I think considering death is very healthy, although like any obsession can then become counter-productive.

Are they reffering to 'nothing' as void? Can someone explain that paragraph of "What happens to us when we die?"

I tend to agree that when we die we dissolve into nothing - the cosmic consciousness from where we came. Where our individual consciousness simply ceases to be.
From an individual viewpoint, this may seem a little depressing. Although if we see ourselves as this universe, beyond our individuality, then we realise we live on through everyone and everything eternally. This I find so very beautiful, and allows me to appreciate my existence; the existence of others; and the world around me - in each continuous moment.
