If you’re freshly dead you shouldn’t expect anything at all.
But I’m sure that’s not quite what you mean. As I understand it, Quantum Immortality is the view that the only way to really die is to have no “successors” at all, where a successor is loosely defined as someone who remembers being you.
I think that’s all it is. It’s not claiming that the universe will go to special lengths (beyond ordinary MWI) to ensure that you do indeed have such successors. But if ordinary MWI implies that even bizarre events, like corpses not degrading, actually happen in tiny branches of reality, then your scenario is one way to have successors.
