In quantum mechanics, particles can pop into and out of 'existence'

So although it's small quantities of matter, the amount of matter and energy in the universe is not constant. (If you want me to find some scientific essays on it, I can, but it will take awhile, cause I leave for college tomorrow and will be very busy)

Also, your memory will be gone when you are dead, and ultimately (although it is theory, it is a plausible fate) the universe will end with every atom decaying to a hydrogen atom, and moving further and further apart. So all of your atoms will have broken down to the most basic state of 1 proton hydrogen atoms. So I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'specific'

Also,think about this: If you take all the atoms that made you when you were alive, and reconstructed them perfectly into your body, you would have your memory, let alone the same personality etc. (Although we are incapable of doing that today, it is perfectly possible to do so given a few technological advances.)

And I still don't understand how the people in the second option are "me" in any way. I don't suppose someone could explain that? AFAIK, they're completely unrelated people.
Well said on both

will you give us an URL?

Anyway, if I die first, I promise to "pass the message" somehow. I just imagine a post/thread on ToS:

"Look guys, you'll say I am mad but I am haunted by Apache. As soon as I close my eyes she is there, saying that she has died & threatening to haunt me until I post whatever delirium she is saying. She is flying around in circles, laughing with evil laughter & screaming "Post it, post it, post it!" So I'd better do it cos my sanity is under attack...

and then...
Option 1: Apache says that there's Nothing out there. Nada. Rien. Zero patatero. & this is her last message ever before complete disappearance.

Option 2. Apache says she is having the high of all highs (what she means by "she" is beyond me, "Something that makes you unique & different from any other person on Earth minus your physical body" Dunno). It's all peace & love, Eywa is real, & some cool things she can't even explain cos there are no concepts for them in human language. But Do Not hurry into "out there" cos if you do (i.e. try to kill yourself) you'll be stuck in "the twilight zone" (which I don't get either but it doesn't seem nice).

Anyway, now that I've posted it, I hope she stops haunting me once and for all!!"
