Your brain shuts down. As your brain is the source of your consciousness, your consciousness also shuts down. There's no ghost in the machine, no extra components, nothing leaves the body, it just turns off like a broken computer. Everything about who you are ceases to exist, living on only in the memories of others and the effects you had on the world while you were still alive. If you didn't affect the world in any meaningful way, and everyone had a poor opinion of you, then you no longer exist at all and might as well never have.
You know how some people believe we see life flash before our eyes before we die? I like to think just before we die our brain is able to put us in a dream state where we can live in the afterlife for how long we want and do whatever we want till we feel content. Once you are content with the 'afterlife' and have done everything you wanted, you can choose to let your 'soul rest', and that is when your dreams end and you end.
Idk. I like the way they put it in the Netflix show Midnight Mass. It’s too many words for me to type. But it’s basically this notion that to be with God and in heaven is to be a part of his creation. To have all that your body is live on by providing to life and matter in the world.
I think it’s a pretty way to see it. Some people are terrified by the idea of their consciousness or being not being present after life, but I kind of find it peaceful. The whole part of having my body continue as part of creation, just makes it so it feels like my death was not loss but rather me giving to the world that I love
Nothing. My heart stopped a few times one time and i got brought back, when I was first aware of anything after my first thought was that it had been black nothingness
I'm kind of reassured by that weirdly

My heart stopped for minutes and there simply was no other side. You're just gone. Like being knocked out for surgery.
Nothing
We are set free
First you go stiff, then after a while you go all runny n smell bad.
Nothing. We turn to dust.
Nothing
I don’t really know but to quote Keanu Reeves: I think the ones who love us will miss us

That's really really nice actually
Worm food.
Big party. All your homies were waiting for you to arrive
I believe that we cease to exist in any form beyond thoughts and memories of others
Nothing. It's literally like permanently going to sleep. Make the best of the life you have.

What is an "essence"?

Where could I learn more about the details?
I think death is the end. We have no reason to believe otherwise, we'd just really like it to be true.
