When you die you don't immediately go to heaven or hell, you rot and are dead and that's all you'll do until the second coming (like it says in genesis, "from dust you came and to dust you shall return"). The dead know nothing, they feel nothing, they're dead and won't be going anywhere or doing anything unless God makes something else happen.
Heaven isn't just about living forever, it's mostly about being with God forever-- there's really nothing to be afraid of about death, it's just nothing. If you want to be with God forever, why wouldn't you want to be with Him now? That's why God gave us free will, so we can choose what we want to do, even if He wants us to do something else. Hell isn't a place of eternal suffering, it's just one if two choices: to be with God forever and to be apart from God forever.

(I really wish there were a word I could use to say hell that isn't hell, it has way too many other connotations about eternal suffering and stuff) (also I'm not meaning "you" as in you specifically, I would say "one" but then it sounds like I'm trying to be posh)
