Human consciousness - NOT amateur radio

Death puzzles me. 

When we die we no longer have brain cells so whatever makes us who we are no longer exists . We really know so little. 

Indeed I cannot know if anyone really exists! To me,  time is real and  passes, but I have no way to tell if this is there for those  other than me! 

Maybe  the whole universe is just in my head and is unique to everyone. 

Do we really have memories or are we just programmed to think we have  memories?

Maybe I think too much!
