The million dollar question! If atheists are correct, then NO. Death would be a shift from self awareness to oblivion. Oblivion is the same as nothing, you aren’t aware of it, because awareness ceases, so it’s not even dark and silent, death is 0, nothing.
If the theists are correct, then that self awareness that was part of living has a transition. No point trying to argue and discuss what that transition would be and where the ‘soul’ goes next. Every religion on the planet will try and sell you a belief system about that, with no qualifying authority whatsoever. The authority comes the minute you choose to believe. As an agnostic, I’d argue that you should keep an open mind and wait until the end of your life to get a sensible answer to the question. It will be a win-win scenario anyway. You’ll either never know, or you’ll find out.
Simple!
