Hey Cimi! Welcome in this forum, first of all! : )
I consider myself lucky as for some reason, I have totally accepted the idea that I am not Me, but I am something greater that decided to experience being Me in the first place. I have faith in that I will absolutely enjoy being Me in a different way. After all, when one experiences certain feelings, those fill you up in a way that does not really allow any personality to exist. When you feel love, feel loved, or feel pain, for that matter, there is not much room for complex personalities to cling to anyway.
But, regardless of how I feel about this, I have seen many who struggle with the idea that this existence, as a role for an actor, will be put down once for some reason. Know this, then: just as we all remember the great heroes in our stories, and those that really love them could recite their every action, every thought, intent and struggle, just as easily will our higher self remember, accept and embrace everything we did in our lives - and even more so, as they will literally be able to tap back into our experiences for a moment-to-moment basis, if the concepts of non-veiled existence are anything to base this theory on.
So worry not, I say. Also, it is good to get used to the idea of the soul not "leaving the body" (as you asked: where does our soul go), but the body leaving the soul once it is not able to function properly, for one reason or another. Or once the soul decides that it is time to hang the mantle. The soul does not go anywhere, as there is nothing to go but here, and there is nothing but now.
