D. Both poems suggest a form of life after death that should not be feared

Whitman´s attitude toward deat in song of myself is one of peace and at ease with what´s coming after death, that theres is nothing to be feared after people die, in that case it is similar to Dickinson´s attitude in 712:Because I could not stop for Death shows the same easeness towards death and what comes after it, and they both show that theres is something after death.
