Like - Jack's father said - they all died sometime - some long after Jack and some before. So once all of them had died they created this perfect world so that they could find each other in the afterlife. So essentially - everything that happened on the island, actually happened. We don't know what happened after Jack died and before the remaining alive ones died - presumably, Ben and Hurley protected the island, Kate/Sawyer/Clare etc all got off on the airplane that Lapidus flew and lived whatever lift. Then when they all died they found each other in this perfect 'reality'

Ya and to pick up on that, the producers had mentioned that Jack was always meant to be the "Hero" or the "Protagonist".
That was the case with his actions throughout the series but also the series itself followed Jacks life, from the moment his eye opened in episode one to the moment his eye closed in the finale. Others died earlier and, others continued on but the series followed the life of Jack.
