The moment of death is your consciousness fragments into all the multitudes of consciousnesses that comprises the living tissue that once was coordinated into the super organism that was you. You—all those consciousnesses, which are red blood cells, bone tissues, brian matter, etc.—all this consciousnesses which are less aware, have no common goal, so they go off on their own and eventually die, and break down into their proteins and atoms, etc.
The complex consciousness that was you becomes more consciousnesses that are stupider and care about smaller things, until those things break down as well until eventually it becomes non-life.
The singular entity that was you, however, with all your cares and importances, ceases to physically exist. Your legacy lives on as the causality of your actions echoing outwards in reality, but that too will fade.
