Nothing, you simply stop existing. Any other answer is a cope.

Dude you can't say this with a straight face. Science nor religion can prove or disprove any sort of afterlife, and never will be able to. Science has it's limits and religion is called faith for a reason.

Yes, I'd like to believe there's another chance at life because I've been thrown some permanent disabilities I can't do a damn thing about; but at the end of the day I'm not just blindly hoping and praying.

Maybe it is just nothingness. That's very possible. But then why are NDE's so incredible as described by people that have them? I have memories of being struck and killed by lightning. It wasn't painful at all; it was like the biggest surge of energy and nerves you can imagine for about 2 seconds and I was dead.

Life is full of mystery man, you should keep your mind open and you'll enjoy your current life that much more. It's an amazing world, we don't know how or why we're here or what happens afterwards. But if literally anything is possible (You were already in a state of nothingness before you were ever born) why wouldn't you want to believe so?

Don't forget what einstein said. He believes in some sort of afterlife simply because you can't know. The important part though; if you're wrong and there is none, what have you lost? Nothing, because you're not consciously able to regret or care about the loss. So just go for it man and appreciate life for it's mysterious wonders. You'll be happier all in all. :)
