This article doesn't address the title question for me. It starts off by implying some insight into whether or not our consciousness persists or simply dissolves into nothingness, but concludes with the same old trope about our bodies matter and energy being recycled into the universe. Our matter and energy are not our consciousness, the arrangement of our matter and energy is most likely our consciousness.
"I" was perfectly fine before I was born, and therefore I'm very certain "I" will be perfectly fine after I die. That's comforting to me when I periodically have an existential crisis.
