I think death means without God, I'm not sure it means nonexistence. However, throughout other scriptures where our lives are like vapor or a mist, or that burning like chaffs of wheat, etc. indicate we do cease to exist. Hell is eternal. The gnashing of teeth, etc. may be because there are souls dying there constantly. I struggle with making sense of it, but I believe hell is eternal. Unless we are saved, we are forgotten without a memory left of us and we cease to exist after our judgment.
