Do you mean; "Don't be dead"? Yeah, I was thinking about this too that maybe on some level John knows but he's not certain. Because that sort of statement is kind of an OOC thing for him to say, if he was sure Sherlock was dead, because he's usually so resolute and that's more something a child would say like; "Please wake up." And so John isn't as much grieving (or he is but in a different sense) but he's going through the same unbearable agony of 'not knowing' as say someone would if someone they loved disappeared without a trace and they have no idea if they're alive or dead, suffering or okay, if they even want to come home etc. That kind of worry can be as sickening as grief.
Bloody hell, do I ramble. :P TL:DR, yeah, I agree.
