Absolute oblivion. And even if some sort of consciousness could be somehow retained, what would await anyone would be an ''eternal'' non-existence devoid of any feelings whatsoever.

For these people, it often provides ''relief'' when they finally get to know their loved one is ''dead''. A message which normally is the worst one you can imagine makes these people feel ''better''. Because [[Nothing Is Scarier]] than imagining every day what [[Fate Worse Than Death|bad things]] might be happening to their loved one right now...
* Perhaps [[Older Than Dirt]] and the worst fear of every hypochondriac: You may have an uncurable deadly disease and you don't know (yet).
** Maybe you could have saved your life if you went to the doctor after that strange [insert some random trivial symptom here] yesterday - but as you ignored it, you're doomed now.
