" does it include one's subjective experience?
If yes,
Have you any recollection of non-existence? I'd imagine the answer might be - no.
If no recollection of non-existence, why the assumption of it? More trust in what happens to others than within your own experience?
Under the
assumption that non-existence is a thing - something that exists/can be experienced - you conclude that "life" ends upon death.
The stakes, accordingly, are high.
That assumption and conclusion are fine. They may not be held by the majority, however.
