Regarding “Death”...... I can conceive of no difference, potentially distinguishable by me personally, between the lack of “existence awareness” which characterized my “pre-birth” period.... and that same "non awareness of existing" which still occurs often in deep sleep..... and that imagined "state of non awareness" that will likely occur upon completion of my life. Same thing! If "I" am not "aware" of existing...I don't exist! So far in my life, I do have memory of multiple previous episodes of "non awareness", but if this "subsequent memory of previous non awareness" pattern ceases.....I'll never know it!

it is possible that this “non-awareness” is a wiping of the memories of a life in preparation for the beginning of another. you say you recall a number of these experiences, so perhaps you are an old soul, living with the collective lessons of a thousand lives and are that much closer to what the buddhists refer to as nirvana.
