Within nature everything changes. Some things grow and something decay. Even matter has a rate of reduction caused by subatomic particles abandoning their nucleolus.
Considering the fact that your body grows and changes but your identity remain constant, why do you think that your “I” will change when your body dies? It seems logical to say if identity is constant through bodily changes it will continue to be constant after the ultimate change of death.
There was an atheist who requested that after his death his favorite tree should be planted on his grave. He said he wanted to become the beauty of his dreams.
Would you urinate on a beautiful tree in order to become part of it? It seems that when the matter which makes up your body leaves you it becomes something else. It seems illogical to me that your “I” is anything physical. Then what is it?

I believe that my "I" is like a fridge light. It exists when there is something it reacts to. That is meant in the widest, universal sense - something to react to may mean incarnating as a being, as I obviously have, or other states of awareness of existence I have currently no grasp of. It may well be that my "I" may seem non-existent to others at times. But that's only because my cosmic fridge door is closed.
