[Tolkien] So do the Dwarves get the short end (no pun) of the eschatological stick?

So I get that The Gift of Men (mortality, being free to forge their own path, being independent of the world and going someplace "else" upon death) applies to Men and Hobbits. I get that Elves are tied to Arda and to the Music of the Ainur such that they are effectively bound to both until the world ends and the music ceases. What I don't get is... just how shafted are the Dwarves by all this?    
  
Like, Dwarves are not immortal as the Elves are (living for a few hundred years tops). In this respect, they share the concept of mortality with Men. However, Dwarven souls also don't go someplace "else" upon death (the halls of Eru Illuvatar?) as those of Men do; likewise, they don't enjoy the power to forge their own destinies as Men do, and are just as bound to the fate of nature as the Elves. So just what exactly happens to a Dwarf soul when the body dies? Does it just cease to exist? Do Dwarves get the negatives of both Elven and Human fates while enjoying the benefits of neither?    
  
Or is it simply the case that Dwarves don't have souls of their own, despite being gifted with true life by Eru Illuvatar?

No body knows, the Dwarves weren’t planned like elves and men but Eru gave them life anyway.

The Dwarves have their own beliefs about the nature of their souls and their afterlives. Good luck getting them to tell you their religion, they don’t even tell outsiders their actual names.
