Indeed it does. This is why I try to remind myself that this kind of thinking can only torment me when I'm alive, and I should stop wasting time. Especially at 2am, which of course is when I have these kinds of thoughts to begin with.

My dad and I used to talk about this and decided that we lived forever, as a practical matter. "Before" and "after" just speculation.

I eventually came to the same conclusion. It used to spook me but I realized that death practically does not exist because I cannot experience it.
