At the moment of death that is who you are forever ...
Good, bad, indifferent, angry, moody, hungry, sensual, lusty etc.
forever is a long time ... I won't get into the religion thing, but it borders on the faith thing, either you have faith or you don't.
My ancestors celebrate death with Irish wakes, but I cried and cried when my mother died ... with faith I'll see her again someday
