Maybe this will convince you.

Obviously, the mind (as one of the minor aspects of the soul) survives
just fine without the brain, in fact, it feels better without its
limitations.
Brain is just a tool that helps the soul in manifestation of some of
its nature, on the physical plane. Without it, the connection with the
physical plane is lost, but to the soul, death of the body means
freedom.
