Now if you think you turn into nothingness - then coming to terms with never thinking again or being conscience - that's it. To me that's more scary.

Nothingness isn't that scary. Think of it this way: what was it like before you were born? You were nothing then and it wasn't so bad right?
I also find comfort in this quote:
Quote:
Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it’s there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It’s a wave.
And then it crashes in the shore and it’s gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it’s one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it’s supposed to be.
