I have found in my own readings that Ra seems to be almost "catalytic" in thier discussion of death throughout the LOO. They know that death/mortality is our issue; the one thing we really can't get over. For this reason, I get the feeling Ra is challenging us by giving us a very bleak-sounding scenario. However, as we are warned, trust nothing that brings fear, and that's why I question some sort of terrible end to us all.
On the other side of the coin, perhaps Ra handled the idea of death in that manner to prompt us to contemplate death. Any fear felt in the reader is the simply the energy behind Ra's words filtered through the reader's "faulty" belief system. If one feel's fear when Ra talks about death in such a straightforward way, then one knows they have beliefs about death that may not be congruent to their true self.
Contemplating in light the circumstances which instilled fear (in this case, talk of death) is a great balancing technique.
We will all take from Ra's words that which serves us best.
