I watched a video of a man who had come back to life several times. He was also a hospice volunteer and had assisted those on their deathbeds, so he was with people moving into their spiritual selves. The main thrust of his testimony was that we should stop fearing death because we do not die; we are only unburdened by our bodies. He never said he was a believer. However, he did not fear what would come, so I don't think he faced hell. I don't know if he was telling the truth or just sensationalizing for clicks on his video; however, what he said matched scripture concerning the ever-after. As believers, we shouldn't fear death because we will go into the presence of Jesus and should welcome it. I know what you're thinking; what about the people we leave behind? If you are concerned about your loved ones and their trajectory after the body's demise, do your work now; don't wait. Close that door so you can leave this realm with confidence. Once you've planted and watered seeds, it's up to the Holy Spirit to draw them in, but it's up to them to bear fruit. Remember, you will only leave this world alone if you don't trust your life to Jesus, but if you love him, your angel will be right there to assist you when you cross that glorious bridge. 

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Matthew 25:46
