Why is it SO hard for people to believe that we cease to exist when we die? That there is nothing left?

The point when I found it SO hard to believe that was when my grandma died. I just cannot accept that she is gone, and there is nothing left of her except the memories in my mind. I need hope to go on. I gave myself hope that all the people who have died in my life will be there to greet me in some form of an afterlife. Prior to losing someone close to me (But not my brother Simon as I was too young to remember him) I thought that we probably just cease to exist, but I was never 100% sure. Now I WANT to believe that there is an afterlife, that my deceased loved ones are out there somewhere...
